ESMERA goes Virtual – Robotics Experiments at Global Robot Expo

The ESMERA consortium joins the virtual version of the Global Robot Expo, taking place on October 20th and 21st. ESMERA presents some of their already successful experiments, among them NIx, a robot platform for remote inspection in harsh environments, WIRE COBOTS, a collaborative robot for wire harness assembly and REFLECT, also a collaborative robot tackling the assembly of deformable parts in dishwashers.

The ESMERA team and representatives of the respective experiments can be found at their booth in the virtual exhibition area and looks forward to meeting interested parties on site or rather, meeting them in their virtual avatars. Also, experiments from the ESMERA second Open Call will be present, even if they have just recently started their development process.
In addition to NIx, WIRE COBOTS and REFLECT, ESMERA welcomes three more experiments to their virtual booth. Rover4RT aims at being the robotic alternative, the non-chemical solution to removing and cutting back vegetation in railway maintenance tasks. iRTA is establishing a small robot-based system that can access steep slope vineyards and selectively apply pesticides / fungicides to individual plants, if needed. eQuals has been part of the ESMERA first Open Call and is developing an automated quality check system for car inspection in terms of painting.
The ESMERA consortium is looking forward to meeting partners, friends, industry and interested parties virtually.

About ESMERA
Within the European Commission's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, ESMERA aims to boost robotics innovation by European Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs). In January 2018, the European Commission launched the ESMERA project to unlock the innovation potential of robotics SMEs. ESMERA promotes applied robotics technology developed for industrial challenges set by key European companies. Thereby the SMEs get a chance to implement, apply and prove new technologies that address real-life problems and thus already have a market.

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
