"We're thrilled to extend our Pendant Armor product line to now include Kawasaki and Mitsubishi teach pendant protection," said Chris Tur, president and CEO of Roboworld. "Our protective bumpers have saved our customers from costly — sometimes as much as $15k — mistakes that an inadvertent drop or spill can incur. With Pendant Armor protection, our customers can avoid downtime and save thousands of dollars."

The Kawasaki E-series Bumper ($329), Kawasaki E-series Hanger ($35), Kawasaki E-series Screen Protector ($60), Mitsubishi R86 Bumper ($329), and Mitsubishi R86 Tempered Glass ($75) are now available for ordering. Distributor pricing is available upon request.

Pendant Armor is the first shock-absorbing, chemical-resistant bumper that guards a teach pendant against drops, spills, and extreme manufacturing conditions. Manufactured from Santoprene™, Pendant Armor is designed and engineered to allow for custom molding around each OEM's unique pendant architecture, regardless of size or shape. Pendant Armor protects the exposed components most often damaged when the pendant hits the ground, while its perforated, open-backed design minimizes additional weight without sacrificing critical protection.

Pendant Armor protective bumpers are available at www.Roboworld.com for ABB, Denso, FANUC, KEBA, KUKA, Ready Robotics, Universal Robots, Wittmann, Yaskawa, and now Kawasaki and Mitsubishi teach pendants.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
