Develop new robotic capabilities with ROS 2 for VxWorks. ROS 2 for VxWorks® project provides custom modifications and build scripts to integrate the Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2) framework with VxWorks 7. ROS 2 is a set of software libraries and tools that aid in building robot applications. Build ROS 2 for VxWorks using 1) with a VxWorks SDK that is available on the site under a free non-commercial use license; or via 2) with a commercially-licensed VxWorks product.
• Vacuum generation that's 100% electrical; • Integrated intelligence for energy and process control; • Extensive communication options through IO-Link interface; Schmalz already offers a large range of solutions that can optimize handling process from single components such as vacuum generators to complete gripping systems. Particularly when used in autonomous warehouse, conventional vacuum generation with compressed air reaches its limits. Compressed air often is unavailable in warehouses. Schmalz therefore is introducing a new technology development: a gripper with vacuum generation that does not use compressed air. The vacuum is generated 100% electrically. This makes the gripper both energy efficient and mobile. At the same time, warehouses need systems with integrated intelligence to deliver information and learn. This enables the use of mobile and self-sufficient robots, which pick production order at various locations in the warehouse. Furthermore, Schmalz provides various modular connection options from its wide range of end effectors in order to handle different products reliably and safely.
IO-Link is the first standardized IO technology worldwide for communication from the control system to the lowest level of automation.
App Your Sensor®! What would smartphones be without apps? They would be mobile phones that can't do much more than make phone calls and sending SMS. Apps turn smartphones into intelligent assistants with any number of different tasks. Transferred into the world of image processing, this app-based approach transforms cameras and sensors into customised, smart vision sensors.
Pleora's AI Gateway provides a hybrid approach that allows system designers, integrators, and end-users to add more advanced AI capabilities alongside existing sensor sources and classic computer vision algorithms.
Vert-X 05E Series of dual angle/speed sensors. The series features easy mounting in small and narrow spaces with a 5 mm body depth and mounting flanges with metal inserts. The sensors make measurements only 6 mm from edge of product for close-to-wall measurement applications. Vert-X 05E Series sensors measure angles from 0 to 360°, rotational speed and direction with repeatability to 0.1°.
Easily integrate Gocator® 3D line profile and snapshot sensors with a variety of industrial robots to deliver high-performance 3D results in vision guidance, flexible inspection, material dispensing, and automated assembly with smart pick-and-place. Adding 3D vision to a robot turns repetitive, fixed motion into smart movement that can unlock greater value for your automation investment.
TX2 robots: redefining performance by offering collaborative safety and high performance in a single machine. These pioneering robots can be used in all areas, including sensitive and restrictive environments, thanks to their unique features. Safety functions are easy and inexpensive to implement. They allow a higher level of interactions between robots and human operators, while still guaranteeing protection of your people, production and investment.
REIKU's Cable Saver™ Solution eliminates downtime, loss of revenue, expensive cable and hose replacement costs, maintenance labour costs. It's available in three sizes 36, 52 and 70 mm. All of the robots cables and hoses are protected when routed through the Cable Saver™ corrugated tubing. The Cable Saver™ uses a spring retraction system housed inside the Energy Tube™ to keep this service loop out of harms way in safe location at the rear of the Robot when not required. The Cable Saver™ is a COMPLETE solution for any make or model of robot. It installs quickly-on either side of the robot and has been tested to resist over 15 million repetitive cycles.
