Basler AG and drag and bot GmbH: Joint Integration Project Facilitates Robot Programming

In a joint project between Basler AG and drag and bot GmbH, Basler's 2D cameras were integrated into the graphical robot programming software drag&bot. Thanks to the integration of the proven Basler pylon Camera Software Suite into the drag&bot software, it is now possible to intuitively operate Basler 2D cameras in robotic applications. A second result of the cooperation is an improved driver for Basler 2D cameras for the Open Source Framework ROS.

MAGNETIC GRIPPER FOR ROBOTS

The recently improved magnetic gripper from Goudsmit Magnetics is used for the automated pick-up, placement or positioning of steel or other ferromagnetic objects. Examples include: removing sheet metal from presses, destacking products from boxes (bin picking), assembling steel parts or handling of punched steel parts, blanks and perforated steel sheets in robotic applications. The ultralight magnetic gripper is fitted with strong permanent neodymium magnets and is therefore extra safe. It can be used in grippers on robot arms. The handling magnets can be switched on and off by means of compressed air and have a tapped hole interface for attachment to a robot arm, optionally in combination with a spring plunger.

New Brushless DC Motor from STEPPERONLINE

Brushless DC motor or BLDC Motor consists of a motor and a drive. Since it operates automatically, it doesn't need extra starting windings on the rotor and it will not vibrate or lose steps when the load changes suddenly.

Sensorless Control of Brushless Motors

Many applications would benefit from a brushless motor without a sensor. There are various options for realizing this. A method developed by maxon is now setting new standards for precision and reliability.

Universal Robots Powers Vectis Automation's New Cobot Welding Tool, Offers Leverage to Manufacturers Addressing Labor Crisis and Rising Costs
