Indoor drone with customized electronic modules
The Quadrocopter ROBi by manufacturer U-ROB was developed for demanding applications in buildings.
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.
Universal Robots Powers Vectis Automation's New Cobot Welding Tool, Offers Leverage to Manufacturers Addressing Labor Crisis and Rising Costs
Vectis Automation has chosen Universal Robots' UR10e cobot to power the Vectis Cobot Welding Tool launching at FABTECH 2019 in Chicago, giving smaller weld shops a low-risk, easy solution to increase weld capacity, quality and stability.
Continuous operation excellence
Food and beverage production is becoming continuous to keep up with rising demands. To maintain the flow of products and to make sure there are low levels of waste, spoilage or contamination inside a continuous system, automation must be integrated into the production line.
Rotary Encoder - Best Mechanical Device to Measure Pulses
Encoder is a device that compiles and converts a signal or data into a signal that can be used for communication, transmission, and storage. It is used in a variety of applications including industrial automation, medical, robotics, textiles, renewable energy and more.
Epson to Showcase Award-Winning Robot Portfolio and New Parts Feeding Solution at the Assembly Show
Epson Will Also Lead a Discussion on Parts Feeding 101 for Robot Automation
Need help coupling two parallel shafts? We offer a full family of Power-On Clutches
Power-on Clutches are used to couple two parallel shafts. The armature hub assembly is mounted to the same shaft as the rotor assembly. The armature hub accommodates a pulley, gear, sprocket, etc., to transmit torque to the second shaft. The field assembly is mounted on the shaft and retained by a loose-fitting pin or bracket through the anti-rotation tab.
New Shaft Couplings for Stepper Motors
Shaft couplings are actually the mechanical device that connects or couples the two drive element or shaft together for transmitting the power from one end to another. Couplings do not allow any shaft interruption during operation. Anyway, with the torque limiting couplings can disconnect when the limit of the torque is exceeded.
New Motion Control Products from STEPPERONLINE
Stepper motor driver is an actuator which can transform pulse signal into angular displacement signal, it drives stepper motor to rotate at an angle called step angle in the set direction when receiving a pulse signal. The motor speed is up to the pulse frequency given from the controller, and the displacement is decided on the pulse quantity given from the controller.
SMAC Meets OEM Form, Fit and Function Requirements for Existing Solutions
