Standardized hardware, automatic tool changing, unified software, software-defined adaptability and operator-friendly controls can simplify integration while supporting faster production changes.
Analog Input vs Digital Input: What's the Difference?
From a robotic arm delicately gripping an object to a conveyor system detecting product presence, every action begins with input signals. These signals translate physical conditions-such as position, force, temperature, or presence - into data a machine can process.
Automate 2026 Q&A with DESTACO
At Booth 2218 visitors will see a wide range of DESTACO technologies in action, including robotic gripping, tool changing, workholding, and automation solutions designed to improve flexibility, simplify integration, and increase productivity.
DESTACO eRDH Electric Parallel Gripper
The eRDH stands out because it combines that rugged, workhorse durability DESTACO is known for with high-end, intelligent motor control and diagnostic feedback. It gives you the brains you need without sacrificing the brawn.
KNF Introduces Intelligent Pump Features for Flow, Pressure and Vacuum Control and Versatile Dosing
The pumps can operate autonomously or can be controlled via analog signals such as control voltage. For use in complex systems, the pumps also support modern communication protocols like UART, enabling seamless integration into smart environments.
Evolving Logistics: Why the Future of Warehousing Is Vacuum-Driven
In logistics, every physical touch point is a cost, a risk, and an opportunity. Vacuum technology, gripping intelligence, and ergonomic lifting are not just technical details; they are strategic levers to unlock capacity, protect people, and decarbonize operations.
piCOBOT® Electric for Logistics & Warehousing
Logistics and warehousing are shifting fast toward cobots, AMRs, and flexible automation. Many of these applications run far from traditional utilities, demand rapid reconfiguration, and are under pressure to cut energy use and emissions.
The ELG gets everything out!
With the long-stroke gripper ELG from SCHUNK, Girstenbrei Recycling is able to handle construction site fence bases made of recycled material economically, efficiently and ergonomically.
Robot Hand Could Harvest Blackberries Better Than Humans
The robotic gripper has three "fingers," each made of a soft, pliable material. When a "tendon" - in this case a guitar string - is pulled, the fingers retract.
DESTACO Unveils the eRDH Series Electric Parallel Gripper: The Future of Automated Handling
This latest addition to the DESTACO Robohand product line represents a significant leap forward in gripping technology, offering unparalleled precision, flexibility, and ease of use.
Automate 2025 Q&A with DESTACO
There's nothing like seeing our products in action. We will have live demonstrations, giving attendees the chance to see the performance and capabilities of our solutions up close and personal.
ProMat Q&A with Piab
Piab's exhibit at ProMat 2025 will highlight its dedication to advancing logistics and warehousing operations through cutting-edge vacuum technology.
Maximum process reliability for the protein source of the future
For more than 30 years, the SCHUNK PGN-plus-P gripper has been the most versatile gripper on the market, and is constantly finding new applications. A current and unusual application example is the use in the automated production of animal feed from insect larvae in Austria.
Miniature electric motors help robots get a grip
Guillaume Mougin, Product Manager at Portescap, explores how miniature electric motors are improving the performance of grippers in robotics.
How robots touch on the future of agriculture
One thing robot researchers are trying to mechanize is the human sense of touch. Sheeraz Athar, one of She's PhD students, is changing the game by re-thinking how touch works.
