OnRobot’s new 2FG14 and 3FG25 electrical grippers for heavy-duty, collaborative purposes at the moment are launching together with the brand new machine tending resolution AutoPilot powered by D:PLOY, developed in collaboration with Ellison Applied sciences.
Collaborative purposes have developed so much over current years with cobot manufacturers now able to dealing with round 30 kg (66.13 lb). On the similar time, industrial robots are more and more being deployed in collaborative purposes, requiring a stronger end-effector platform that permits improved workpiece adaptability.
“Constructing on the success of our present, industry-proven gripper vary, the brand new 3FG25 and 2FG14 grippers ship unmatched gripping and payload energy whereas additionally offering customizability for heavy-duty purposes, together with harsh environments.”
OnRobot, the world’s main supplier of {hardware} and software program options for collaborative purposes, is ready to showcase two highly effective new grippers designed for heavy-duty purposes at Sales space #1424 at Automate 2024 in Chicago, Might 6-9.
The brand new three-fingered 3FG25 gripper offers customers with 25 kg (55.1 lb) of payload energy in a compact, all electrical, light-weight kind, unlocking the potential of the newest cobots.
“As cobots develop extra highly effective, OnRobot prospects are scaling up their collaborative purposes,” says Enrico Iversen, CEO, OnRobot. “Constructing on the success of our present, industry-proven gripper vary, the brand new 3FG25 and 2FG14 grippers ship unmatched gripping and payload energy whereas additionally offering customizability for heavy-duty purposes, together with harsh environments.”
Unmatched within the collaborative electrical gripper area The 2 new grippers are unmatched within the collaborative electrical gripper area, making them a robust and clever different to much less adaptable pneumatic programs. No different electrical grippers on this payload vary supply an all-round plug and produce expertise, together with fingers with a number of configurations, flange adapters, cabling and complete software program that removes complexity of robotic programming.
Elevated means to deal with cylindrical workpieces CNC machine tending purposes sometimes contain heavy metallic workpieces. It is a area the place OnRobot’s industry-proven 3FG15 has been broadly adopted, not least for its means to efficiently deal with cylindrical and odd-shaped gadgets.
However dealing with heavier elements requires greater forces and dealing with greater elements requires a finger platform designed to accommodate bigger customized fingers. The brand new 3FG25 gripper addresses each necessities, whereas nonetheless being, totally electrical, and straightforward to make use of. Set to launch formally on Might thirtieth, 2024, pre-orders for the 3FG25 may be positioned at Automate.
Fashionable two-fingered gripper doubles its payload OnRobot’s newly launched 2FG14 can be making its North American debut at Automate. Doubling the payload and gripping power of OnRobot’s standard 2FG7 gripper whereas additionally offering 30% extra complete stroke, the 2FG14 is a light-weight parallel finger gripper with a payload of 14 kg (30.8 lb). The gripper is right in for instance CNC machine tending purposes that contain dealing with heavy metallic workpieces with a brand new base design for difficult work environments the place workpieces are often uncovered to oils or slicing fluids.
“The 2FG14 is a superb gripper. It is easy to make use of and permits our cobots to keep up most payload,” says Alex Pinkerton, Mechanical Engineer at Gosiger, a number one robotics integration agency. “OnRobot merchandise have intuitive, operator-friendly consumer interfaces and the 2FG14 maintains this custom. It is good for demanding packaging, machine tending, and meeting purposes.”
Ellison Applied sciences’ AutoPilot Powered by D:PLOY OnRobot has additionally collaborated with supplier of superior machining options, Ellison Applied sciences, on the brand new AutoPilot powered by D:PLOY showcased in Doosan Robotics’ Automate Sales space #850. Ellison’s AutoPilot powered by D:PLOY simplifies the method of deploying and redeploying CNC machine tending purposes.
OnRobot’s D:PLOY is {industry}’s first automated platform for constructing, operating, monitoring, and redeploying collaborative purposes. D:PLOY automates the deployment course of, which slashes deployment instances and permits deployments to happen on the manufacturing facility flooring – with zero programming and nil simulations required.
“Firms racing to plug labor gaps and meet rising demand in an unsure financial local weather cannot afford to spend weeks deploying and redeploying CNC machine tending automation,” says Greg Haley, VP of Automation at Ellison Applied sciences. “D:PLOY is the right software program for Ellison’s AutoPilot resolution because it decreases the programming complexity and makes half changeover a snap. This places automated CNC machine tending in attain for extra prospects than ever, even these with excessive combine, low quantity half runs.”
About OnRobot OnRobot was based in 2018 with the mission of breaking down automation obstacles and bringing the advantages of robotic automation to producers of all sizes and industries. Headquartered in Odense, Denmark, and with workplaces unfold throughout the globe, OnRobot is the world’s main supplier of {hardware} and software program options for collaborative purposes, corresponding to palletizing, CNC machine tending, packaging, choose and place, sanding, screwdriving, and lots of extra.
