-Comau will exhibit its seamless integration with the Unified Robotic Management (URC) Answer from Rockwell Automation as a part of an revolutionary dealing with and palletizing software
-Comau underscores its long-term collaboration with Intrinsic to make the following era of robotics extra accessible to all
Comau is spearheading the Energy of Automation with new digital-driven, superior robotic and highly effective AI-backed automation options, which it’ll unveil at Automate, North America’s main automation present. Underscoring its international presence with native roots, Comau will probably be at Chicago’s McCormick Place from Could 6-9, 2024 in Sales space 4041 to debut the brand new S-Household of small 6-axis articulated “crimson” robots and a brand new AI-enabled vision-based automated piece-picking resolution for random objects (Sales space 4041). Comau’s distinctive method to creating superior automation extremely intuitive and accessible is designed to deal with the continued progress of business automation, which is predicted to achieve as much as 14% CAGR 2024-2030*, thus bringing the advantages of superior automation options to an rising number of diversified markets.
Automate is the best backdrop for Comau’s unique worldwide launch of the brand new S-Household of high-speed, vitality environment friendly robots, with payloads of 13 kg and as much as 18 kg, which can be particularly designed for arc welding and dealing with functions the place accuracy, repeatability and velocity are non-negotiable. That includes a protecting water and dust-resistant IP68 hollow-wrist design, with built-in arc and gigabit dressings, the 6-axis articulated robots are good for a variety of arc welding, dealing with, meals & beverage and common meeting functions, along with foundry, automotive, and battery manufacturing processes. Additional advantages embrace improved entry to small areas, protected cables to keep away from injury and scale back the chance of contamination in delicate environments, and a number of mounting positions (ground, wall, ceiling) to optimize house and enhance robotic density with out sacrificing efficiency.
The compact, strong and versatile robots, with which Comau returns to its historic crimson robotic roots, will probably be featured inside an illustration cell showcasing an arc welding software. In a second cell, Comau will current an automatic product sorting and choosing system that includes MI.RA/OnePicker which can robotically detect and distinguish between randomly positioned objects. A 3rd demo cell with a Racer-3 robotic will determine objects in a number of frames to carry out palletizing, coloration sorting and depalletizing by means of using the Unified Robotic Management Library and Emulate3D from Rockwell Automation, additional confirming the robust relationship between the businesses.
Comau Open Controller, which was nominated for an Automate Innovation Award, is a complicated proprietary robotic management software program that allows exterior PCs to seamlessly management Comau robots, making it the go-to alternative for corporations, universities, analysis facilities, and revolutionary industries seeking to implement their very own movement technique or algorithms to manage a robotic.
Comau’s MATE-XT and MATE-XB higher and decrease physique exoskeletons will even be on show. Aligned with Comau’s steadfast dedication to serving to staff of their every day duties and serving to corporations obtain their sustainability objectives, they’re designed to help the wearer throughout lifting, bending and repetitive duties by providing each muscular aid and lowered perceived effort. In consequence, the exoskeletons shield employee well-being in addition to the standard of guide duties, and may assist people who, with out the correct help, could also be excluded from sure varieties of work.
One other means Comau is supporting staff and firms is thru upskilling and reskilling initiatives with Comau Academy and its revolutionary instructional e.DO™ robotic. e.DO-based coaching contains digital expertise coaching, robotic programming, simulated welding coaching, and extra.
“With greater than 50 years of expertise in automotive, probably the most complicated realities when it comes to processes, cycle instances, flexibility necessities and expertise charges, Comau is in a chief place to fulfill the rising demand for sustainable automation, significantly in rising sectors that beforehand lacked automation.” defined Pietro Gorlier, Comau CEO. “As a 360° automation companion in a position to shortly transition from R&D to field-tested deployable innovation, Comau is forging new floor in harnessing the facility of automation to drive more and more complicated manufacturing duties everywhere in the world.”
Leveraging the energy of its international presence at an area degree, Comau will talk about how it’s powering automation innovation within the USA and elsewhere in logistics, warehousing, hydrogen and e-Mobility in addition to in shipbuilding, aerospace and different unstructured environments with its clever robots and cellular robotic options.
To this finish, Comau underscores its longstanding collaboration as an Trade and Innovation Accomplice with Intrinsic, an Alphabet firm and Google moonshot, with whom Comau is working to make the following era of robotics considerably extra accessible for corporations of all sizes and throughout all industries. Certainly, the 2 corporations will showcase the joint options at their respective stands (Intrinsic sales space 2808).
