If humans and machines are to work together in close proximity while maintaining a safe environment, functional safety will take today’s production systems one step closer to more flexibility. Below are end-of-arm tooling and safety solutions to use in collaboration with collaborative robots.
SCHUNK EGP-C CO-ACT GRIPPER
The Schunk EGP-C is the first certified industrial gripper for collaborative operation. Known for their precision and robustness, Schunk grippers provide stability and efficiency for assembly and handling. Schunk grippers are compatible with a wide variety of robots, including KUKA, FANUC, Universal Robots, and Yaskawa Motoman.
OnRobot R6 Flexible 2-Finger GRIPPERThese wide stroke grippers can be used to pick up a variety of shapes and sizes. The RG6 – 6kg payload robot arm gripper is a flexible collaborative gripper with built-in Quick Changer, up to 150mm stroke. It provides intelligence, fast deployment, easy customization and programming. Customized fingertips provide extensive gripping flexibility, customers can use one tool for different parts of the production process maximizing robot utilization.
SICK microScan3
SICK's extensive portfolio of safety solutions enables unimpaired and safe human intervention into the robot system and reduces downtime in production. This can be achieved with an adaptive perception of the environment with the aid of intelligent, rugged, and reliable sensors and safe systems. SICK's microScan3 safety laser scanners, each with 275° scanning angles for all-around surveillance, are used for access monitoring in the robot area.
The COVAL CVG series vacuum grippers offer a single solution for the handling of products in different industrial sectors. The adaptability and flexibility of the CVG series lend itself to many various robotics applications.
