From mains power to motion control in three steps
Stepper Systems just can't get any simpler now, according to Micromech, as the motion and control specialists have introduced socket to stepping with only three components
This is due to its cleverly designed overhung arm which gives it the ability to work through 360 degrees and perform up to 730 standard cycles per hour for 24 hours a day.
The hollow wrist mechanism protects its electrical and pneumatic services from chafing or twisting.
It can handle pallets of 1600mm square by 2100mm high or 1300mm square by 2450mm high.
This makes it the ideal robot for "complete layer" lifting of cases of bottles and foodstuffs as well as items such as wooden panels, steel bales or vehicle floor-pans.
The M-410iWW incorporates easy to use software so that the operator can optimise palletising patterns based on pallet and box sizes.
The simple graphical user interface allows the operator to review stacking options without any specialised programming knowledge.
As system partners Micromech Robotics and Fanuc can specify, build and install the right equipment that is simple to program and operate.
Perhaps a manufacturer is wrestling with a problem where they need a robot that combines the strength of a Sumo with the agility of a ballet dancer, if so the M- 410iWW is the answer.
