Modular design gives over 500 robot configurations
The BA series ROIbot uses a modular building block design, allowing single or dual axis configurations to be built from the same standard components.
Robots offer long arm and decent payload capacity
The SR-HZ series of Palletising Robots from TM Robotics, the exclusive European partner to Toshiba Machine, feature an impressive payload of 50 or 70 kg.
"UK manufacturing is in the trough of the biggest manufacturing slump for twenty years.
The packaging sector is beginning to show signs that it is bucking that trend", said Nigel Smith, managing director of TM Robotics.
"However, if it is to truly ride out the recession, it must begin to embrace new technologies.
Manual lines have to embrace robotics.
Lines using multiple axis robots must address the cost savings that can be found by adopting SCARA or Cartesian systems".
TM Robotics' TH-250 offers the fast cycle times ideally suited to the packaging sector.
Benefits include conveyor synchronisation capacity and a multi-tasking ability, to facilitate smooth connectivity to vision systems.
It features absolute encoders as standard, dispensing with the need for a home return function.
Handling payloads of up to 3kg, with repeatability of +/-0.01mm, the TH-250 has an arm length of 250mm, and includes a built in PLC to control I/O equipment, regardless of robot operation and program.
Ideal for use with the SCARA robot, the TS1000 provides enhanced monitoring and complete system control of the robotic cell, also featuring a PLC to simplify and increase the speed of data transfer. Request a free brochure from TM Robotics (Europe) ...
