Featured robots include the IRB 390 FlexPacker delta robot is designed for fast, high payload picking and packing in packaging applications. The unit features rapid changeover times that accompany the growth of low volume, high mix production to respond to the revolution of new consumer demands and to address the rising demand for Shelf Ready (SRP) and Retail Ready packaging (RRP).
CMES Robotics
Equal from CMES Robotics is a robotic system that is designed to overcome operational errors due to irregularities in box shape. Equal identifies and fixes these errors using 2D/3D vision technology, AI prediction technology, robotic operation, and 3D simulation technology provided by EQUAL.
FANUC America Corporation
FANUC offers a wide range of specialty industrial robots, computer numerical control (CNC) machines, and related robotics products. FANUC’s robot offering is vast, including articulated robots, delta robots, SCARA robots, collaborative robots (cobots) for industries ranging from electronics and food and beverage to medical and pharmaceutical. Robotics can be customized for diverse, specialty applications from material removal to assembly, dispensing and sealing, palletizing, part transfer, customized robots for pick and pack or pick and place, and much more.
igus
Igus manufactures lightweight gantry style, delta pick-and-place, robotic arms, as well as 7th Axis Robot Slide, a robot transfer unit (RTU) for cobots. Used in pick-and-place and material handling applications, lightweight robotic arms from igus includes robolink® arms available with either 4 or 5 axes, as well as 4 and 6 axis ReBeL (Robotic embedded-BDLC & electronics Link) cobots with service robot capabilities. All Igus robotic arms use lightweight, plastic robotic components that operate without any need for external lubricants which eliminates routine maintenance along with the chance of lubrication-based machine downtime. Drylin® gantry robots, also known as cartesian or linear robots, consist of two base X-axes, a Y-axis, and an optional Z-axis. Their self-lubricating plastic liners have been engineered to slide instead of roll and to run smoother and quieter than recirculating ball bearings. Typical applications include pick-and-place, sorting, labeling, measurement, inspection automation, and repetitive material handling. Igus also sells robotic joints, gearbox joints and other robotic components and accessories.
Kawasaki Robotics
Kawasaki Robotics USA is a supplier of a wide range of industrial articulated arm, collaborative, and delta robots used in palletizing, depalletizing, material handling, pick and place, case packing and other packaging and processing applications. Featured amongst Kawasaki’s product line of hundreds of robots is the RD080N, designed specifically for applications where a compact, high-speed, palletizing robot is required. Despite its slim space saving design, the RD080N can manipulate loads up to 80 kg and create pallet stacks over seven feet tall. The unique 5-axis design of the robot enables it to be floor or ceiling mounted.
