Universal robots

The latest Universal Robot six-jointed arms retain the ease-of-use and quick return on investment benefits of previous generations and their appearance and payload of 5/10kg remains unchanged. However, the new design includes a patented safety system that enhances the robot's use for tasks that require human interaction.  

The inclusion of true absolute encoders in the design allows faster start-up of the robot arm. Integration with other systems is said to be easier too. Additional I/O ports are easy to configure either as digital signals or safety signals. The result is a versatile product suitable for a wide range of markets, from unloading CNC machines at a small subcontractor to performing an automatic gluing process for an automotive manufacturer.

R. A. Rodriguez will also be promoting the benefits of its new on-line gear shop at the show, and a representative selection from the company’s thin section and turntable bearings, drives and linear motion ranges will complete the stand display.Stand Q37
