Self-contained robot cell delivers entry route for first-timers
31 May 2017
Loop Technology has developed an entry-level solution to industrial robotics borne from the realisation of a recent project for the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC).

Coventry-based, the MTC asked member company Loop Technology, a long-term supplier, to design a self-contained robot cell capable of providing a flexible development and demonstration platform with capability for future expansion.
Loop Technology created a cell in a modular format allowing rapid integration with a range of robots including the KUKA KR AGILUS and the KUKA LBR IIWA.
The 2 x 2m self-contained ready-to-run format, has removed the barriers of entry into industrial robotics, which has proved popular,. Orders are already in place for similar cells.
Loop’s project manager, Peter Eyre said: “I’m sure this cell will be very popular with organisations breaking into the sector for the first time, as well as more established robotic operators looking to improve the efficiency of their development processes.”
