The Basics of Robot End-Effectors Webinar
ATI Sponsors Free RIA Webinar February 16th, 2012
ATI Industrial Automation is sponsoring the Robotic Industries Association (RIA) free webinar, "The Basics of Robot End-Effectors" on Thursday, February 16th from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm EST.
With video, narration and broad coverage by an experienced veteran, this webinar describes robot end-effectors such as parallel jaw, vacuum, and magnet based solutions. Solution approaches such as two or three position grasps and servo based designs give viewers options to consider. Force and torque sensing techniques are described. The webinar covers grip compliance, collision avoidance and breakaway options.

Schmalz Technology Development - The Right Gripper for Every Task
In order to interact with their environment and perform the tasks, lightweight robots, like all industrial robots, depend on tools - and in many cases these are vacuum grippers. These form the interface to the workpiece and are therefore a decisive part of the overall system. With their help, the robots can pick up, move, position, process, sort, stack and deposit a wide variety of goods and components. Vacuum gripping systems allow particularly gentle handling of workpieces, a compact and space-saving system design and gripping from above. Precisely because the object does not have to be gripped, the vacuum suction cupenables gapless positioning next to each other.
