Alternative PROFINET I/Os

Sensors in this category can use light to detect or count objects contactlessly, measure distances and detect light, color, gloss or luminescence. Photoelectronic sensors are not only characterized by their functionality, but also by their space-saving design. The additional connection of special fiber-optic cables permits their use in extreme conditions such as cold, hot or tight spaces. The broad portfolio of photoelectronic sensors is divided into 15 product categories to meet the requirements of a wide range of applications. Each category offers a variety of solutions to ensure the right sensor size is available for each specific application. The designs include cubic, metric and hybrid shapes in plastic, aluminum or stainless steel housings. The optical sensors operate reliably in a temperature range of –50 to +250 °C and offer a detection range of 0 to 100,000 mm.

Piab’s BLFF is a high-performance family of suction cups designed for warehouse automation, e-commerce, logistics, and industrial handling processes. The soft, adaptable lip reliably seals against bags, cardboard, porous materials, and irregular or deformable objects. At the same time, the sturdy bellows design provides sufficient strength for heavy boxes, flat crates, and dynamic robot movements. This allows a wide variety of products to be handled with the same gripping solution, reduces product changeovers, and makes picking processes more efficient. The BLFF is available in Ø 42 and Ø 55 mm, as well as in medium and hard hardness grades. Recyclable TPE, removable metal fasteners, and a robust, abrasion-resistant construction facilitate maintenance, replacement, and recycling. The suction cup is suitable for centralized and decentralized vacuum systems as well as for single and multiple grippers. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

The Pick-and-Place Robot PPR is a compact assembly automation system for the fast and precise handling of sensitive components, for example in electronics manufacturing. It combines basic motion axes with integrated sensors such as force measurement, pneumatics and control technology to ensure safe pick-up and placement of delicate workpieces. The patent-pending PPR captures and analyses process and sensor data in real time, optimising cycle times and placement forces. This results in stable, highly dynamic processes with minimal development effort. - Reduced workpiece damage, shorter cycle times, integrated process control - PPR as an all-in-one model with integrated drive, sensors, pneumatics and control module - THK's sensor technology detects even the smallest forces as soon as the workpiece comes into contact with the suction nozzle: a highly precise force sensor measures minimal contact forces during placement (resolution down to 0.01 N) - A force resolution of up to 0.01 N enables throughput rates of up to 9,000 workpieces per hour per module

This Delta robot has a handling capacity up to 1kg and a reach of 280mm in diameter makes the M-1 series, ideal for all applications to handle low payloads. M-1 Series, the solution for: Small parts handling Small parts picking and packaging Assembly of electronic and mechanical devices Machine load/unload operations

Fully electric vacuum generation; no compressed air infrastructure required. Its light weight and compact dimensions allow it to be mounted directly onto the cobot’s tool flange. Maximised energy efficiency across all components and functions. The power supply from the cobot arm is sufficient to drive the gripper unit. The elimination of air hoses simplifies installation and allows for completely unrestricted movement of the cobot arm. Plug & play software and interface available for UR e-series and Fanuc CRX. Compatible with piCOBOT® programming accessories – such as tool changers, docking stations and gripper tools. Generic electrical interfaces with multiple mounting options are available to suit any other cobot or small industrial robot.

piPREMIUM 600-1600 is a line extension of the previous piPREMIUM family which has been available in size 100-400. The target for the extension is the food and pharma industries who need higher capacity.

Processes result in defined routes in which media are transported at the right speed and in the right quantity. Sensitive media such as foodstuffs or media with high pressures require professional and sometimes legally required testing of the production and installation. Our pipeline engineers will install new pipelines for you elegantly and in accordance with standards, if necessary combined with testing and acceptance. If necessary, old pipes that are no longer required are dismantled and disposed of. We ensure that your medium arrives at the desired destination. Pipes in stainless steel or steel, welded or pressed - we reliably lay them. We are the right contact for a wide range of adaptations or new installations in steel or stainless steel.

Cost-effective motion control with high torque and low vibration.

The new PLANET product family sets new standards for single- and three-phase DIN rail power supplies. PULS has significantly improved key parameters: efficiency, compactness and lifetime have each increased by around 27% compared to the established QS and QT series. This saves both space and cost. Model-dependent features such as dynamic BonusPower, active load sharing, an optimised voltage selector, redesigned push-in terminals, and an LED load indicator simplify installation and ensure smooth operation.

Highly precise and efficient solutions with a backlash of up to <=1 arcmin
