Advertorials ABB introduces YuMi® to the UK market Collaborative dual-arm robot will be used in small parts assembly to help increase UK productivity
ABB has launched YuMi, a collaborative dual-arm robot, to the UK market. Aimed initially at the 3C (Computer, Communication and Consumer electronics), YuMi has no barriers, cages or zones. The collaborative robot is able to assist in small parts assembly tasks whilst employees can either work with YuMi or apply their production skills to another part of the process.
Primarily developed to handle the small components typical of 3C, YuMi has integrated hands comprised of 2-finger grippers, vacuum options and embedded cameras. As its capabilities become more widely recognised, the robot will open up more opportunities in other industrial sectors.

CombiTac connector system from Multi-Contact
adds 10 Gbit Ethernet module Multi-Contact's modular CombiTac connector system is now available with a 10 Gbit Ethernet module, enabling it to connect Cat6a cabling via its RJ45 sockets. Supplied fully assembled, the rugged module can provide high speed data communications in harsh industrial environments.
Providing 100 000 mating cycles under the most demanding mechanical and environmental conditions, the space saving connector can be used in applications such as factory automation, machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and real time data sharing.
The new module is also suitable for rail applications, as it meets the EN45545-1 standard on fire resistance for railway vehicles. In addition, it is vibration resistant to IEC 60512-6-4 and satisfies UL 1977
requirements up to 30 Vrms. Operating temperatures range from -40degC to +90degC.
CombiTac connectors can be fitted with any combination of high voltage, high current, data, fibre optic, power, thermocouple and coaxial contacts, and even pneumatic and fluid connectors.
The connectors achieve their long term reliability due to the use of MULTILAM technology, a proprietary contact system that uses multiple torsion spring contact elements that allow electrical contact to be made via a large number of contact points. This arrangement substantially reduces contact resistance and ensures strong resistance to shock and vibration.
An interactive configuration tool on a dedicated CombiTac web site (
www.combitac.com) enables engineers to build modular assemblies online, explore the final product, review assembly dimensions and request a quotation.

SAB Bröckskes GmbH & Co. KG - Innovative control cable for paint robots
The cable is designed for use in robots particularly in drag chains for axis 7 and distinguishes itself by a high resistance against different chemicals or solvents commonly used in robotic painting applications.
SAB Bröckskes, the leading manufacturer of special cables, brings a new control cable for robot drag chain applications to the market, engineered for use in paint robots, axis 7.
In a paint shop (painting line in the automotive industry) cables get in contact with highly aggressive chemicals like coatings, solvents and lubricants. According to the manufacturer the new cable has two unique features of great importance. One of which is the robustness for drag chain applications and the other is the resistance against the specific environmental conditions associated with robotic painting applications.
Special construction
The insulation and sheath compounds are especially engineered for flame and chemical resistance. The robust construction of the cable is essential for continuous flex use in drag chains.
The latest development for robot technology of SAB Bröckskes fulfills the demanding flame test FT4 for the North American market.
Special characteristics of the cable: flame retardant and self-extinguishing vertical flame test FT 4 oil and chemical resistance
maximum durability under high mechanical stress permanent flexibility

WinsPu TP2SX 2 Thermal Printer Mechanism
We are pleased to introduce the 2 thermal printer mechanism series TP2XS from our newest partner WinsPu Technology Co. Ltd of Xiamen, China. The TP2SX is a highly durable, ergonomically designed compact, lightweight mechanism with a centred paper path allowing for a uniform and aesthetically pleasing housing design. The mechanism offers easy paper loading for fast paper roll replacement and is very quiet when printing and paper feeding.
The printer has three standard options
defined by print speed and input voltages although there are several different specification options available across the whole series. The slowest versions (ATPSMN1RX) print speed is 75mm/sec which is ideally suited to portable battery powered applications due to the low voltage requirement of 2.7~3.6V for both the head and motor, the fastest print speed version (ATPS2MP4RX) achieves an impressive 150mm/sec with voltage requirements of 12~14V again for both the thermal head and motor. The 105mm/sec print speed version ATPS2SSP6RX model is compatible with the Seiko Instruments LTP01-245 and offers a low cost reliable alternative to the Seiko part. The TP2SX range is also compatible with Fujitsu’s FTP-628MCL101 and the APS FM205-HS thermal printer mechanisms.
