Automated Safety Door
Gortite VF Automated Machine Safety Door was designed for safe machine access and maximizing production time in automated manufacturing. The high-speed door responds to the need for rapid machine guarding doors to keep hazardous processes like robotic welding separate from people, equipment, and materials. The VF Door was designed to support three-week lead times, one-hour fi eld installation, multiple T-slot mounting surfaces, and long- life noncontact sensors. It comes standard with proximity switches that sense the end-travel for the door. The door

The YuMi dual-arm collaborative robot will be on display at AUTOMATE, from April 3-6, 2017, at Chicago’s McCormick Place. YuMI is designed to work very closely with people in a wide variety of small parts assembly and handling applications. It can do so due to its inherently safe design, and has a lightweight yet rigid magnesium skeleton covered with a fl oating plastic casing wrapped in soft padding to absorb impacts. If YuMi senses an unexpected impact, such as a collision with a coworker, it can pause its motion within milliseconds. The motion can be restarted as easily as pressing play on a remote control. Primary features include: Multifunctional hands with built-in camera, integrated Vision software for quick setup and programming, and state-of-the- art precise motion control.

Bi-Directional Inductive Coupling IO-Link enabled Inductive Coupling product family is expand- ing to include bi-directional IO-Link communication. This solution enables transfer of power and data over a small air gap—making the coupling well suited for the industrial space, where getting I/O in hard to reach places or to moving components is a challenge. The IO-Link inductive coupler, with its small compact IP67 housing (40 × 40 × 70 mm), is the industry’s fi rst compact inductive coupler to offer 32 bytes of bi-directional data transfer over a standard 4-pole M12 sensor cable. It’s also rated for 500mA at a 5-mm gap with 24V power. Balluff

Dual-Arm, Single-Axis SCARA Cobot The duAro provides the fl exibility needed to be applied to pro- duction lines with a short product cycle and frequent changeovers, and it can safely collaborate with humans in work operations. It is the fi rst dual-arm SCARA robot to operate on a single axis. It has a payload capacity of 2 kg per arm. The single-axis confi guration enables the robot to perform coordinated and independent arm movements, making it ideal for applications such as material han- dling, assembly, machine tending and dispens- ing. Designed to be installed in a single-person space, the robot can be deployed without modifi cations to the assembly or manufacturing line. Kawasaki Robotics (USA) Inc. Ph: 248-446-4100 Web site:
