Comau introduces new robot for ‘sensitive’ environments

July 16, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Comau has introduced its new Racer-5 Sensitive Environments (Racer-5 SE), a high-speed industrial robot designed for the special and sensitive settings that characterize the pharmaceutical, health and beauty, food and beverage and electronics industries.

Featuring a protective water, heat and grease-resistant coating, the ruggedized 6-axis articulated robot fully responds to the demand for IP67 certification, high-grade ISO 5 Cleanroom classification (ISO 14644-1), protection from chemical agents and the need to reduce the risk of contamination. It also has NSF H1 food grade lubrication.

Further benefits of the dedicated robot include reduced operator risk when working with potentially harmful chemicals and substances, as well as increased productivity, traceability, and quality. [Read more…] about Comau introduces new robot for ‘sensitive’ environments

Webinar: What is required of AMRs in order to meet current warehouse challenges?
Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_iqbdQe7lQyKYEW3lINmoLQ

Intralogistics and warehouses are facing huge demand pressures and are turning to automation.

For most operators, the most feasible approach is to introduce AMRs that work alongside humans in dynamic environments.

This type of implementation presents challenges that are different from the ones faced by previous generations of AGVs and automation equipment. [Read more…] about Webinar: What is required of AMRs in order to meet current warehouse challenges?
