Wyzo sidebot combines with Piab’s ‘extremely lightweight’ mini gripper

May 30, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Handling food or other small, lightweight products quickly and easily with human-machine interaction – that’s exactly what the Wyzo sidebot is designed to do.

With a maximum payload of one kilogram, the weight of the gripper is critical. So, what could be a better fit than Piab’s featherweight, the MCG, at just 270 grams, which also has “versatility and outstanding energy efficiency”.

Process automation continues to advance in the food, packaging, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and electronics industries. People in these sectors often work side by side with machines. [Read more…] about Wyzo sidebot combines with Piab’s ‘extremely lightweight’ mini gripper

Why Technology Has Been So Important In The Past Year

January 28, 2021 by Polly Leave a Comment

The past 12 months or so have been completely unprecedented. Life as we know it was flipped completely upside down, all around the world. Not a single life hasn’t been touched by what has happened and it has been something that none of us has ever seen, or are likely to ever see again.

One thing that we can all agree on, no matter where we are reading this from, is that technology has been one of the most important things in our lives while everything has been going on.

Not only has it enabled schools to keep teaching and businesses to keep trading, but it has also meant that we have been able to keep in touch with our loved ones when we have needed them most. [Read more…] about Why Technology Has Been So Important In The Past Year

Waypoint launches Kingpin lift and hitch top module for its warehouse robots

June 5, 2020 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Waypoint Robotics has launched a top module that enables the company’s omnidirectional warehouse robots to automatically load and unload payloads and connect to a variety of carts for material movement.

The module is called “Kingpin” and Waypoint says it enables its Vector robot – a 600 lb payload capacity AMR – to do two critical jobs with one simple top module, as opposed to having a dedicated fleet of lift deck robots for automatic load/unload, and another dedicated fleet of cart connecting robots for cart transport.

With Kingpin, Vector can automatically pick up a tote on one side of the factory, deliver it to the other side of the factory, and then connect to a cart on the way back to the starting point. [Read more…] about Waypoint launches Kingpin lift and hitch top module for its warehouse robots
