ROBOTIZE: GoPal, Automated Pallet Transport The GoPal is an Autonomous Transport Robot that uses natural navigation to find its way within the facility. This self driven robot is made for transporting pallets between designated GoPal Pallet Stations. The robot uses lasers and 3D cameras to “see” its surroundings and find out where it is. The lasers are also used to prevent collisions with objects and people, and can “see” more than 10 meters round the robot. The GoPal needs less space to operate than an employee with a pallet jack and can turn on its own axis. This alone makes

For over 30 years, our team of engineers has been successfully designing and implementing solutions for companies using CNC machines. Specializing in automation, drives, motion control, machine vision, machine safety and robots, we can help customize solutions that fit your requirements. Optimize Production and Increase Quality Increase throughput while reducing mistakes and the risk of injury for human operators by deploying Universal Robots collaborative robot (cobot) to tend CNC Machines. Safe to work side by side with humans, the cobot frees operators from repetitive, tedious motions. With 17 adjustable safety features, the UR complies with ISO safety standards. Simple pick

ABSOLUTE VS INCREMENTAL ROTARY ENCODERS Incremental or Absolute? Positioning tasks require precise position values to monitor or control motion activity. In many applications position sensing is done using rotary encoders, also called shaft encoders or simply encoders. These sensors transform a mechanical angular position of a shaft or axle into an electronic signal that can be processed by a control system. Absolute Rotary Encoders:Absolute rotary encoders are capable of providing unique position values from the moment they are switched on. This is accomplished by scanning the position of a coded element. All positions in these systems correspond to a unique

Euchner has expanded the field applications for CTP transponder-coded safety switches. Even safety guards requiring locking forces as high as 3,900 N can be reliably secured in combination with a new actuator. The new actuator is compatible with all existing CTP variants and can be used without design adaptations at any time. The unique transponder integrated into the actuator maximizes protection against tampering. CTP series safety switches offer the user the greatest possible versatility. The safety switch is available in various versions to suit the requirements at the place to be secured, e.g. versions for connection to the AS-Interface, for
