North America’s biggest automation showcase, Automate, returns to Detroit’s Huntington Place on May 12-15. At Booth 2232, Stäubli Robotics will exhibit advanced robots engineered to bring new levels of efficiency to industrial applications.
Unique solutions for automotive and general industry
Stäubli Robotics has been at the forefront of industrial automation for decades. In collaboration with OEMs, system integrators, and customers in numerous industries worldwide, it has developed solutions for evolving needs, resulting in a strong record of innovation. The flexibility of its robots will be on full display at Automate Booth 2232 with exhibits and demos showing how they make work easy and safe – and offer innovative approaches to optimize production processes.
Stäubli will also feature a versatile TS2-60 robot in a hairpin electric motor assembly application in which the robot picks copper hairpins from a queuing rack and places them precisely into the correct slots of a stator, indexing one slot at a time. The process shows how robotic automation improves accuracy and cycle times in the production of critical motor components.
Mobile robotics: Stäubli is a leader in high-payload mobile robots with a full portfolio of platforms, forklifts, and autonomous mobile robots known for high-precision omnidirectional positioning and ability to carry payloads of up to 500 tons. Automate attendees will have the opportunity to see Stäubli’s PF3 OMNI, a mobile robot platform with a 3-ton payload.
This year Stäubli Robotics will offer an “innovation station,” where attendees can consult with technical experts, underscoring the total lifecycle support that Stäubli provides.
Deriving maximum value through next-level service
Stäubli offers a wide variety of services and products aimed at ensuring customers derive the greatest value from their robots and keep downtime to a minimum. Attendees will experience Stäubli’s newest digital solution for smart factories, a powerful hardware platform for managing robot fleets. With connectivity for up to 50 robots, it enables remote monitoring, fault identification, data visualization, and performance optimization.
Stäubli also aims to demonstrate how easy its robots are to use and integrate. Operators do not need programming expertise, and visitors will experience this at an interactive training cell, where they can try out the user-friendly new SP2 plus robotic teach pendant, direct a TX2-60 robot through a pick-and-place process, fine-tune settings for performance and load, and even build a basic application using the VALBlocks software tool.
Life sciences: Flexible solutions for strict regulations
Stäubli Robotics has distinguished itself in the life sciences sector with hygienic robots designed to ensure safety and compliance in highly regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals and medical devices. At Automate, Stäubli will show how an ultra-precise Stäubli TX2-60 Stericlean robot works with a vision-guided flex feeder from VTR Feeder Solutions. The robot will use the vision system to meticulously pick and place medical device components.
Robotic tool changers from Stäubli Fluid Connectors
Stäubli Robotics will be joined at Automate by Stäubli Fluid Connectors (FCS), a leading manufacturer of quick connector systems for fluids, gases, and electrical power. The division also produces robotic tool changers and will host a demo cell featuring its new MPS line of robotic tool changers and end-of-arm tooling solutions for material handling. Highlighting its extensive technology portfolio, the demo will feature electrical modules such as DuraDock Vision for inspection and scanning, DuraDock Ultra for ultrasonic technology, and DuraDock Servo for servoelectric drives.
