MPS 1531 – Maximum safety for high-performance robotic applications

The MPS 1531 is a high-performance robotic tool changer for payloads up to 1,500 kg, designed for heavy-duty applications with the highest demands on stability, precision, and operational safety.

Thanks to its safety-oriented design, the MPS 1531 achieves Performance Level D, Category 3. Redundant and monitored functions ensure a high degree of reliability and enable dependable use in safety-critical automation processes.

The combination of high load capacity, robust locking technology, and integrated safety makes the MPS 1531 the ideal solution for demanding robotic applications where performance and protection are required without compromise.

Smart Config – Modular system for electrical and fluidic multi-connections

Smart Config is Stäubli’s solution designed to optimize quick electrical and fluid connections within automated industrial processes, particularly in assembly and testing applications.

The system allows for multiple connections to be made in a single step, reducing the risk of connection errors and significantly minimizing setup and changeover times. Thanks to its fully modular architecture, Smart Config easily adapts to various applications, supporting the evolution of production needs.

The accessible, maintenance-oriented layout helps reduce service times and machine downtime, while the ability to perform rapid configuration with immediate cost estimates accelerates the design and project launch phases.
