Robot-based solutions made easy: In the new Smart Series, Yaskawa combines some of its robots with preconfigured gripper solutions from different manufacturers.
The new Smart Series is a harmonised Plug&Play modular concept for robots and tools. Supplied are Pre-assembled packages with all the necessary accessories such as mechanical adapter flange mounting parts, electrical communication cables and sample jobs for quick commissioning, which are guaranteed to be coordinated and fit together in the sense of plug & play. This makes it easy to create robot solutions for collaborative or conventional applications together. The Smart Series currently includes vacuum grippers and gripper modules from technology partners OnRobot and Weiss Robotics. Other manufacturers such as Schmalz and Zimmer are set to follow shortly.
„With the Smart Series, users can not only choose the right solution for them, they also have the guarantee that it works safely and is easy to commission, programme and operate. This makes it easier for smaller companies in particular, without in-depth robot knowledge, to get started with automation concepts for greater productivity.“ Tasmin Schales, Product Manager
