…calibration and evolved motion algorithms provide “best-in-class repeatability and precision,” said the company. In addition, the N-220 comes fitted with integrated forklift adapters and optional high-torque washers for automatic anchoring base fixing, easier relocation, and faster installation. A wide reach and modular motors A nitrogen-balancing system on the second axis and larger stroke ends on the third axis give the N-220 increased agility and a wide backward working area for bending and handling applications, Comau said. The N-220 uses only two motor sizes and a single oil type, making it easier to replace a faulty motor. In addition, a 50%…

…strength, moved at the correct speed, and placed with precision. In-process bar-code scanning—A five-sided barcode scanning system captures barcodes on each grasped item while the robotic arm is in motion, maximizing throughput by reducing the need to reorientate parcels. In-slot detection—Optimal placement is detected on the sorter using vision systems to monitor both upstream and downstream. The workcell will evaluate whether the item should be placed in a single or double tray, select the next available space, and verify placement accuracy, notifying the scan tunnel of any defects. Numerous INDUCT workcells can perform collaboratively along the same fulfillment line for…

…autonomous and integrates with customer's workflows, OTTO Motors claimed. Precision: OTTO Lifter can determine if a pallet is properly seated, if it is centered or skewed, and whether stretch wrap is covering entry notches. The robot can also match its speed to the environment, speeding up when safe to do so and slowing down accordingly. Safety: Advanced safety sensors, paired with OTTO Motors’ autonomous driving capabilities, can reduce the risk of workplace safety incidents, said the company. Setup: “OTTO Lifter is easy to install and is up and running from Day 1,” said OTTO Motors. Maintenance: The company touted its…

…without losing accuracy (approx ±1 cm / ±1°). The precision of scan matching’s vehicle localization is comparable to the cell size of its reference map. To reduce file size, vehicles using scan matching often downgrade their maps, creating cell sizes between three and ten centimeters. This is not a limitation faced by ANT® driven vehicles as the reference map, containing only permanent features, is a smaller file size and does not need to be downgraded. Additionally, because scan matching registers the entire environment – looking for matches – it also captures dynamic objects, which can move. For example, pallets may…
