…handling fragile products while maintaining industrial robot speed and precision, he said. Vicars added that because the gripper is able to better understand what it is holding, users don’t need to change out the tools as often on their robots. “That is dollars and cents to those gripping companies,” he said. “In a variable picking application, they can do this without a tool change.” Ras Labs recently added support for both pneumatic and electric grippers, and the company is getting feedback from customers at four trial sites and incorporating it back into the product. Vicars said he hopes to sell…

…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…
