PRODUCT SHOWCASE
Intelligent Automation Platform
ABB Robotics (Cary, NC) has launched
OmniCore™, an intelligent automation
platform that is faster, more precise, and
more sustainable. The OmniCore platform
is a step change to a modular and futureproof
control architecture that will enable
the full integration of AI, sensor, cloud and
edge computing systems to create advanced
and autonomous robotic applications.
Its motion performance delivers robot
path accuracy at a level of less than
0.6mm, with multiple robots running at
high speeds of up to 1,600 mm per second.
Brushless Hypoid Gear Motors
Smart Pattern Extension
Expanding Smart Pendant capability
for handling tasks, the Smart Pattern extension
from Yaskawa (Dayton, OH) enables
quick development of jobs for repetitive
handling
tasks.

Bodine
Electric Company (Peosta, IA)
new.abb.com/products/robotics
has introduced 12 new brushless DC hollow
shaft gearmotors with hypoid gearing.
These type 42B-25H2 and 42B-30H3
geared motors combine a new brushless
DC, 130 VDC motor with two hypoid gearheads.
When used with a brushless DC
speed control, these gear motors deliver hi
performance with high starting torque.
They are ideal for industrial automation
equipment that demands quiet operation,
and high-torque density. These are available
with gear ratios from 5:1 to 240:1, provide
up to 2,370 lb-in (268 Nm) of continuous
torque, and speeds of up to 400 rpm.

common tasks like stacking, unstacking,
case packing, machine loading, and unloading,
this intuitive interface provides
guided prompts for single part, grid (2D
array), 3D grid (3D array), and stack patterns.
Pattern jobs define a specific pattern
and robot movement for handling
each part in the pattern. Supervisor jobs
define the patterns
to be used to pick
and place parts, as
well as the overall
flow of the system,
including basic I/O
signals. It provides
the ability to combine
multiple pick
and place patterns
in a single job, pattern
layouts, and
customization.

Collective Automation Solution
Linear Motor Modules
Fast, compact and precise - these
properties characterize the new linear
motor
modules
from Bosch Rexroth
LexxPluss (Kawasaki, Japan) launched
the Lexx500 autonomous mobile robot,
the LexxTug towing interface, the LexxFleet
management system, and its IoT
LexxHub, which facilitates the collective
automation of existing systems with
Lexx500 AMRs for enhanced safety and
interoperability. Lexx500 robots can be
deployed from just a single unit and easily
increased to a multi-AMR fleet, providing
scalability. LexxHub is an IoT solution that
enables collective automation of existing
systems by allowing existing equipment to
connect to the network.

(Charlotte, NC). The axes are available in
sizes 140, 180 and 220 mm and feature a
zero-backlash direct drive. The linear motor
modules are available in all sizes with
iron-core linear motors. The sizes 180 and
220 are also available with an ironless
motor. This opens up a wide range of applications
with standard strokes of up to
1,540 mm and forces of up to 2,400 N. At
speeds of up to 5 m/s and with accelerations
of up to 250 m/s2, the LMMs achieve
repeatability of ± 1.0 µm.
Heavy Payload Robots
Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc.
(Vernon Hills, IL) has announced its newest
series of robots equipped with speed and
precision to meet the demands of today's
manufacturing applications. The newest
RV-35/50/80FR series of robots are designed
to allow for an expanded work envelope
and increased opportunity through
increased payload and reach compared to
prior series. The series has a maximum
reach of 2100 mm and a maximum payload
of 80 kg, making them great solutions
for palletizing as well as machine-tending
applications.
