Types of Robotic Tools and What They Do

The fact is technology is advancing whether we’re ready or not and with it, comes a lot of changes for every industry. For instance, the global logistics industry is projected to grow in automation by up to 90 billion by 2026. There are various ways that you can implement robotics systems in your business. Moreover, there are many benefits that you should gain with automation as part of your strategy. It can save you money while improving your productivity. With our wide range of products, you can meet your goals and change your business model for the better. If you want to find out how and which products to choose from, read on. CiRo Tools You’d be surprised to find that your robot arms can be prone to limited movement. The thing is when you work in an industry that requires the use of robots to complete some complex tasks you should understand robotics control. The cable and hose management can cause a few technical difficulties. In addition, it can affect the productivity of your robots. However, the demand for seamless production remains high no matter the challenge. You no longer have to worry about the flexibility and performance of your robot’s internal cabling. CiRo is the cost-effective solution that you need to ensure seamless production. Benefits of the CiRo Tools Enables offline programming Cables and hoses can be selected separately to suit any application Extended hose package lifetime Up to ± 250° rotation Quick and easy installation High reliability Payload ranges from 5 - 100kg Without CiRo Robot Without CiRo With CiRo Robot With CiRo Tool Changers If you’re looking for automatic tool changers that you can use for any type of robot, then look no further. Our tool Changers have a load capacity not exceeding 1,250 kg. Moreover, they come with a powerful design that has been rigorously tested to ensure continuous changing Operations. As a result, we need to maintain reliable and safe tool changers. Our wide range of models offers you various energy supply sources. For instance, you can use electrical signals, servo power or welding. Additionally, compressed air, data and water can be easily transferred from your robot to your tool. Benefits of the Tool Changers Absolute positioning repeatability Low maintenance and high uptime Fast locking < 0.3s Robust design for high torque applications Patented locking mechanism 3D-Models for Robot CAD-Systems Swivel Tool Changers Think of the innovative combination of your regular swivel and your tool changer. Our swivel tool changer offers you a unique way to connect directly to the tool plate of your robot. This gives you the best of both worlds. These can also be supplied by different power sources the same way as our standard tool changers. The great thing about our swivel tool changers is that they offer flexibility even in tight spaces. Benefits of the Swivel Tool Changers Compact Design Allows continuous rotation of axis 6 Increases mobility Maximises the hose package lifetime Reduces hose package interference 3D simulation control of the upper arm dress package With Swivel Tool Changer With Swivel Tool Changer Without Swivel Tool Changer Without Swivel Tool Changer Swivels Did you know that wear of your hose package is a common problem? Different reasons cause this. For example, fitting an incorrect application or increased temperature exposure. This is why our swivel units are Ideal for your production. Not only do they allow your axis 6 flexibility, but they also ensure minimal wear on your hose package. This benefits your production by increasing run and up-times. You can also use the swivel units on axis 4 and 5 hose packages for unlimited rotation. This continuous rotation allows your robot to handle various functions simultaneously. Benefits of the Swivel Tools Integration with axis 4 and 5 Provides non-stop rotation of axis 6 Minimises hose package wear Improves robotics movement The upper aim dress package can be controlled by a 3D Simulation Up to a 350kg payload Valve Units Directing and controlling the flow of your air, electricity or fluids during production can be a challenging process. However, with our improved valve units, you can rest assured that you maintain adequate control at all times. You can combine them into a single sizable unit to control the end arm of your tools. And they can be used with our tool changers to improve the air supply of your tooling systems. Benefits of the Valve Units Plug and Play modules Reduced installation time Designed for robot mounts Standard (ISO) valve interface Integrated electrical connection box Optional tool changing function Optional fieldbus interface Optional vacuum module Hose Packages When you use industrial robots often, you should ensure that you have adequate cable routing. Hose package equipment is standard in any robotics system. If you want your robots to flow smoothly and deliver tasks efficiently, you should consider getting our hose packages. Not only do they provide you with everything that you need to improve productivity, but they can follow the fast movement of any robot that you use. At RPS, we pride ourselves on the design of our hose packages. They are made from technology that provides them with an extended lifespan. Benefits of the Hose Packages Quick and easy installation Proven technology Modular design Bundles and protects hoses and cables Reduces downtime Large variety to choose from
