Stable transport of complex surface-structured printed circuit boards! Achieving universal transport of printed circuit boards and ESD countermeasures with zero setup time!

The SCG-HSS is a vacuum-type hand designed to stably transport workpieces with complex surface shapes, such as uneven implementation boards. The suction surface features "alignment pins" arranged in a cylindrical manner, allowing it to flexibly conform to the surface of the workpiece. It can follow large unevenness that was difficult with conventional pads, enabling secure handling and transport of workpieces with more complex surfaces. The operation of the pins is pneumatic, making it easy to use without special setup. By simply fixing the pins to match the workpiece, it can be used like a dedicated hand, reducing the need for designing and manufacturing custom hands or the hassle of changing hands each time, thereby contributing to increased productivity. Additionally, it has an electrical resistance value suitable for ESD countermeasures, helping to prevent damage and defects in electronic components caused by ESD destruction. ◆ For more detailed information, please refer to the catalog.

Perfect for transporting a variety of small items in large quantities! A versatile robot hand that enables handling of diverse workpieces without the need for changing stages.

The general-purpose vacuum gripper FQE is a small robotic hand that uses sponge or suction pads on its gripping surface. It is very effective for handling workpieces with gaps, workpieces that are not positioned accurately, and bulk transport of various sizes of workpieces. Since one hand can accommodate various workpieces, it eliminates the need for designing and exchanging hands tailored to specific workpieces, contributing to time savings and increased productivity. Additionally, since the FQE complies with ISO/TS 15066, it can be utilized not only in automated transport processes with industrial robots but also in collaborative work with humans using collaborative robots. The configuration of the vacuum gripper allows for the selection of suitable specifications based on individual applications, including the presence or absence of a vacuum generator, the type of gripping surface, three types of gripper sizes, and valve types.

A touring system that achieves high precision design and easy assembly!

SXT is a touring system consisting of approximately 150 types of parts. By combining holders for pipes, clamps, and vacuum pads, you can design the hand freely. As a highly expandable modular system, it allows for the creation of optimal shapes tailored to specific applications. Since it consists of simple parts, assembly and modification are also easy. Managing parts individually enables space-saving storage and maintenance of spare parts. The parts are made from lightweight and highly durable 6000 series aluminum, allowing for weight reduction of the hand. This reduces the load on the robot, achieving high-speed and stable transport, contributing to increased takt time.

• Vacuum Equipment

High durability and high conformability bellows pads that enable high-speed transport of oil film steel plates!

The suction pad SAXB is the latest model of the "SA series," which has over 20 years of proven performance for pads designed for oil-coated steel plates. The SA series demonstrates high holding power against steel plates with an oil film by designing grooves on the suction surface to allow oil to escape, contributing to reduced cycle times. The new product "SAXB" features a bellows shape, enhancing its adaptability to the uneven shapes of body parts and other components. Additionally, the presence of the bellows helps to cushion impacts during suction, reducing the load on the workpiece. The pad is made from Elasto-Dur, which excels in wear resistance and flexibility.

• Vacuum Equipment

Compatible with perforated metal plates! A magnetic transport solution that excels in situations where vacuum cannot be used!

The Schmalz magnetic gripper 'SGM' series is equipped with permanent magnets, making it suitable for transporting thin steel plates with holes and complex-shaped parts. Additionally, since air consumption occurs only during function switching, it allows for energy-efficient transport compared to the use of electromagnets or vacuum pads. In addition to the standard type SGM, there are enhanced holding force types (SGM-HP), high holding force and high-temperature resistant types (SGM-HT-HP), and a variety of options including high holding force and anti-double-picking types (SGM-HPm) available in the lineup. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

The organoid technology is gaining prominence in drug discovery research. We will hold a Japanese webinar where you can learn about the automation of culture through AI image analysis and the reduction of drug discovery risks through the utilization of multimodal data, all in one session. We will introduce technologies that quantify organoid culture using AI image analysis, enabling autonomous passaging decisions, as well as the latest examples of data utilization that integrate multi-omics data from patient-derived organoids (PDOs) to predict drug responses with high accuracy, thereby reducing drug discovery risks. These advancements are expected to enhance research reproducibility and promote precision medicine. A Q&A session is also planned after the presentations. Presentation 1: Automation of organoid culture through quantification of culture conditions and autonomous passaging decisions using AI image analysis Koji Utagawa, Application Scientist, Molecular Devices Japan, Ph.D. in Science Presentation 2: Risk reduction in cancer drug projects using molecular and multi-omics data from organoids Toshiya Kondo, Scientific Business Consultant, Genedata AG, M.D.

[Instructor] Shunsuke Suzuki, President and CEO, Management Techniques Co., Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] In a rapidly changing business environment, we are compelled to collaborate with people from various backgrounds every day and to push our proposals and ideas through amidst the intersection of diverse opinions and values. However, for some reason, good ideas are often not understood or accepted. Why is that? To implement new initiatives within an organization, it is necessary to overcome multiple barriers and unify stakeholders with differing opinions and values. In this seminar, we will explain a "management theory" that has not been commonly addressed, based on various perspectives such as organizational theory, psychology, communication theory, and political economy. We will cover communication techniques that promote changes in people's behaviors and attitudes, storytelling that generates empathy, and the building of trust relationships, all aimed at achieving transformation within organizations. This will be beneficial not only for proposals within organizations but also for improving interpersonal skills in a wide range of situations, including BtoB sales negotiations and the building of everyday human relationships.
