PIAB "piCOBOT" collaborative robot hand

The "piCOBOT(R) L High Payload" has arrived, enabling the handling of heavier and larger workpieces. Based on the proven piCOBOT(R) L, known for its high reliability and ease of use, the portable weight has been significantly increased from the previous 16kg to 35kg. It accommodates heavier automation applications such as heavy items, large workpieces, and multi-picking without greatly altering the robot's footprint or operation. This expands the possibilities for automation with collaborative robots across a wider range of processes, including packaging, logistics, assembly, and machine tending. 【Features】 - Increased portable weight from 16kg to a maximum of 35kg - Supports heavy items, large workpieces, and multi-picking - Same footprint and control concept as the existing piCOBOT(R) L - New compatibility with ISO 9409 80 interface - Achieves stable grip and efficient operation with smart vacuum functionality - Easy replacement, inspection, and cleaning of COAX(R) cartridges - Compatible with various workpieces when combined with foam grippers

The compatibility with Polyscope X significantly enhances the performance of Universal Robots (UR), enabling a smooth transition to more efficient and flexible automation solutions. This new collaboration allows Piab's innovative product range to fully leverage the enhanced capabilities and performance of UR robots. ■ URCap for PolyScope X It enables seamless integration, allowing users to easily set up and test. By optimizing grippers to accommodate various tasks, productivity is improved, and setup time is reduced. The design focuses on smart skills and intuitive features, enabling operators to achieve precise vacuum control and efficient operation tailored to their needs. It supports a wide range of products, including piCOBOT, piCOBOT L, piCOBOT Electric, Cobot Palletizing Tool (CPT), and Kenos Collaborative Small (KCS).

The compact and lightweight, user-friendly designs of piCOBOT and piCOBOT L are now available in a fully compatible plug-in version for ABB GoFa. This integration allows users to benefit from the precision and efficiency of piCOBOT in handling tasks, along with the seamless compatibility with ABB's collaborative robots. The new product configuration for ABB GoFa includes a full package consisting of software plugins, mechanical interfaces, dedicated cables, and compressed air hoses. These components come together to ensure safe and efficient collaboration with collaborative robots for end users. Piab's solutions can be set up with a wide range of suction cups and accessories, enabling customized applications suitable for any situation. The piCOBOT and piCOBOT L plug-and-play kits for ABB GoFa are recommended packages certified by the ABB Robotics Ecosystem.

Fully electric, slim design, no air tubes or cable wiring required. The "piCOBOT(R) Electric" leads the piCOBOT(R) program to further success. ■ Release of limitations on the range of motion of collaborative robot arms The piCOBOT(R) Electric vacuum gripper unit does not require compressed air. The versatility of collaborative robots is significantly enhanced. Due to its lightweight design, it can be directly mounted on the flange of collaborative robot tools. Since vacuum piping is unnecessary, the range of motion of the arm is not restricted at all. ■ Electricity instead of compressed air With only one connection for both power supply and data flow, the entire installed unit can be quickly removed and easily relocated. To maximize the performance of both the vacuum gripper unit and the collaborative robot, it can be used with a serial communication protocol for UR e-series. The new electric vacuum gripper unit can be equipped with features such as PIAB's signature suction pads. https://www.piab.com/ja-jp/news/picobot-electric- Piab Japan Co., Ltd.
