ABOUT ROBOTIQ

Robotiq writers blog about what drives us as a company and what we consider as the new way of thinking about industrial manufacturing, automation and robotics. This includes the latest in industrial robotic trends and breakthroughs, flexible industrial automation, and high-mix, low- volume manufacturing.

OUR ROBOT GRIPPERs

Robotiq’s servo grippers are designed to handle a wide variety of parts with a single gripper and thus avoids using custom tooling and tool changing systems.


2-FINGER ROBOT GRIPPER - 85

A compact and flexible electric gripper to pick all your parts, eliminate changeovers and reduce custom development time and cost.

Parallel Robot Gripper


3-FINGER ROBOT GRIPPER 

A robot gripper with hand-like capabilities designed for industrial automation.

After product development reaches its final stage, then begins one of the most exciting and rewarding stages, benchmarking. Testing the performance and toughness of servo gripper is crucial to ensure we meet the required specs and provide the highest degree of reliability required for industrial automation.

How to Coordinate Multiple Axis Movements for a Robotic Welder

When writing with a pencil, you hold the tool at a specific angle of approach to the paper, but can you figure out at which axis, angle, and plane, the pencil is actually being held? The change in approach angle when writing with a pencil is similar to coordinating multiple axis movements for a robotic welding torch. It is always more intuitive to hold the tool than to mathematically note its position in free space.

How to Achieve Good Part-Fit for Robotic Welding

  
  
  
robotic welding arms

Robotic welding is most useful when parts can be positioned in the same place, and with the same fit, every time a part feeder reloads the system. However, robotic welders are not always as successful in terms of quality control if the weld joints vary in size, present gaps, or vary in dimensions. The following recommendations on part fit can enable robotic welders to achieve higher quality yield:

It is no longer a secret: automation processes are no longer reserved for big companies doing highly repetitive tasks. Automation is now also moving to the world of the SME, in domains such as stamping, metal fabrication, machining, assembling and all kinds of processes to provide good quality parts to the major players. But being a SME in this situation means:
