FABTECH 2019: Robotics and Industrial Automation

September 5, 2019 Products

Here are some of the robotics and automation that will be exhibited to help you navigate the show floor and manage your time while you’re there.

Booth A-1400: The VG10 Gripper is a dual-zone electrical vacuum gripper that can vacuum grips a variety of object in many different sizes without the need for external air supply. The RG2 and VG10 both come with a single mounting bracket and work on robots by Universal Robots, KUKA, Kawasaki, FANUC, Techman, Doosan, NACHI and Yaskawa.

FABTECH 2019 is North America’s largest collaboration of technology, equipment and knowledge in the metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing industry. This event takes place November 11-14 at the McCormick Place in Chicago, where more than 1,700 exhibitors and 48,000 attendees will have full access to special events, presentations, educational sessions and live demonstrations of the latest technology and integrated solutions, along with one-on-one exchanges with exhibitors and networking with industry leaders. There will also be opportunities to attend keynote presentations, discussions on key industry issues that influence manufacturing, and more. Here are some of the robotics and automation that will be exhibited to help you navigate the show floor and manage your time while you’re there:

Hot Forming Gripper
Lightweight PSB-20 pneumatic grippers from Bilsing help increase stroke rates in hot forming automotive components with short opening and closing cycles that increase productivity and optional sensors to correct part positioning.

Compact Remote Welding Head for Robotic Laser Welding
For quick welding times and minimal heat input, a FANUC robot welds parts using a robot-mounted, high-speed Compact Remote Welding head controlled by a two-axis servo motor that manipulates the fine-focused beam into a weave shape pattern tailored to the joint and material.

Robotic Grippers for Efficient Tending of Metal Fabrication Operations
The RG2 Collaborative Gripper and the VG10 dual-zone electrical vacuum gripper from OnRobot provide dual grip capabilities, flexibility and more to optimize handling and cut machine tending time.
