General news
KEBA at the SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2010 - Hall 7, Stand 7-470 _2010-11-18
Visit us on our Stand 7-470 in Hall 7 from November 23-25 and see the many advantages of KEBA automation solutions for yourself.
This year KEBA will be presenting a range of innovations including the following: - Sensitive robotics for new automation horizons
The innovative active contact flange is an effective combination of a highly sensitive sensor and actuator. The actuator engineering consists of pneumatic, fluidic muscles and can compensate autonomously for fluctuations in contact force of up to a maximum of 500 Newton, without the necessity of the robot controls taking path-corrective action. Moreover, as far as precision is concerned, the active contact flange outstrips standard load cells by far. This means that the automation of activities that was previously only possible with very high levels of investment can now be completed at reasonable cost.
- Intuitive robot operation using gestures via precise inertial sensors
The revolutionary KeTop P10 operating device registers the hand movements of the user and translates these into robot movements. In addition, all the orientation axes can be altered and adjusted by pressing a button or simply rotating your wrist. As a result, traditional teach-in concepts are superfluous and time savings of around 10-20 % can be achieved even when experienced robot operators are involved.
- The open control system is a unique hard- and software solution that fits industrial standards for every type of use
This facilitates the coverage of every application from standard IPC solutions to individual high-end control systems. Furthermore, modern, open system architecture allows system architects to superimpose tools and diagnosis functions on a solid platform with numerous basic services, without sacrificing considerable amounts of free space for the design of their own developments. Using the open system, even less experienced users can arrive at an efficient control solution quickly and safely.
- The latest generations of KeTop handheld devices, which as a result of their openness, can communicate with all control systems in the CoDeSys Automation Alliance
As a consequence, it is possible to mobilize visualizations is an extremely simple manner and to employ them on Keba’s superior handheld control devices. These are characterized by unsurpassed robustness, high levels of ergonomics, top performance and brilliant displays. The comfortable KeStudio ViewEdit environment with numerous turnkey widgets is available for efficient project engineering. This allows the smooth integration of graphic elements in order to adjust applications to suit end customers.
