How does automated small-part inspection make a factory more competitive?
New Scale Robotics CEO David Henderson spoke with Robotics Tomorrow about small, precision grippers and electronic calipers for cobots. Here’s an excerpt:
Precision gripper comparison
You need a precision gripper if you wish to use collaborative robots for small part manipulation, intricate assembly work, or automated measurement inspection. The precision gripper must have: small size low mass high measurement precision The NSR-PG-10-20-URe...Eastec 2019 highlights
See three precision parallel grippers on one UR3e cobot in this demo from Eastec 2019. The three grippers take five different precision measurements of a small part, enable in-process decisions, and record the data.
