Universal Robots
Thelma & Louis Video
    
Video shows how a "high mix/low volume producer" implemented UR robots to their benefit.  UR robots are shown on rolling carts to deploy and handle different applications and needs. 

 "The UR was the only robot we saw that could do the job..."  Apply to tasks that are monotonous or labor intensive.  One application is potting electric components with epoxy.  Enables SFEG to be more competitive. 

Workers were at first apprehensive, but now they are very comfortable and suggesting different applications.  Workers actually give them names; Themla and Louise.  "If you can work a smart phone, you can pretty much work these robots."



6-Axis Force Torque Sensor
      
Robot force control with easy integration
    
The Robotiq Force Torque Sensor FT 150 is a 6-axis force torque sensor designed for force control with easy integration and immunity from external electrical noise.
 
With direct communication, the sensor signal can be sent directly as digital input to your robot controller. No need for an external signal processing box with the associated costs and no need for costly fieldbus cards.
 
This new 6-Axis Force Torque Sensor makes integration easier for end users with software packages for Universal robots, ROS, Linux and Windows.

Parker P-Series EtherCAT Servo Drive
    
High performance and advanced functionality

The P-Series drives operate with EtherCAT high-speed motion bus, offering real-time networking and  sophisticated servo functionality. A number of different feedback types are supported to drive a wide range of linear and rotary servo motors. The best matches are the P-Series motors, which include absolute encoders and populate motor nameplate data back to the drives for simplified commissioning.

Accurate and easy to use inertia detection leads to fast set-up of tuning parameters and minimal settling time. Advanced filtering and vibration suppression features can be used to increase throughput and improve positioning performance.
