    ClickSmart Family of Gripper Kits
    End-of-arm tooling for Sawyer Robots
    We are excited to announce the ClickSmart™ family of gripper kits, a unique solution for end-of-arm tooling for Sawyer that incorporates smart sensing and rapid swapping capabilities, resulting in the first fully integrated robotic solution available on the market through a single vendor.
     
    Rethink's complete solution continues to simplify robot deployments. When the ClickSmart Plate is attached to any Sawyer robot, it will immediately recognize the type of end-effector and know how to control it.

    Mitsubishi iQ-R Series Redundant Control System
    Highly reliable control easily realized at low cost
    Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. has paired its proven iQ-R Series integrated control platform with a redundant function module to create a redundant process control system for applications that require highly reliable control. The iQ-R Series Process CPU/Redundant System is designed specifically for industries such as oil and gas, wastewater and building automation with applications that require near 100 percent uptime to prevent harmful or costly disruptions.
    • Redundancy across multiple levels, reducing single-point failures
    • High availability at multiple levels for improved system reliability
    • Extensive visualization and data acquisition with Mitsubishi Electric SCADA MC Works6
    • Easy configuration with GX Works3 integrated engineering software
    Cognex DataMan 70 Compact Barcode Reader
    Small reader delivers fierce performance
    DataMan® 70 is a compact fixed-mount barcode reader providing the highest read rates for 1-D and 2-D label-based barcodes. With advanced image formation and a small footprint, DataMan 70 is the ideal solution for slow-moving or high speed manufacturing and logistics applications.

    DataMan 70 is equipped with industry-leading 1DMax® with Hotbars and IDQuick® barcode reading algorithms that reliably read label-based 1-D and 2-D barcodes with variations in contrast, blur, damage, resolution, quiet zone violations, and perspective distortion.

    New Diffuse Large Light Panels
    Delivering 10 times the power
    The LLPX and the LLPX-H Series — second generations of the LLP backlight and LLP-H diffuse ring light panel, respectively — allow for more intensity with the same familiar ease of mounting, along with a MultiDrive™ controller that delivers up to 10 times the power versus continuous wave (CW) operation.

    With the LLPX and the LLPX-H Series’ new optically clear internal light dispersion grid and matte white–finished backing plate, more light is reflected up and out through the diffusion acrylic.  As an added benefit, by regulating the current delivered to the LEDs and limiting the duty cycle of the light, the built-in MultiDriveTM protects the LEDs from premature degradation and failure caused by excessive heat.
