Featured Technology : New Edge Roller Conveyor Comprehensive Machine Vision Lab Improved Hand-E Robot Gripper

IoT Wireless I/O Solutions Robot Zone - Hey Jeremy! RR Floody Gift Card Program

New Edge Roller Technology (ERT™ 250) Conveyor Beltless zone control for pallet and tray handling Dorner's new precision edge roller conveyors  provide efficient, non-contact zoning for medium & heavy load assembly automation applications. They feature a clean, open roller design and are ISO Class 4 approved for cleanrooms. The ERT 250 is built for applications such as medical product and device manufacturing, assembly and packaging, as well as medium-large heavy load assembly automation applications. Slip roller technology reduces the force by almost 75%, and the force to accumulate product with driven roller is less than that of belted conveyors.   Widths 120 mm to 960 mm wide 38 mm diameter rollers on 50 mm centers Loads up to 250 pounds per pallet or tray Loads up to 15 pounds per roller 150 mm minimum long tray Speeds up to 30 m (100 feet) per minute Learn more about Edge Roller Conveyors Comprehensive Machine Vision Lab Ensure the best outcome for your machine vision application R.R.

Hand-E Gripper with Improved Performance & Payload Your favorite gripper just got better! With the same form factor and improved internal components, the improved Hand-E gripper offers increased payload and a better warranty. Hand-E gripper comes with a 3-fingertip kit so automation engineers can easily integrate the gripper in their application. Its compact and ergonomic shape makes collaborative robot hand-guiding safe and easy. A grip check feature allows the robot to validate its grip with the part's dimensions before starting the cycle. The gripper for collaborative robots Plug + Play and easy to program High accuracy and wide stroke Ideal for precision assembly tasks Built for industrial applications and harsh environments Learn more about Hand-E Gripper IoT Wireless I/O Solutions Providing sensing devices with direct cloud accessibility Industrial IoT deploys lots of wireless sensor nodes in the working environment. Advantech’s   WISE (Wireless IoT Sensing Embedded) series  are designed as sensing devices which use a wireless interface using the IoT framework. Wireless interface is the most popular because it reduces number of cables and speed of installation.  Advantech’s new WISE-4000 series utilize a Low-Power Wide-Area Network which provides better penetration capability, less interference and longer battery life. These remote modules leverage Wi-Fi, to provide high-performance modularized wireless sensor nodes that can be easily integrated into existing networks. WISE 4200 – built-in battery powered sensor and I/O option WISE 4400 – IP65 rated housing and built-in antenna for harsh environments WISE 4600 – Supports cellular communications with a solar rechargeable battery Learn more about Wireless IoT Devices
