AxiCheck helps increase production capacity by quickly and accurately inspecting the state of health of the machine, allowing users to identify and correct errors that may impact the workpiece, as well as planning maintenance operations in advance. This reduces the number of reject parts, particularly when dealing with single batches of expensive part production. 

Dorner Europe is expanding its presence throughout the region by adding the 2200 Series LPZ (Low Profile Z-Frame) conveyor to its lineup of conveyor platforms being manufactured from its Jülich, Germany, location.

Versa Pullers presents caterpillar pullers, which provide uniform pressure over the entire traction length, thus exerting greater pulling force without product deformation. They are suitable for pliable materials like tubing, extruded profiles, foams, soft extruded materials like weather stripping. Versa series “C” pullers are available in non-motorized versions, which can be included in OEM designs, or in motorized versions that allow “out of the box” productivity.

A universal positioning system that consists of a wide range of components that lets users mount, move to position and then lock devices in space has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp.

EXAIR’s new type 303 stainless steel 2-1/2 NPT threaded Line Vac air-operated conveyors convert ordinary pipe into a powerful conveying system for parts, scrap, trim and other bulk materials. They are ideal for food, chemical, pharmaceutical and medical processes or areas likely to be wet and corrosive, which require the benefits of 303SS including excellent chemical and corrosion resistance, performance in higher temperatures, long service life and low maintenance.

Verti-Lift presents a complete line or ergonomic equipment for elevated work heights. In the world of manufacturing and assembly, some oversized products require work to be done at an elevated height. Verti-Lift’s Double Scissor Lift & Tilt Tables allow operators the ergonomic flexibility to work at an elevated work height.

The Dispense Works Inc. RP series robotic dispensing system with an optional vision guided system performs pattern recognition and edge and hole detection for simpler setup and fixturing, while assuring repeatability from part to part. The robot takes a picture of the part, does any necessary offsets and adjusts its program for precise dispensing and part placement.

A new PH Cell pallet system with a footprint of 10.7 m² from DMG MORI is available for the DMU 65 monoBLOCK machine. The side loading into the machine tool guarantees optimal ergonomics and accessibility to the workspace.

Verti-Lift presents a complete line of pneumatic lifting, tilting, and rotating ergonomic equipment, which are ideal when hydraulics are not an option, and the cost to run electrical is prohibitive. With solutions that are cost effective and versatile, these pneumatic products are ideal for work cells, packaging, manufacturing or assembly applications.

Hoist Eye 360 is a forged lifting eye that can be rotated 360° after installation, to align with the pulling direction. This compact assembly features a specially designed shoulder bolt, which rotates freely in the precisely machined lifting-eye body and is held captive by a retaining ring.

Verti-Lift presents versatile floor level 90 degree tilt tables with removable forks, which are ideal for manufacturing or assembly applications where the process requires work in the horizontal and vertical positions. With the flexibility of removable forks while in the horizontal position, and a range from 0 to 90 degrees, workers are allowed 360 degree access to the product while in the horizontal position, while the vertical position allows access to manufacturing and assembly processes of difficult to reach areas in the vertical position.

Dorner has consolidated two existing product lines and unified them into a single platform, which is now called FlexMove.

Verti-Lift presents versatile shuttle/transfer carts with the integration of portability, lifting and conveying. With the option of V-Grove casters or Flanged casters (for plant pedestrian traffic areas that will not allow obstruction), portability allows product movement between multiple work cells or processes.

UNIMOVE LLC presents its CM500 vacuum tube lifter for safe and ergonomic handling of bags, boxes, pails, drums, sheet rock and more. A robust pulley-driven power unit, operated at up to 5,000 rpm, provides a high lifting capacity and the ability to effectively handle both porous and nonporous materials.

Versa Motorized Puller assemblies include all components for “out of the box” productivity for a wide variety of downstream handling requirements. Available in pinch wheel or Caterpillar designs, pullers are mounted on a 12” x 14” base plate for easy positioning of feed materials and includes a choice of either AC or DC motor and drive, and a remote operator control station (OCS) which can be mounted wherever desired.

The Fastems RoboCell One sets new standards in relation to extremely adaptable and flexible machining, particularly heavy workpieces within batches of different sizes. The easy-to-configure robot cell is primarily designed for handling heavy workpieces weighing up to 176 lbs. (80 kg) and for automating up to two machine tools of the same type – either lathes or milling machines. The solution consequently comes into its own at the point where existing automation systems reach their limits solely due to the maximum weight of the workpiece.

Harrington Hoists Inc. introduces its HFH Fork Truck Hook, which is designed to lift and carry loads on the fork of a fork truck using a single latched hook or swivel hook. It is available to fit fork widths of 5¼ to 7 inches and 3¼ to 3 inches in height with a capacity of 1½ tons.

Harrington Hoists Inc. has introduced its new RY series electric wire rope hoists. Designed for safety, reliability and performance, these ultralow headroom trolley hoists have an H4 duty rating for high demand applications and standard configurations are certified and listed to UL 1340 “Standard for Hoists” and CSA 22.2 No. 33.

Verti-Lift introduces new packing stations which combine a full-length work area adjacent to a full-length integral conveyor for speeding the container, product or component to its next destination. Built on the proven Verti-Lift tandem scissor lift platform, these extra-long packing stations can be raised or lowered to meet the application needs of manufacturing, processing, distribution operations and more.

Dorner 2200 Series Conveyors is now a certified UR+ Solution that simplify robot and conveyor integration for a wide variety of automated applications. Easy programming, fast setup, and flexible deployment make the Dorner 2200 series suitable for systems that need an infeed and discharge to a Universal Robot.
