OverviewAutomating complex processes with ease and implementing new applications – no problem with the Smart Flex Effector, our sensor-based, easily retrofittable compensation module. By actively measuring position data in six degrees of freedom, the end effector gives industrial robots the precision and sensitivity of a human hand, thus opening up completely new possibilities in factory automation.
The Smart Flex Effector can be fitted to all typical robots such as articulated robots, linear robots or cobots and is compatible with a wide range of grippers. It opens up completely new approaches in factory automation. It can be used virtually anywhere: In the electronics, automotive or packaging industries, in battery production, in mechanical engineering or in metal construction.
The Smart Flex Effector impresses with four unique selling points shown here using a simple joining process as an example:
The Smart Flex Effector can easily be connected to a PC with the programming kit (cable set and power supply). The kit is available separately and allows the compensation module to be controlled, operated and configured using special software for the PC. As a result, the basic functions of the Smart Flex Effector can be tested quickly and easily and firmware updates can be carried out.
Application packages for various robot manufacturers allow robot-specific connections and thus quick and easy commissioning of the Smart Flex Effector. This means that simple application tasks can be performed quickly and efficiently. The packages include software and hardware components as well as documentation for the particular robot which describes the connection process.
Various flanges and adapter plates allow the flexible element to be connected to most popular robots and grippers. The mechanical accessories thus allow customer-specific use within a range of applications and industries.
