Stäubli, a global manufacturer of quick release couplings and robotics systems, is hosting a Technology Days open house event for the manufacturing sector, August 27-29, at its training facility in Novi.

Stäubli will showcase a variety of automation cells highlighting innovative solutions to streamline manufacturing processes, open to the public from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.

“Stäubli has leveraged our 30 years of automotive experience to develop unique robotic systems with the high performance and flexibility for the industry’s demanding applications,” said Sebastien Schmitt, Robotics Division manager, Staubli North America. “Stäubli’s product range answers challenging production requirements and harsh environments from parts assembly to water-jet stripping, and our 6-axis machines, SCARA robots and fast pickers bring precision and reliability to production processes across the manufacturing spectrum.”

Stäubli will display its new TS2 SCARA series, a completely redesigned four-axis machine with proprietary JCS drive technology that facilitates ultra-short cycle times and high repeatability. It also features a fully encapsulated hygienic design, which enables new applications in sensitive environments. The TS2 offers a smart connected tool that allows the option of either automatic or manual connection and disconnections of various tools, managed by Stäubli’s CS9 controller. 

Stäubli’s new TX2touch robot, featuring a highly responsive, touch-sensitive skin system designed to stop the machine whenever it comes into contact with a human being, will also be featured. The 6-axis, TX2 collaborative robots combine speed, rigidity, size and precision for high performance and have unique features that make them adaptable to all industries, including sensitive and complex environments.

Demonstrations during Technology Days include:

• TX2 40: Man-robot collaboration level 2 and level 3 for assembly processes
• TX2touch: Man-robot collaboration level 4 featuring Asyril’s flex feeding solution
• TS2 60: Upgraded performance and tracking capabilities from Stäubli’s new SCARA robot
• TX2 60: Coordinate measuring robot in partnership with Metrologic
• TX2 90L: Bin picking solution with Visio Nerf
• RX 160: Robot master programming and machining process
• Education cell: Stäubli Robotic Suite offline programming with real-time functionalities
• TX2 90 HE: Water-jet cutting and stripping solution
• Best practices for robotic maintenance

Manufacturing experts from Stäubli will conduct educational seminars at 10 a.m. on the topic of man-robot collaboration and risk assessment and at 11 a.m. on AGVs and mobile robotic solutions each day of the event.
