Advanced Motion Feature

How can collaborative handling scenarios be implemented in non-structured environments? SCHUNK has looked into this question in cooperation with KUKA and Roboception. In a technology study, the three companies show how bin picking can succeed in collaborative operation quickly, simply and efficiently.

The example task is designed realistically: Unsorted metal parts are gripped by a Cobot and taken from a bin, placed in a grinding machine and stored precisely after machining. In parallel, workers should be able to manually feed, move or remove transportation boxes or individual parts during operation.

Machine Safety

 Keep It De-Energized with PNOZ s60 from Pilz

With the safe voltage monitor PNOZ s60 Pilz now offers monitoring of the de-energised state of plant and machinery to the standard UL 6420. This makes PNOZ s60 suitable for use in applications that require a Safety Lockout System (SLS), that is, when plants are held in a safe, electrically de-energised state.

The safe voltage monitor PNOZ s60 completes the safety relay PNOZsigma product group and fulfils the requirements for the implementation of SLS applications as prescribed by law in the USA. PNOZ s60 monitors de-energised 1-phase or 3-phase supplies with neutral conductor. Two switching thresholds can be set: 12 V or the 6 V common in the food and beverage sector.
