Industrial Exoskeleton
Lightweight due to a carbon fiber structure, the fifth generation version of the Cray X exoskeleton easily connects to industrial IoT platforms and all smart factory ecosystems. Other major enhancements include active walking assistance and IP54 waterproofing. It provides up to 66 pounds of back support per lifting movement, and comes with a 40-volt, battery-powered energy system that has been completely revamped. The wearable product also features the Smart Safety Companion, which is an AI-based ergonomics early warning system that alerts workers when they have poor posture while lifting objects. All performance data can be saved and analyzed to improve worker health and reduce accidents. Companies currently using the exoskeleton include BMW, Ikea and the France-based international parcel delivery service DPD.

Quickly Change Gripper Fingers
The manual BSWS-M system lets workers quickly change gripper fingers with the push of a button. This simple action mechanically unlocks the top jaw so the finger can immediately be pulled off the gripper. Pushing a button also allows the worker to connect a new jaw to the gripper just as quickly and easily. The supplier’s predecessor quick-change system, BSWS, required an Allen key to perform these tasks. With the new system, set-up times are greatly reduced, while productivity and flexibility are increased. Three versions are available. In model BSWS-BM, the change mechanism is integrated into a base. With the BSWS-URM model, the locking mechanism is supplied as a kit for direct installation in the gripper fingers. Model BSWS-ABRM comprises finger blanks with an integrated change mechanism that can be individually adapted to the respective clamping contour.

Series of Six-Axis Cobots
All six models of Dobot CR six-axis cobots are teachable by demonstration or single-hand guidance, and allow real-time control on a mobile phone, iPad or tablet through a WiFi connection. The cobots are also easily programmable by using visuals, drag and drop, and block-based language. They offer real-time obstacle avoidance through online route planning, dynamic monitoring every 5 seconds, 10-centimeter-proximity pretouch sensing, force sensing and camera entry detection. The robots are durable, offering 32,000 hours of service life before recommended maintenance, and provide built-in energy feedback with hectowatt-level power consumption. Available models include the CR3 (795-millimeter reach, 3-kilogram payload), CR3L (1,920 and 3), CR5 (1,096 and 5), CR7 (990 and 7), CR10 (1,525 and 10), CR12 (1,425 and 12), and CR16 (1,223 and 16).

Paint Spray Booth for Car Manufacturers
With modular EcoProBooths, automakers can increase the scalability and flexibility of their high-volume production lines for interior and exterior painting of vehicles. The booths are designed to consume significantly less energy and produce fewer carbon emissions than typical spray lines. In the case of a primerless process, for example, two traditional rigid lines become five parallel booth-based lines. Each of the latter features one position for applying the base coat and one for applying the clear coat. Equally beneficial, the lines can be individually controlled and brought online or offline as needed. Another advantage is the elimination of cycle time losses due to different painting parameters (such as metallic and solid) or body types. The booth features four robots, equipped with EcoBell4 Pro Ux atomizers, that accurately paint all standard passenger vehicles, from compact cars to SUVs.
