Fully integrated LSR solution with robot novelty

We demonstrate our LSR process expertise and the compatibility of the OPC-UA interface for common metering systems on an IntElect 180 all-electric injection molding machine. It is used to produce four different, durable and reusable covers for drinking and food cans - so-called smart caps - in a single mold. This makes a contribution to sustainability, true to our trade show slogan 'Act! Sustainably'.

The production cell also includes our robot novelty SAM-S. It is a 6-axis hybrid robot comprising Scara mechanics and linear robotics. With two payload sizes (12kg and 25kg) currently planned, the SAM-S series is suitable for applications where a linear robot is considered too inflexible, yet industrial robots too complex for operators.
