Hannover Trade Fair: PARO the robot plays ball

roTeg AG demonstrates palletising technology in the processing chain at the joint North Rhine-Westphalia Trade Fair stand

Dortmund, March 2010 – Dortmund-based roTeg AG will be demonstrating the latest in automation technology at the “Industrie” Hannover Trade Fair in April 2010. Using its PARO-Control control unit, PARO the palletising robot will demonstrate the range of uses and the flexibility of the system with its exhibition partners BOGE und BEKO.

roTeg AG will be demonstrating innovations in robotics at the joint stand of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in Hall 16 at this year’s Hannover trade with the use of vacuum gripping technology. The robot uses a combined gripping device: In the gripping system, the compressed air is converted to a vacuum along the lines of a Venturi jet to palletise cardboard boxes.
The palletising robot also uses pneumatic gripping jaws to grip footballs hovering in a stream of air. roTeg AG has already won several prizes for user-friendly robot-control technology and its multi-functional gripping system. With just a few finger-movements on the touch-screen which comes with the robot, the user is able to enter the dimensions of new packages without any computing knowledge and then semi-automatically generate suitable layer-patterns. Programming robots could hardly be easier or more convenient.
