Multi Talent PARO® Juggles with Balls
At the shared booth of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, the PARO® palletising robot demonstrated its skills and flexibility when handling unusual package types: In addition to boxes, also balls were palletised in Hannover this year.
The PARO® robot, originally designed for palletising processes at the end of production lines, placed balls onto an air stream at the trade fair, which then danced in the whirling air for some minutes. Afterwards, the robot caught the floating balls out of the air again and set them off on a ball pyramid. The compressed air for the whirling air stream was generated directly at the trade fair by trade-fair booth partners Boge and Beko by means of an innovative compressor system and was fed into the robot cell in conditioned form.
The multi-functionality of the gripping tools developed by roTeg was exemplary demonstrated here by means of a combined clamp-/suction-gripper, which was able to safely handle balls as well as box packages.
The transparent protective device and the robot accessible and viewable from all sides offered a precise insight in the technology of the PARO® palletising robot to the interested fair visitor.
Also the easily operable control and the user friendly operation concept could be well and vividly demonstrated with the trade fair robot.
