Robotiq is pleased to introduce the Adaptive Gripper and welding glove component for flexible fixturing welding applications at FABTECH 2011. As the first industrial dexterous gripper on the market, the Adaptive Gripper gives industrial robots “hand-like” capabilities to enhance their ability to handle a wide variety of parts in a welding environment through a rugged and simple design.
“The increasing rarity of welders led manufacturers to automate, but the pressure towards high-mix, low-volume part batches has made automation more complex and costly,” said Samuel Bouchard – President of Robotiq. “Additionally, custom-made fixtures often create roadblocks to optimization. The goal is to provide the right tools so the true benefits of automation can be realized: improve productivity, welding quality and consistency.”
