SAS Automation, Introduces RFID Robotic End-of-Arm Tooling
XENIA, OHIO SAS Automation introduces new Robotic End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) with RFID tags to automatically ensure the correct tooling is operating with the corresponding operation and equipment.
RFID is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using RFID tags. SAS has applied an RFID tag in a Robotic End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) mounting plate to identify itself when mounted and installed on a standard Quick Change Mounting Chuck, mounted to the robot.
Important features of this system are to identify the correct robotic EOAT gripper is mounted to the robot running the applicable program and confirm the rest of the critical equipment is installed - including the correct die or mold in stamping, plastics or packaging operations.
RFID is low cost insurance against robot, tooling and part damage because it quickly ensures the correct tooling is running. RFID tags prevent costly damage due to system crashes, reduces labor costs, and are critical during line change-overs.
New SAS EOAT RFID has built-in I/O capability up to 8 channels of RFID and can be integrated into existing platforms, and supports PROFIBUS ®-DP, DeviceNet(TM), Modbus-TCP, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP(TM). Furthermore the data carriers use state-of-the-art FRAM storage technology for virtually an unlimited number of write operations and had high temperature data carriers rated up to 210°C.
