De-Sta-Co Industries Offers Modular End Effector Tooling System For Light Material Handling Applications
Madison Heights, Mich., Oct. 20, 2003 - DE-STA-CO Industries' Modular End Effector Tooling System (MET) is an optimal solution in flexible modular automation. The MET system can be easily configured to meet a variety of material handling applications including packaging, injection molding, small metal stamping, palletizing, and glass handling. Based upon a modular concept with accessories such as automatic tool changers, compliance devices, robotic adapter plates, vacuum cups and nipper mounts, any MET system can be reconfigured, re-used or interchanged between other units for maximum flexibility.
Although made of lightweight aluminum, the MET is more robust than typical systems built using T-nuts and aluminum square extrusions. It can be mounted to the robot in either end-mount cantilever style or a mid-mount configuration. Quick disconnect air ports let you switch between various tooling in seconds.
"The MET series is comprised of fewer components as well as being flexible, lightweight, compact, and easy-to-use," says DE-STA-CO Industries President Jon Simpson. "This line is representative of our commitment to design lean products that offer increased productivity to our customers."
MET features include:
· 360 degree positioning;
· vision camera mount;
· 5 pin electrical connector option for manual tool changers;
· 5 pin electrical connector option for bayonets;
· bayonet with 4 airports and air shut off; and
· base mount tool changer with 4 air ports and air shut off or a flange mount tool changer with 4 air ports and air shut off.
