PROCESS CONTROL

material handling solutions –the company has the product portfolio and the expertise to offer solutions for complex handling processes.

From the analysis of the framework conditions and application requirements, to the concept and CAD planning of the system, through to the delivery of all components, Stäubli Fluid Connectors offers a complete service package. Also, upon request, the solutions can be delivered fully assembled.

The more durable an end-of-arm-tooling solution is, the longer it can remain productive and generate revenue. In today’s environment a general scarcity of resources heightens this effect, therefore extended periods of use and operation are desirable from both an ecological and an economic point of view.

There exists an uncertainty over which robot applications will be required in the future, but Stäubli Fluid Connectors says it has built in a high degree of flexibility to help future-proof the new products. Theoretically, the systems should be adaptable to meet new requirements at any time, for example for retooling or retrofit. This, the firm believes, will guarantee a decent lifespan for those who invest in the tech.

Stäubli’s international presence means that the new end-of-arm-tooling products will be available globally, with Stäubli Fluid Connectors represented by several subsidiaries. “This enables us to offer a worldwide network with well-established expertise,” said Ermer. “We are the ideal partner for international companies that want to implement allencompassing End-of-ArmTooling concepts or establish globally uniform standards.”

Ermer added that a local presence in international markets is an important factor in such ventures, because when dealing with data-driven processes, country-specific directives and standards must need to be taken into account.
