Patented No Drip Air Atomizing Nozzles Conserve Precious Liquids EXAIR’s new 1/8 NPT No Drip Internal Mix Air Atomizing Spray Nozzles mix liquid and air inside the nozzle and produce the finest atomization of liquids. The new, patented No Drip Internal Mix Atomizing Spray Nozzles work in the same way our standard atomizing nozzles do, but have the added benefit of positively stopping liquid flow when compressed air is shut off. When spraying any type of liquid, post-spray liquid flow can cause big problems. Drips occurring after spraying waste precious resources such as expensive coatings, chemicals or water, and are now eliminated with EXAIR’s patented design. Unwanted drips can ruin product function on sealing or mating surfaces and can ruin the appearance of painted or coated finishes. EXAIR’s No Drip Air Atomizing Nozzles are ideal where no post-spray drip is permissible. When the compressed air supply is shut off, the no drip nozzle positively seals off the flow of liquid eliminating the possibility of drips. » For more information, visit www.exair.com
ABB and Covariant Partner to Deploy Integrated AI Robotic Solutions
ATI Industrial Automation has introduced the AOV-10 Axially-Compliant Orbital Sander
ABB, the world-leading supplier of industrial robots, and Silicon Valley AI start-up, Covariant, today announced a partnership to bring AI-enabled robotics solutions to market, starting with a fully autonomous warehouse order fulfilment solution. The partnership brings together the two companies with a shared vision for robotics enabled by AI, where intelligent robots work alongside humans in dynamic environments, collectively learning and improving with every task completed. Given the accelerated global growth experienced in the e-commerce sector, ABB identified a significant opportunity for AI-enabled robotics solutions across a broad range of applications including logistics, warehousing, and parcels and mail sorting.
ATI Industrial Automation has introduced the AOV-10 Axially-Compliant Orbital Sander, specifically designed for robotic surface preparation and finishing. With built-in compliance, the AOV-10 is well-suited for many different robotic applications—even those that require a light touch. A pneumaticallyactuated compliance mechanism allows for dynamic control of contact forces and ensures an ideal result every time. The compliance force is adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of applications. Double-acting motion offsets the weight of the tool to produce the desired finish no matter how it is oriented. Users can mount the AOV-10 directly to their robot or to a fixture, in any orientation, including upside-down.
