Industrial robot

A system for interfacing with an operator's body for distributing forces to the operator's body received by the system from a function unit. The system includes a frame and a plurality of contact units connected to the frame which are positioned and communicate with the operator's torso to distribute the received forces. The plurality of contact units each include a first and second support having an elastic body positioned therebetween which allows relative movement between the first and second supports.

System for interfacing with an operator's body for a function unit

A portable safety control device for use with a portable electronic device to communicate with an industrial machine. The control device includes a body having gripping portion for engagement by a human hand and a supporting portion for engagement with the portable electronic device. In one example, separate enabling and emergency stop switches are positioned on the body proximate the gripping portion within reach of the hand engaged with the gripping portion, and is configured for ease of use by left or right-handed users. The supporting portion is configured and oriented to rest on the forearm of an operator. A control circuit is used to communicate with both the portable electronic device and the industrial machine controller.

Portable safety control device for industrial machines in particular robots

A robot device having modules that can be combined together to produce alternative devices useful for educational purposes. The robot device includes one or more frame bodies and one or more motorized joints connected to the frame bodies and in communication with a central control unit. Each motorized joint includes a fixed portion and a movable portion. Through a combination of frame bodies and motorized joints modules, alternative motorized devices can be generated.

Functional device, in particular a robot, for educational use with modules that can be combined together

Described herein is a multi-axial industrial robot, in particular of a SCARA type, where the base structure designed to enable installation of the robot on an external supporting structure, can be mounted according to two opposite orientations, where one orientation is upside down with respect to the other, while at the same time the operating head of the robot may instead maintain one and the same orientation.

Multi-axial industrial robot

Described herein is a multi-axis industrial robot, in particular of a SCARA type, wherein the arm bearing the operating unit comprises a base body and a covering body, which constitute a hermetically closed housing that contains the actuation assembly of said unit. The robot is characterized in that the arm further comprises an internal intermediate body via which the covering body can be fixed to the base body without any need to envisage direct fixing between these two bodies.

Multi-axis industrial SCARA robot

A sensorized covering, prearranged for covering at least part of a movable structure of an automated device. The sensorized covering is useful for sensing an actual impact or anticipating an imminent impact to the automated device. The sensorized covering includes one or more covering modules wherein each covering module may include contact sensors and/or proximity sensors, a loading bearing structure and/or controls. The individual sensorized modules may be independently connected or controlled, or connected together and collectively controlled. Examples of the automated device my include a movable robots or an automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
