Quebec City, Canada ​(April 8, 2019)​—​Robotiq, a leading provider of tools and software for thecollaborative robotics (cobots) market, announced today the launch of AirPick, EPick and theRobotiq Sanding Kit. Designed for manufacturers looking to automate packaging, palletizing andsanding applications, these products’ intuitive features eliminate the need for expensive,
complicated custom-designed solutions.
AirPick and EPick are fully customizable vacuum grippers that give manufacturers complete
control over their automation process. Built for a wide range of industrial applications, theirplug-and-play capabilities make them easy to program and quick to install on cobots. Theirability to handle objects of varying sizes, shapes, materials and weights makes them aneffective solution for packaging, palletizing, pick-and-place, assembly and machine-tending
applications.
The new additions of AirPick and EPick complete Robotiq’s lineup of reliable, high-quality
grippers. The expansion into vacuum grippers is a natural next step for the company whose
Adaptive Grippers are the world’s best-selling grippers for cobots.
Robotiq, a pioneer in cobot force control, is also introducing its first application-based package:
the Robotiq Sanding Kit. As the only hardware and software sanding solution for Universal
Robots, it increases quality and productivity while saving manufacturers hours of programming.
The software’s ​built-in path generator ensures consistent force is applied at each cycle, whichmakes it easy to automate​ dirty and tedious finishing tasks.
“The introduction of these solutions to the Robotiq product family is built on our expertise fromsupporting thousands of clients with their automation projects over the past 10 years,” explains
Jean-Philippe Jobin, CTO and co-founder at Robotiq. “AirPick, EPick and the Robotiq Sanding Kit
were all engineered for helping manufacturers start production faster in mind. We wanted tosupport them in automating their cobot applications by offering solutions that are easy to use,safe, and flexible.”
