Omron’s Sysmac Platform offers synchronous control of all machine devices and advanced functionality such as motion, robotics and database connectivity. This multidisciplinary concept allows you to simplify solution architecture, reduce programming and optimize productivity.
As an operator of complex systems, you need to ensure that different motion sequences, multiple axes, and various drives are precisely coordinated with one another. The efficiency of your production depends on this. In order to ensure this required intelligent coordination, you also need both intelligent and reliable control technology.

This integrated motor stands out for its high torque density, high efficiency, maintenance-free components, and a high-quality industrial housing providing IP65 protection.
Social Distancing is probably one of the most frequently used terms at the moment. Distance should not only be kept when shopping, but of course especially in hospitals. Cobots can help with an appropriate gripping system. In an application of the company Cobot Team a simulation is shown how a collaborative robot of Rethink Robotics GmbH (Sawyer) equipped with an HRC gripper of the Zimmer Group can support the hospital staff in adjusting the oxygen level for a COVID-19 patient.
The Zimmer Group has recently added three new sizes to its successful GPP5000IL and GPD5000IL gripper series. These pneumatic-electric hybrid grippers are excellent for users who are bringing their gripping applications into the world of Industry 4.0, but do not want to forgo a pneumatic drive.
