With human to robot collaboration, SCHUNK has technology firmly in its grasp. I am proud to have the SCHUNK HRC Co-act gripper JL1 bear my initials.

“The SCHUNK Co-act gripper JL1 is characterized by the strengths of world-class goalkeeper and SCHUNK brand ambassador Jens Lehmann: precision, safety, teamwork and No. 1 position.

With the NEW SCHUNK technology carrier Co-act gripper JL1, SCHUNK is setting the stage for the first intelligent HRC gripper that directly interacts with humans. Adjustments to the gripping processes can be made in real time using diverse sensor systems. In essence, various “senses” are used to record, evaluate and communicate situational, environmental and operational conditions.

In the future, SCHUNK Co-act grippers will be able to transmit all relevant data about processes and surroundings to the control and production systems. The focus will be on the intelligent flow of materials, process optimization and continuous documentation. The system perfectly enhances the intuitive interaction between the gripper and the operator.

The NEW SCHUNK Technology Carrier for Collaborative Gripping

TouchscreenEnables communication with the gripper as well as teaching or switching to various operating modes

CameraMounted between the fingers for detecting the surroundings, differentiating and searching for objects

Parallel and Angular GripsTwo types of grips for gripping any geometries

Tactile Sensor SystemsFor in time detection and differentiation of workpieces and humans

Capacitive Sensor SystemsFor the prevention of collisions

Optical FeedbackThrough the use of LED lights, the Co-act gripper JL1 provides information to the operator about the status of the gripper and identification of the workpieces

No Force LimitationIdeal for handling heavy workpiece weights

The NEW collaborative SCHUNK Gripper

From robots that replace workers to robots that serve as helpful colleagues, the field of robotic automation is experi-encing a new trend that represents a huge challenge for component manufacturers.

Whenever full automation of production or assembly lines is not the most economically feasible option, it is necessary to single out individual processes to be delegated between humans and robots. In such situations, autonomous cobots, meaning robots used in the worker’s immediate environment, can handle non-ergonomic or monotonous tasks such as assisting with lifting or positioning loads. This reduces the physical workload for workers and makes the process more efficient. At the same time, humans and robots working hand in hand helps to minimize space requirements and increase flexibility.

The number of robotic assistance systems will increase in the future, especially with regard to assembly applications. Reliable grippers, safety functions, sensors and end-to-end integration at the component level will be vital.

As the competence leader for clamping technology and gripping systems, SCHUNK is intensely committed to this new challenge.

Human/Robot Collaboration: Teamwork in Production Automation

The various forms of interaction between humans and robots are defined by the types of machining areas and forms of contact. A distinction is made between separate and shared machining areas, between decoupled and coupled work processes as well as between levels of contact. The more closely humans and robots work together, the more technologies and components are required to meet higher safety requirements regulated by the relevant standards.

For over 30 years, SCHUNK has been setting the benchmarks for technological innovation and gripping system solutions. Our goal is to open up new and sustainable possibilities for more efficient production automation, whether for full automation, functional safety or human/robot collaboration.

Your Possibilities in Plant Design

EGN EZN

The NEW PGN-plus and PGN-plus-Electric

Full AutomationSeparate machining areas and decoupled work processes. The plant is disconnected from the power supply and production is brought to a standstill when a human enters the production cell.

Functional SafetyShared machining areas with decoupled work processes. The process switches to a slow, safe speed whenever a human enters the area. If the distance becomes too small to ensure safe operation, the system will be stopped and the energy supply will be maintained.

Human/RobotCollaborationShared machining areas with coupled work processes. The cells continue to work, even in the presence of humans. Any human contact with dangerous areas is detected at all times.

Grippersnever losea workpiece

Grippersalways detecthuman contact

Grippersnever cause injuries when gripping

The technology carrier SCHUNK Co-act gripper is based on three principles derived from the HRC standards on human/robot collaboration:

11

With its Co-act gripper, SCHUNK is capturing a trend and focusing on carrier technology in the development of HRC-ready actuators. The aim is for SCHUNK Co-act grippers to directly interact with humans and to communicate in accordance with regulatory requirements.

SCHUNK is defining Human/Robot Collaboration with a Focus on Grippers

Force LimitationGripping force limitation is activated in dangerous situations. Otherwise, the gripper can be operated with any force possible.

Collision ProtectionThe HRC-compatible design eliminates all possible risk of injury as a result of human contact.

Safe DriveGrippers must prevent injuries to humans even with high gripping forces. Gripped parts are held reliably if a process is interrupted.

Environmental Sensor SystemsThe use of different sensors for detecting humans and the environment while simultaneously sensing the workpiece and differentiating it from human hands.

SoftwareGripper software that evaluates and processes the signals of the environmental sensors. This intelligent software empowers the gripper with artificial intelligence.

In implementing these principles, SCHUNK focuses on interactive perfection between the various technologies and components:

Aim: The results of this technology carrier are intended for the specific development of a certified overall Co-act gripper system. In the process, the HRC gripper, finger design with environmental detection as well as other factors such as work environment, robots and workpiece supply are all considered.
