DENSO robotics

The requirements and challenges caused by the use of robots are becoming more and more varied, especially due to the wide range of tasks. Thanks to the large selection of Zimmer Group end effectors, the challenges and requirements for a wide range of application areas are covered and, together with the ecosystem of DENSO robots, pave the way for automation with industrial-level performance and innovative safety and reliability.

In particular, the MATCH ecosystem ensures maximum compatibility and flexibility in handling thanks to the universal, robot-specific standardized communication interface. Grippers and vacuum systems are both possible. This not only brings together speed with maximum precision, it also bridges the gaps between collaborative and industrial robots – even in applications that require speed and lifting capacity on an industrial level.

  • New options in production processes thanks to robot-based implementation of complex work steps

Application areas

THE ECOSYSTEM

With easy installation and a standardized MATCH interface, DENSO robots can be combined with the product portfolio of the Zimmer Group quickly and without complications. Vacuum grippers from J. Schmalz GmbH can also be used with the MATCH ecosystem. This not only simplifies optimal adjustment to constantly changing production requirements and processes, but also enables unproblematic use for future applications and projects.

The large selection of end effectors from Zimmer Group is especially paving the way for automation by opening up a wide variety of application areas. The ready-made package from Zimmer Group – consisting of hardware and software components – combines DENSO robots and gripper technologies into a uniform system.

Simplified machine communication is ensured with the standardized, mechanical combination of DENSO robots and MATCH robot modules from Zimmer Group. With the help of the MATCH ecosystem, all essential communication parameters are received by the robots, ensuring fast integration without complications. The combination of the two ecosystems from DENSO and Zimmer Group opens up new spheres in terms of performance, versatility, affordability and operability.

SMART COMMUNICATION MODULE FOR DENSO ROBOTS

Speedy commissioning thanks to ready-to-connect communication modules

Thanks to the ready-to-connect communication modules from Zimmer Group, activating and integrating intelligent IO-Link and Digital IO grippers with cobots and industrial robots from DENSO is as easy as can be. Here, the Smart Communication Module (SCM) from Zimmer Group translates the IO-Link communication system into digital inputs and outputs (Digital I/O) and vice versa, thus ensuring data exchange to the robot control system for the most information possible. To set up this information exchange optimally and as simply as possible, prepared cable sets for DENSO robots are available.
 

Compatible with all IO-Link grippers

No matter which grippers from Zimmer Group you have, all IO-Link gripper components can be used with the right adapter plate between the specific DENSO robot flange and ISO pitch circle. As a gateway for the end effector, the SCM – an integrated communication module – communicates with the robot control system. This ensures complete and simultaneously easy activation of the end effector, without losses and with maximum safety and reliability. The uniform interface ensures maximum compatibility with DENSO robots. The voltage is supplied directly by the robot in order to transfer information from the robot flange to the DENSO RC8A robot control system (Hand-IO) reliably and without faults.

Maximum convenience with intuitive software

The combination of the Comfort app and TP-RC7/8 control panel enables convenient and direct activation and programming of the gripper functions using the teach pendant, thus combining the benefits of an easy setup, including essential commands for efficient and smooth automatic operation. The robots from DENSO and the extensive portfolio of end effectors from Zimmer Group ensure the perfect conditions for highly precise, optimal automation with industrial robots and collaborative robotics.
