GASTONIA, N.C. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Cross Company Robotics and Machine Automation announced that they are now an exclusive distributor for AIRSKIN, an innovative product from Blue Danube that allows almost any robot to work collaboratively with humans.
“We are so excited to bring this product to our customers,” remarked Cross Automation Group President, Lynn Crump. “This technology allows us to make applications with larger payloads collaborative, which wouldn’t have been possible in the past.”
AIRSKIN is a series of soft, thin, and flexible pads that cover the surface of a robot or linear actuator. Each pad is filled with air that senses changes in pressure when it comes in contact with something in its environment. The small pressure change caused by the contact triggers an emergency stop to prevent injury. It is important to note that some robotic applications will never be collaborative due to the nature of the process; however, when installed correctly AIRSKIN meets ISO 15066 requirements for a collaborative robot.
In addition to making industrial robots collaborative, AIRSKIN can also improve the efficiency of collaborative robots, such as those made by Universal Robots. Because of the added layer of protection, there is less force on contact which allows collaborative robots to move faster than typically permitted to meet collaborative guidelines.
"Blue Danube Robotics is proud to have Cross Company as a strong distribution and integration partner for AIRSKIN in the southeastern region of the United States”, said Johannes Marktl, Head of Sales at Blue Danube Robotics. Cross Company is an exclusive distributor for AIRSKIN in the Southeastern US, including Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi.
