"Wyzo, the first high-speed pick & place sidebot, is now available for companies making their first steps into automation, as well as for large manufacturers looking for versatility," said a company spokesperson. "Compact and agile, Wyzo works safely side-by-side with humans without the need for protective barriers or performance compromises." This new approach to collaborative production is suited for lightweight applications in the automotive, electrical, electronics and other sectors."
"While traditional pick & place robots are large and work on fully automated lines separated from operators by protective doors, Wyzo's advanced safety system allows it to collaborate with humans in close proximity," said the spokesperson. "Due to the high-tech robotic arm and built-in or external vision systems, the sidebot finds and picks products at 80 cycles per minute with a payload of half a kilogram.
Through its advanced sensor technology, Wyzo constantly monitors its surroundings for the presence of human activity, allowing it to maximize performance when on its own and slow down to a safe operating speed when a human is in close proximity. "As a result, manufacturers can now enjoy the performance of an industrial robot combined with the versatility and compact size of a cobot," said the spokesperson.
To meet a variety of production needs, Wyzo is designed to fit anywhere on the production floor. At less than 0.5 sq. m and 1.80 m in height, the sidebot fits through standard doors and elevators, offering flexibility with a small footprint. It can easily be moved from one workstation to another, eliminating bottlenecks and enabling fast ROI.
For manufacturers switching between products, Wyzo is highly compatible with all regular grippers on the market and features changeover speeds of less than nine seconds. To meet ever-changing production demands, it also offers integrated pneumatic, electric and vacuum controls.
Wyzo's human machine interface (HMI) is simplified for intuitive use by operators with no prior training in automated solutions. "Its mobile terminal is as easy to operate as a smartphone and requires neither script nor programming to get Wyzo up and running," said the spokesperson. "Based on more than 30 years of software development for Delta robots, Wyzo's state-of-the-art pick & place software has been specially refined for ease of use and control."
