Automation products with a difference

R. A. Rodriquez represents several manufacturers that serve the machine building sector, particularly those involved in automation and linear motion. And the quality of these products are complemented by R. A. Rodriguez high calibre technical support. Customised palletisers The company's long and successful association with IEF Werner is a good example and this has led to R. A. Rodriguez gaining particular expertise in handling systems that provide precise and efficient transfer of items to and from processing lines, often integrating end-of-line processes such as product marking. The ecoSTACK palletiser is becoming a popular choice in this regard. It is aimed at smaller pallet sizes (Euro/4 and Euro/8), requires no pneumatics and there are others in the IEF Werner range of tray handling and palletising systems capable of handling sizes from JEDEC to Euro/1. Modular construction allows all of these systems to be customised cost effectively. They are easily integrated into manufacturing processes and are commonly used in conjunction with Cartesian systems, robots and conveyors to support fully automated production. Highly versatile robots The Universal Robot is also becoming an increasingly important part of the R. A. Rodriguez business. By comparison with other robotic equipment on the market, it distinguishes itself as being collaborative, for tasks that require human interaction. It is easy to use and light weight for easy re-location to another task. The incredible versatility of the six-axis Universal Robot over larger and more cumbersome robots, combined with is significantly reduced installation cost, makes it excellent value for money. It can be programmed to perform an impressive range of functions and installed safely in practically any working environment.
