SMC’s solutions for robotics

Industrial robots and collaborative solutions: Shaping the future of manufacturing

In today's industrial landscape, robots and humans are working more closely than ever. Industrial robots are increasingly taking over production plants, while humans contribute their strategic thinking, creativity, and attention to detail.

The advantages of using robots in an industrial environment are numerous. We believe SMC can be "Your Right Arm" in Industrial Robotics. Our international teams of experts are ready to support you with your daily challenges, and our local and European technical centers are prepared to develop any customized solution you might need as our products are designed to enhance efficiency and innovation in your operations.

One of the most exciting advancements in robotics is the development of collaborative robots, or cobots. These robots are designed to work alongside humans, enhancing productivity and safety. Cobots are equipped with advanced sensors and software that allow them to interact seamlessly with human workers, making tasks easier and more efficient.

SMC's End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) plays a crucial role in maximizing the performance of cobots. Our EOAT solutions, including electric grippers, vacuum grippers, and multi-hand adapters, are designed to be easily integrated with various cobot models. These tools enhance the versatility and efficiency of cobots by enabling them to handle a wide range of tasks, from precise assembly to complex material handling.

Our EOAT solutions for industrial robots are equipped with features like wireless communication, which ensures seamless connectivity and flexibility in motion. This allows cobots to operate without the constraints of traditional cabling, improving their operational reach and reducing maintenance costs. Additionally, our automatic tool changers enable quick and easy exchange of end effectors, further enhancing the adaptability and productivity of your robots.

Discover SMC’s innovative, energy-efficient, and lightweight solutions for indust rial and collaborative robotics, and see how we can be your right arm in automation.
