Does Balluff have a simplified solution for robotic grippers?

Balluff simplified solution for robotic grippers

The customer was experiencing excessive downtime due to the relatively low flex rating of a 23 conductor cord set. The cable ran up the dresser pack to the end effector of the robot with many inputs that needed to be returned to the PLC.

Therefore, the customer desperately wanted a solution that could be easily integrated onto the robots, while also offering flexibility to meet the needs of various other end effectors that they may install.
