Physical Control & Signal Devices

3D Mouse Move is a plugin to control the robot in real time and in any arbitrary direction or rotation. Simply, once you shift and tilt the SpaceMouse, the robot tool will follow the same tilt and shift. UR users position the robot easily by hands using the freedrive button. Yet, when the robot is out of the operator’s reach, 3D Mouse Move replicates the same intuitive experience. Such cases happen if the robot is inside another room or within inaccessible areas by the operator. 3D Mouse Move can be used to teach the robot during programming or controlling the robot real-time to perform tasks such as scanning, painting, shooting a video, pick-and-place, etc.

Teach Pendant with 3-Position Enabling Device, compatible with all e-Series robots. The Teach Pendant is ergonomically designed for easy operation with either hand. Fully integrated design features simple plug-and-play installation with no additional wiring needed. Natively supported in Polyscope 5.10 and higher, with no URCap needed.

The NAST Automation 5 LED signal light is designed for visual monitoring of the production process, changes in status and faults. A comfortable URCap simplifies installation and programming.

The easy way to tele-operate Universal Robots: Advanced Mechanics Assistance System (AMAS) from Extend Robotics allows a Universal Robot to be tele-operated by a remote user over the Internet. Using an off-the-shelf virtual reality headset and handsets, intuitive arm-and-hand gestures can be used to control the robot in every degree-of-freedom and actuate the end-effectors.Within the AMAS virtual reality environment, user is immersed in a game-like 3D representation of the robot's workspace. This 3D environment is generated using a small peripheral SenseKit attachment that fits to the base of the Universal Robot. Thereby allowing a non-technical user to tele-operate the arm from any remote location over any network, either local or Internet.Why is this useful? Tele-operation can be used in situations where it is hard to achieve full automation. It can also be used to maintain continuity in workflows at times when it is inconvenient to go into the workplace (for example: unloading a 3D-print or a CNC machine over the weekend; refreshing the feedstock; or initiating a new job). Please contact us if you need any further information or would like a demonstration.

Dardo is a vision-based pointing device that allows unprecedented fast and precise cobot teaching, including waypoints and whole trajectories. Dardo is composed of a pen-shaped, totally passive pointing device and a flange-mounted camera. Dardo has been designed having in mind precision-sensitive applications such as welding. Check out Dardo, your next tool for precise and easy robot programming.

Via the “functionally safe” radio connection, the M2Smart®️ HMI10 makes it possible to meet the high requirements in terms of safety equipment of a machine or a robot even with a wireless control system. Both the emergency stop button, which is obligatory in this environment, and a three-stage enabling button (3 PE) are located directly on the mobile handheld computer. The corresponding signals are transmitted to the M2Smart®️ Gateway via a black-channel-secured BT-compatible short-range radio.

Mimic is an intuitive software platform that captures and transfers workers’ organic hand movements into robots by demonstration. It allows automation of complex tool paths that are too difficult and time consuming to program with a traditional point-to-point approach. It is a modular and open software platform, which means that users maintain control of their robot, can use their own tracking technology and work with both handheld and robotic tools they already know. The Mimic UR Kit consists of Nordbo Robotics’ pose tracker sensor and a corresponding URCap, ensuring an easy plug and play experience. Robots equipped with Mimic enable flexible automation of surface treatment in application areas of grinding, sanding, deburring, painting and pouring. There Mimic provides scalable flexibility as it does not require a robotics expert on-site to tweak and rearrange a production schedule. Workers can reconfigure their own production in a matter of hours, and without external involvement.

The Signal LED URCap brings intelligent status visualization to Universal Robots without requiring any manual URScript programming. Control your existing signal towers, warning lights, and buzzers directly through an intuitive PolyScopeX interface that automatically responds to robot state changes.

The ProLight is a visual indication, to reduce user hazards. A robot designed for collaborative operation shall provide a visual indication according to robotic safety requirements R15.06 and ISO 10218. The ProLight indicates with blue light that the robot is in operation, with red light a human interaction necessary and white light that the Cobot is off/no operation. This visualization ProLight ring is retrofittable for all types of UR robots: UR3/UR3e, UR5/UR5e, UR10/UR10e, UR16e. Additionally the ProLight has round edges to protect user of sharp-edged UR tool interface. Generally the ProLight reduces hazard for users.

RECDrive is an innovative solution designed to simplify interaction with e-Series robots by enabling free movement and precise trajectory recording without the need for a teach pendant. With its integrated hardware and software, users can quickly and intuitively capture positions and paths, streamlining programming and enhancing collaborative teaching.

The Signal Multi LED URCap brings professional multi-channel LED control to Universal Robots without requiring any manual URScript programming. Complex signaling systems with up to 5 independent LED outputs plus a dedicated buzzer channel can now be configured entirely through an intuitive PolyScopeX interface.

An immediate proven teleoperation solution for the constrained working environments in industries and research centers. Specifically, the TeleRobotic Extender, aka TREX, combined with a manipulator arm VIRTUOSE 6D TAO offers the operator an intuitive control through physical feel, and immediate control of remote e-series of Universal Robots, without the need for prior programming. Technical features of TREX provide the best possible complementarity between the safety and precision of robotics on the one hand, and the manual dexterity of the operator on the other. The handling of the e-series of Universal Robots is natural and working tasks are done with much more confidence. The plug work solution keeps available the original ECU of the e-series of Universal Robots for the automation experts. In a word, TREX is complementary to automation.
