One of the most widely used stackable storage boxes is the KLT Box (also called Eurobox), which complies with the VDA 4500 standard. The boxes are often placed on shelves in warehouses.

Naturally, the end-of-arm cobot tool handling the KLT boxes should be able to grip the boxes even when there is very little space available above the box.

At Graspian, we have developed an end-of-arm tool dedicated to handling KLT boxes stacked compactly on shelves.

This tool is an excellent example of the kind of end-of-arm tool solutions we tailor-make for our customers.

Cleaning in office areas and public buildings requires many hours of manual labor every day. This kind of work is an example of repetitive work that often requires awkward work positions and therefore wear down the cleaning staff.

This video demonstrates how a facility cleaning cobot that Graspian has developed cleans canteen tables.

Demonstration of Tactile gripping tool

Tomato picking

Picking a fragile object with and without tactile sensors.

Tomato picking – Picking a fragile object with and without tactile sensors.

Robotic picking of a fragile object, like a tomato, is not easy. In this experiment we demonstrate how a standard gripper acts with and without tactile feedback to the robot.

On the left side of the demonstration, the tomato is squashed when the gripping tool engages

On the right side, the gripper gently detects the tomato, then ensures a central contact point before the gripper locks in and engages with the object

TOMATO PICKING – Picking an object in an unknown location

Computer vision is a helpful tool for detecting, identifying and locating of a random object. However, any fine and delicate interaction between gripping tool and object is better controlled with tactile sensors placed right at the point of contact.

In this demonstration, the rough position of the tomato is captured by a camera, while contact is accurately captured by tactile sensors. This ensures that any object is delicately handled by the robot system.

Our engineers like to challenge any technology. In this demonstration, the tomato is forced out of the gripping tool, so that the robot reverts to detecting location and re-picking of the tomato

EGG PICKUP – Finding a good contact point

By rotating the gripping tool, the any object feature like edges and curved surfaces can be identified. Hereby, the egg is handled with the optimum grip location.

LIFTING A BOTTLE – Fast closing of gripping tool

A proximity sensor detects the distance from tool to object. Before the tool reaches contact with the object, the motor speed is sufficiently slow to allow for the tactile sensors to feed contact information to the control of the tool.
