ATI demonstrated its latest industrial robotic solutions at Fabtech 2023

The Fabtech show came to McCormick Place in Chicago, IL, September 11-14. Visitors were able to get an up-close look at all the latest ATI products and solutions. ATI showcased a variety of live robotic demonstrations covering a diverse range of applications and industries including:

A live grinding and sanding process showcased the CGV-900 Compliant Angle Grinder and AOV-10 Robotic Orbital Sander. A FANUC M-10iD/16 robot was using ATI QC-29 Robotic Tool Changers with an attached large air port module, to switch between the grinding and sanding tools.

In a large cell, ATI also demonstrated how their Tool Changers are used to automatically switch large end-effectors. A FANUC R-1000iA/80F robot, utilizing ATI QC-210 Heavy Automation Tool Changers, simulated the joining of automotive B-pillar assemblies by tool changing between an Atlas Copco K-Flow flow drill fastening tool and an Atlas Copco SCA industrial dispensing tool.

Kane Robotics’ GRIT-ST automated grinding system demonstrated how grinding welds can easily be accomplished with ATI’s CGV-900 Compliant Angle Grinder, Universal Robots’ UR10e cobot, and 3M Abrasives Cubitron II media.

Additionally ATI displayed the new MC-50 Manual Tool Changer. With intuitive and ergonomic lever operation, the patent-pending MC-50 provides a simple solution for quickly changing robotic end-of-arm tooling by hand. This compact and robust Tool Changer is designed for applications on collaborative robots that support payloads up to 25 kg and small industrial robots supporting payloads up to 10 kg.
