PROJECT DESCRIPTION
NORT3D PGS develops customized multipurpose gripper systems for handling multi-material parts in industrial and logistics environments. These tools adapt to both automated production lines and logistics warehouses, offering specific solutions for loading, unloading, and handling objects of different shapes and compositions.
The grippers can be implanted on autonomous motion systems such as AGVs/SGVs, or on robotic arms and cobots in fixed positions. This versatility gives handling systems extra autonomy, optimizing cycle times and reducing the need for tool changes.
Thanks to additive manufacturing, the grippers are designed to reduce weight and adapt to the needs of each process, optimizing space and operational performance.
SOLUTION AND TECHNOLOGIES
The NORT3D PGS solution is based on custom design and additive manufacturing to develop multipurpose grippers adapted to the specific needs of each production environment. Thanks to additive manufacturing, lightweight, durable components are achieved, tailored to the dimensional and operational requirements of each process, optimizing both the performance and ergonomics of these tools.
The system stands out for its plug-and-play approach, which facilitates the installation of grippers on various industrial equipment without the need for complex configurations. This integration capability is complemented by its compatibility with collaborative robots (cobots), robotic arms, and AGV/SGV systems, enabling its application in automated lines and smart warehouses.
Furthermore, NORT3D PGS focuses on multipurpose tools that integrate additional functions beyond part handling, such as control, detection, and verification systems, thus avoiding the use of single-task devices and significantly reducing changeover times in production processes.
Contributed innovation
The innovation of NORT3D PGS lies in the convergence of versatility, lightness, and customization through additive manufacturing, offering a flexible solution adapted to the demands of Industry 4.0 and advanced automation environments.
The design optimized by additive manufacturing allows for lighter and more resistant grippers, precisely adapted to the space and load requirements of each industrial process. This weight reduction not only improves the efficiency of robots and cobots but also reduces energy consumption and equipment wear.
Another distinguishing feature is its functional versatility, as a single tool is capable of handling parts of different materials, shapes, and dimensions, eliminating the need for constant tool changes and minimizing downtime on production lines.
Furthermore, the integration of accessory processes within the gripper itself, such as verification systems, part control, or final adjustments, allows multiple operations to be performed in a single step, reducing production cycles and improving the quality of the final product.
Finally, its compatibility with autonomous and collaborative environments ensures optimal adaptation to AGV/SGV systems and robotic stations, increasing operational efficiency in automated plants. All of this translates into reduced operating costs by reducing the number of tools required and optimizing work times.
Thanks to this combination of customization, versatility, and efficiency, NORT3D PGS is positioned as a key solution for companies seeking flexibility, agility, and optimization in their automated handling and logistics processes, especially in sectors such as automotive, logistics, and advanced manufacturing.
