MATCH is the appropriate name for the new multifunctional end-of-arm platform for robotics from the two handling specialists Schmalz and Zimmer Group. Equipped with an extensive function portfolio and universal communication interfaces, MATCH is compatible with any lightweight robot, cobot and with all conventional 6-axis robots on the market.
With the new MATCH platform, Schmalz and the Zimmer Group bring together the best of two gripping worlds. And this has resulted in something unique: a modular system with which customers can flexibly implement a wide variety of requirements and applications in robotics. Furthermore, in addition to their concentrated solution expertise, both companies offer a worldwide sales network for support and service.
Automated component changes can be made in a storage station or the gripper station without external control.
Manual component changes can be made with just one hand thanks to the ergonomic click system that is integrated in the end effector to be changed.
The quick-change system is hot-plug capable and can be changed under voltage during operation. The integrated pin field transmits both load and signal current.
Four internal and two lateral fluid channels supply connected gripping systems with compressed air or vacuum. The generous dimensioning enables the operation of powerful pneumatic vacuum generators, for example to handle cardboard boxes that suck through.
The high manufacturing guarantees a long service life (> 100,000 cycles). An anti-rotation device ensures a clearly defined position of the loose part relative to the fixed part and a clearly defined orientation of the end effector in the deposit station.
The installation of MATCH is extremely simple. The system can be conveniently mounted and set up on the robot flange in just a few steps. Thanks to the support of the common ecosystem with a smart communication module and useful digital services, parameterization is easy from control (Expert Mode, Guided Setup, Monitor of Device, and Comfort app) to cloud connection via the Schmalz Connect Suite intuitively and easily.
