Overcoming Challenges: Our Solutions

The Problem

Portas Euro-Rapid manufactures fittings and couplings to join pipes together. Mechanical flaws slowed machine operations, causing a lot of downtime with limited personnel available to fix issues.

The Solution

Integrating Robotiq 2F-140 Adaptive Grippers and Universal Robots UR10 to each machine allowed each employee to take care of three machines. Now their machines run full-time and production capacity has doubled.

The Results

Lean robotics at their best.

Robotiq’s Machine Tending Solution brought benefits on many levels:

  • Design: Robotiq 2F-140 Adaptive Grippers allowed to program different positions and tailor them perfectly for each part of the process.
  • Integrate: The integration took less than a week. Most employees didn’t know anything about robots. They spent a few hours learning how to program, how to make the grippers work, and how the machines had to work.
  • Operate: Now their machines run full-time and production capacity has doubled.
