Rethink Robotics – Sawyer BLACK Edition

More durable, quieter, higher-quality

One year after the acquisition by the Rethink Robotics GmbH, the hardware of cobot Sawyer has reached a new level of quality thanks to German engineering. This makes the Sawyer BLACK Edition a high-performing cobot to support your production.

The high performer for precision tasks

Sawyer continues to serve in the BLACK edition as the easy to use, flexible and highly accepted collaborative robot. With Sawyer BLACK Edition, processes that could not simply be automated with industrial robots in the past can be automated quickly and easily – like for example machine loading, circuit board tests, and other dangerous, dirty, and dull tasks.

Sawyer comes as a complete solution, including the lntera software and two integrated embedded vision systems.

Train by Demonstration: Easy Application

The lntera software gives Sawyer its unique user interface: The robot can be trained for new tasks by guiding its arm freely and demonstrating the movements of the procedure. The arm is operated with the use of integrated buttons. This allows the direct input of settings and functions.
The robot is up and running to perform a task within a matter of minutes. No other cobot becomes productive in such a short period of time, which leads to a rapid ROI.

Embedded Vision: Flexibility

Sawyer’s embedded vision system – along with the lntera software – allows the robot‘s positioning system to provide for a dynamic and flexible reorientation and adjustment to the environment. In combination with the
easy-to-set landmarks, Sawyer can quickly be deployed in various positions, adapt after being relocated, and promote a rapid and flexible operational readiness. This enables a wide variety of applications without requiring additional hardware, software, or integration.

Force Sensing: High Acceptance

Sawyer permanently controls its joint torque and position simultaneously.
By monitoring both variables, Sawyer controls and feels the amount of force it applies in different directions, the same way people do when performing tasks, without the need to add sensors or additional hardware. The animated eyes, combined with more silent operation, make Sawyer BLACK Edition even more popular among employees.
