ATI Industrial Automation introduces a high-speed Ethernet Module to enhance robotic tool changer performance
The GBX 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module provides safe and reliable data transmission for advanced automation
Apex, NC, August 28, 2024 - ATI Industrial Automation (ATI) has developed the GBX 10 Gigabit Tool Changer Ethernet Module, designed to allow smart manufacturing processes to optimize performance and flexibility with timely, accurate communication. It excels in high-speed data and signal communication with vision, inspection, metrology, motion control, and fieldbus systems.
Additional features and benefits of ATI's new GBX 10 Gigabit Tool Changer Ethernet Module include:
• Plug-and-play M12 8-pin X-code connectors for safe and reliable pass-through of Cat6/Cat6a industrial Ethernet cables, saving time during integration, with no stripping, crimping, or soldering required.
• Configurable cable exit options between -90°, 0°, and +90° radial positions, allowing users to optimize cable dress and routing to reduce cable strain and maximize system uptime.
• Superior longevity, handling up to one million mating cycles to support applications in advanced industries such as automotive, aerospace, testing, and more.
• Broad compatibility with ATI Standard Tool Changers, Heavy Duty Tool Changers, and Utility Couplers for widespread module standardization.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
