STANDARDISATION OF THE ROBOT INTERFACEThe MATCH series offers one-of-a-kind standardization potential: The MATCH robot module can be mounted to the most common robot types and acts as the connection for the entire range of MATCH-compatible end effectors. These unified robot connecting flanges offer a high degree of flexibility in the choice of applications. The attached end effectors, whether grippers or suction cups, can easily be replaced manually or automatically using the click system. Standardized and ready-to-connect solutions guarantee maximum system availability.
PLUG & WORK – SIMPLIFIED COMMUNICATION INTERFACEIn addition to a uniform mechanical connection between the robot arm and end effector, MATCH also simplifies machine communication. MATCH robot modules are available in digital I/O and IO-Link variants and also have their own smart communication modules as an option. MATCH provides the required communication parameters for integrating robots from different manufacturers into the MATCH system via plug & work.
ECOSYSTEM – LARGE SELECTION OF END EFFECTORSThe MATCH portfolio includes a large selection of grippers from Zimmer Group. This is not limited to the use of cobots, i.e., human-robot collaborations, but also includes industrial robots. In addition to grippers from Zimmer Group, end effectors with vacuum technology from Schmalz are also compatible with the MATCH system. The MATCH ecosystem is not only made of physical components but also includes various software solutions: A Comfort app coordinated with the specific robot manufacturer enables direct control and monitoring of functions.
COMPLEX ROBOT APPLICATIONS WITH AUTOMATED REPLACEMENTIncreased efficiency thanks to the flexible use of robots is the future of automated production. The same single robot can perform various tasks on a workpiece through the automated replacement of the end effector. Standardization also makes things simpler for the operators and integrators.
In addition to the automated replacement of end effectors, the MATCH product range also enables different robot types and systems to use the same suction cup or gripper. The key components here are the MATCH robot modules, which are available for a variety of robots from the most common manufacturers.
