SherpaLoader® T25

Yaskawa
6-axis industrial robot

SHERPA Robotics relies on the proven robot technology of YASKAWA, a leading manufacturer of industrial robots with over 100 years of experience in the field of automation. The SherpaLoader® uses 6-axis robots from the GP series, with a payload of 25 kg, 50 kg and 88 kg.

Adaptive adjustable grippers
for hand-held inserts

As a long-term system partner, SHERPA Robotics equips its robot cells with ZIMMER handling technology. Round bar blanks are clamped with 3-jaw centric grippers, edge material and shafts with 2-jaw parallel grippers. The gripper fingers are quickly and precisely positioned in a large adjustment range using a pointed toothing.

Electric spindle drive
with torque control

The SherpaLoader® automates machining centers that do not have a rotary union for connecting pneumatic or hydraulic clamping devices using an electric torque screwdriver. The tightening torque for clamping components and the opening angle when releasing clamped components are set via the dialog control and are saved in the order.

Dialogue control with
17 inch touch display

The robot cell is operated via a dialog control with a graphical user interface. Operators can set up new orders in no time at all on a 17" touch display, without any programming knowledge for robot controls. The use of clear symbols and understandable input masks provide context-related support. For technically oriented employees, order creation is self-explanatory.

Compressed air cleaning against
coolants and chips

Cleanliness is crucial when working with precision. The SherpaLoader® is equipped with a blow nozzle to clean the clamping device of the processing machine with compressed air before loading and to remove residues from components after processing.

Universal interface for
common processing machines

The SherpaLoader® is just as compatible with new machines as it is with existing machines. For around 10 years, machine tools have been offering bus interfaces for connecting automation systems. The SherpaLoader® uses the widely used Profibus, Profinet and EtherNet/IP standards. If no bus interface is available, SHERPA Robotics equips existing systems with interfaces using M-functions and potential-free contacts. In compliance with guidelines and without the need for costly commissioning of the machine manufacturer.

Remote maintenance
with online diagnosis

The SherpaLoader® has a remote maintenance interface for remote support. If necessary, the diagnostic memory can be read out, adjustments to the control system and software updates can be carried out without a service technician having to travel. This ensures rapid troubleshooting and reduces downtime. The connection is secured by TSL 1.2 and RSA 2048 with asymmetric key exchange and perfect forward secrecy through Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral Handshake, the security standard for online banking.
