SherpaVision®
Symbiosis of 3D-
camera and laser

The heart of the system is the 3D camera laser system. It detects workpieces where you have placed them, without grid plates, stops or matrices. This saves you from constantly having to retool mechanical devices, laborious programming of change magazines and expensive and vulnerable rotary and stacking tables. A cover flap covers the optical sensors when used in harsh operating conditions.

YASKAWA
6-Axis Industrial Robots
image

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

Adaptive Grippers
for any Workpiece
image

As a long-standing system partner, SHERPA Robotics equips its robot cells with ZIMMER handling technology. Cylinders are clamped with 3-jaw centric grippers, while square material and shafts use 2-jaw parallel grippers. The gripper fingers are quickly and accurately adjusted over a wide range with fine-tooth gearing.

Electric Spindle Drive
with Torque Control
image

Automating mechanical vises, the SherpaLoader® features an electric drive to clamp and release the vise. Torque and opening angle for releasing clamped parts are controlled with the touch display, and saved with each job. This allows even machining centers without pneumatic or hydraulic rotary unions to be automated.

Intuitive
17-Inch Dialog Control
image

The robot cell is controlled via a 17-inch touch display, featuring a user-friendly graphical interface similar to a smartphone. Clear symbols and intuitive input screens offer context-sensitive guidance, making the setup process efficient for technical staff. Operators can set up new jobs without any programming knowledge. It’s as easy as 1-2-3!

Air Blow
for Coolant and Chip Removal
image

Cleanliness is key to precision work. The SherpaLoader® is equipped with an air nozzle to clean the clamping device of the machining center before loading blanks and to remove coolant and chips from parts after machining.

Universal interface
for all major production machines
image

The SherpaLoader® is compatible with both new and existing machines. For the past decade, machine tools have offered bus interfaces for automation. The SherpaLoader® supports popular standards like Profibus, Profinet, and EtherNet/IP. For machines without a bus interface, SHERPA uses M-Functions and floating relay contacts. This helps customers to avoid costly retrofitting by the original machine manufacturer.

Remote Diagnostics
and Maintenance

Every SherpaLoader® is equipped with an online diagnostics and remote maintenance interface. When needed, service technicians access machine logs, adjust the control system, and perform software updates remotely, ensuring fast troubleshooting and minimal downtime. Customers maintain full control over the interface, which connects securely to the maintenance server using TLS 1.2 and RSA 2048 asymmetric key exchange—the same security standard used in online banking.
