E-SIGup manipulators
E-SIGUP INDUSTRIAL MANIPULATORS – INTELLIGENT ASSIST DEVICES (IAD)
Discover the new generation of material handling equipment from SIGMA S.A. The E-SIGup electric manipulators are advanced IAD (Intelligent Assist Devices) class systems that redefine the concepts of precision, ergonomics, and safety in modern manufacturing processes.
Innovative technology at the service of ergonomics
E-SIGup industrial manipulators represent the evolution of classic cable-type solutions. Thanks to the use of modern microprocessor architecture and complex control algorithms, these devices have become a seamless extension of the operator's movement intentions.
The key advantage of the E-SIGup series is intelligent assistance, which radically reduces the physical load on employees while simultaneously increasing the efficiency of intralogistics and production processes.
Products presented below are standard products.
Our team is able to adapt ordered equipment to your individual needs.
Intelligent real-time load balancing
Unlike traditional solutions, the E-SIGup system automatically detects the weight of the transported object and performs dynamic balancing in real-time. This process takes place without the need for manual calibration, allowing for instant adaptation to changing operational parameters and different types of products on a single line.
Floating Mode – intuitive load guidance
A unique feature of the E-SIGup category is the integrated "floating mode", which allows the operator to guide the load directly by hand, bypassing the control handle. This solution provides exceptional operational smoothness and maneuvering precision, which is crucial when positioning delicate components in confined spaces. The minimum mass required to activate this mode is only 300 g.
Grippers and mounting systems – customization for the application
As with other SIGMA industrial manipulators, the E-SIGup series offers wide possibilities for adapting dedicated grippers tailored to the specifics of the handled load. Thanks to advanced electronics, accessory integration is more precise and secure:
- Universal gripper connector: Equipped with an integrated scale function, allowing the system to react immediately to changes in load.
- Programmable I/O interface: The controller features communication ports (4xIN 4xOUT 24V), enabling full control over pneumatic, magnetic, or mechanical grippers directly from the manipulator panel.
- Dedicated solutions: The ability to design a gripper for a specific component – from simple hooks to complex vacuum or clamp systems.
- Additional external interface: The option to connect an additional control handle directly at the gripper, which increases ergonomics when handling bulky loads.
Advanced E-SIGup controller – the brain of the system
The heart of the manipulator is a modern controller equipped with a force sensor that reacts to delicate changes in pressure. This eliminates the need to physically move the handle to activate movement.
-
User interface: A TFT touchscreen enables easy configuration and diagnostics, offering separate access levels for operators and service.
-
Safety and diagnostics: The system monitors the device status in real-time, offering an operator hand detection function and a Power Save mode for optimizing energy consumption.
Power supply versatility and "Plug and Play" installation
E-SIGup manipulators have been designed for maximum versatility. The devices operate on a standard electrical power supply (230V AC, 1-phase), eliminating the need for a compressed air installation at the mounting site. Optionally, the devices can work with a pneumatic power supply (min. 6 bar). Thanks to the "Plug and Play" concept, these systems can be quickly integrated with existing infrastructure as:
- Column manipulators: Mounted on rotating columns, ensuring freedom of movement for the articulated arm.
- Mobile manipulators: Mounted on rail systems, ideal for working across a large operating area.
