Phoenix Robotics lifting column for cobots

The Phoenix Robotics lifting column is extremely versatile and can be used in various industries. It is particularly effective for robotic tasks such as palletizing and depalletizing, which account for a large proportion of automation requirements.

Yale BatteryStar ™: 1,000 kg. Cordless. Mobile

Our new battery-powered BatteryStar™ chain hoist from Yale® offers the lifting power and speed of an electric chain hoist with the mobility of a manual hoist, without the need for time-consuming manual operation or access to a power source. The chain hoist delivers lifting power for loads up to one ton in a travel range of 6 m, e.g. for heavy outdoor work without a power connection.

Why CMCO Customer Exchange & Show? Many guests asked themselves this question. The answer was clear: CMCO did not want to create an ordinary trade fair atmosphere, but a unique experience that offered space for personal encounters and networking. The Customer Exchange was enriched by inspiring presentations, while the show delighted visitors with product highlights and opened up exciting new solutions.
