4 Case Studies
A HBM / HBK Case Study
Siléane, a company developing robotic gripping systems, faced a challenge for a cosmetics manufacturer where advanced robots lacked the ability to verify a secure grip on delicate trays, risking product quality. They partnered with HBK to find a solution using a proven load cell.
HBK upgraded their PW22 load cell into the intelligent PW22i model, adding IO-Link connectivity and diagnostics. By integrating four of these sensors into each gripper, Siléane achieved real-time grip validation, greatly improved process reliability, and faster setup with reduced wiring.
