Case Study: Portas Euro-Rapid doubles machine tending capacity with Robotiq's 2F-140 Adaptive Grippers

Portas Euro-Rapid doubles machine tending capacity by 50% with Robotiq

Portas Euro-Rapid, a manufacturer of pipe fittings and couplings, faced significant production downtime due to mechanical flaws in their machine operations. With a small team of only ten employees, they had limited personnel available to address these frequent issues. To overcome this challenge, they worked with Robotiq to implement a machine tending solution utilizing the Robotiq 2F-140 Adaptive Gripper.

The solution from Robotiq involved integrating a Universal Robots UR10 collaborative robot equipped with a 2F-140 Adaptive Gripper to each machine. This automation allowed each employee to operate three machines simultaneously. The integration was completed in just five days, and the results were immediate: Portas Euro-Rapid doubled its machine tending capacity and increased overall productivity by 50%.
