Stefan Klebert, CEO of Schuler AG, said: “We are very proud to have been selected for the Red Dot Award.”
The Crossbar Robot 4.0 transfers parts from one stage of a press line to the next. It can remove up to four parts at a time from the die, change their orientation where necessary, and place them directly into the next die in a single action. It can also convey up to 15 parts per minute.
The robot is ideal for automating conventional mechanical and hydraulic press lines as well as for retrofitting existing lines. Schuler has already received orders for the robot from numerous car manufacturers and their suppliers.
The Red Dot Award is one of the world’s most prestigious design awards and was first bestowed 60 years ago. Schuler’s Crossbar Robot 4.0 now joins illustrious past winners from companies such as Festo, Adidas and Apple.
