Gain high productivity while minimizing operator injury, with the ultimate power assisted solution, the
Rail Rigid Arm System from Stanley.
The RailCobot System offers the most intuitive power assist technology available with automation features
such as virtual limits and line tracking. The System delivers greater productivity as compared to manual
methods. When the operator begins to push the iGrip, the RailCobot System’s actuators provide instant
power assist in the desired direction at 90% less ergonomic force.

Rail Options
Installation on new or existing rail from all major rail manufacturers. Available in 2 iTrolley (3 runway) or 3 iTrolley (2 runway) configurations depending on the application needs.
|
Hub
Allows programming of system parameters such as speed, sensitivity and virtual limits.
|
|
|
|
iGrip Multi Access Intent Sensor
Advanced technology allows an operator to simply steer the arm by exerting a small force on the Intent Sensor which sends a signal to the iTrolley.
|
|
The RaliCobot system is ideal for applications as automobile seat and door assembly, instrument panel
install, engine/transmission and drive train assembly, handling of large sheet metal, and movement of parts
in and out of racks.
Using Cobotics' iTrolley components, the System easily integrates with most conventional rail
profiles and helps realize the highest performance from overhead rail systems.
Interface with existing or new manipulator
arms
The iTrolley System can add power assist to
existing or new manipulator arms. This addition
maximizes productivity, quality and
ergonomics for arm applications.
Monorail or bridge crane applications.
Using the iTrolley for horizontal movement,
vertical lifting can be accomplished with a
pneumatic or electric cylinder, Cobotics iLift or
air balancer. The System also integrates
seamlessly with end effectors.

Intuitive power assist
The Rail Cobot System provides instantaneous power assist in
response to operator movements. It uses
"intent sensors" to track operator motions
without noticeable delay.
This dramatically reduces the forces that the operator must
apply.
Reduced strain and improved ergonomics
By masking the inertia and momentum of the
arm and load, the iTrolley System greatly
reduces the push/pull forces as well as the
energy required to perform each cycle.
Eliminates overtravel
Stops precisely on the
intended mark, eliminating the productivity
losses associated with repositioning.
Greater productivity
Fast, accurate
movements with improved ergonomics and
semi-automation help operators meet the
ever increasing need to reduce cycle time.
Semi-automation
Using commands such
as line tracking and "return to home," the
iTrolley can automate portions of the load
movement process, freeing operators to
perform secondary tasks. Automated
functionality includes:
- Line tracking capability in which the
system is synchronized with a line or
conveyor, allowing operator and line to
move together easily
for communication
with plant information systems
- Network capable
Error proofing
Virtual surface
capability enables the Rail Cobot to pick
only from a selected rack. This capability
can prevent the use of incorrect parts.
Features
Programmable Hub with RS232 interface
As the high-speed communication link and main
operator interface, the Hub allows for :
- Easy set up, configuration, and programming
of the system with a laptop computer.
- Switching between operator preferences for
speed, acceleration, and sensitivity.
Intent sensors
follow the direct movement of the
operator to provide power assist with no physical
strain. The sensors quantify the speed and
direction of motion that the operator requires.
Proprietary algorithms then direct the system's
movement.
Virtual surfaces and limits
enable the
programming of virtual surfaces, paths or funnels
to ensure swift, efficient movements without
collision or load damage.
Self-contained unit
Each iTrolley is completely
self-contained, with on-board controls requiring
only 120VACpower.
