■ Setec

Setec is a company specializing in the production and development of strain gauge-based sensors, and was the first in Korea to develop and mass-produce a rotary torque transducer and a torque-integrated automatic screwdriver, the nutrunner.

This companyIt is steadily exported to Asian regions including China, Vietnam, Singapore, India, and Eastern Europe. Starting in 2023, we will open a sales office in China and work to expand into the Chinese market.

Setec is exhibiting the 'SRX-SQV' model, a short-axis nutrunner robot.

Users can easily obtain accurate and precise screw tightening torque values by using the SRX-SQV, which combines a nutrunner with a built-in high-precision torque transducer, a screw automatic ball system, and a vacuum pickup system for the tightening automation process without a separate design.

■ Thin grip

ThinGrip is a startup specializing in electric grippers founded by a robotics engineer with 25 years of experience. It has dedicated processing equipment for core components and automatic gripper inspection equipment.

It includes a ‘rotary type with a wide grip range’, a ‘parallel type with stable grip’, and an ‘adaptive type with stable grip over a wide range’ product, so customers can choose according to their application, and it has a built-in absolute encoder so that the position of the finger can be known without movement when power is supplied.

This exhibition will showcase the Optimum series of 5kg class electric grippers for robots.
