- 2026-02-04 - Capability - Red Cable Robots adopts KEBA wireless controls for large-area cable robots
The handheld terminal combines a landscape display with an accessible three-position enabling device, allowing operators to move around the workspace while keeping the robot in view. The cable platform supports standard grippers and coordinated movement in six degrees of freedom for palletizing and depalletizing tasks. The company selected its display orientation, buttons and branding through KEBA's HMI configurator; one terminal can operate several robot systems.
