Stähle will be at the expo with its expanded robot range to meet the needs of next-generation vehicles. In 2018, the company launched a modular solution line to adapt the robot to the vehicle: a clutch pedal in a separate module and a robot arm for the floor shifter to drive manual transmission vehicles. As this cabin configuration becomes less common, some manufacturers no longer require this functionality. As a result, Stähle seized this opportunity to lighten and reduce the size of its robot with a mini block for the accelerator and brake pedals, and a linear robot arm for P/N/D mode changes. The SAP2000 LightWeight is one-third lighter while offering the same performance as its larger counterpart. The advantage of this new model is the undeniable comfort it provides for users who regularly change vehicles – even if a wide range of different shift actuators is required.
