Industrial robots, like any machinery, require regular maintenance. But the key question is: do we act before a failure occurs or after it? Predictive maintenance redefines efficiency by anticipating breakdowns and optimising resources. Corrective: The Traditional Model Corrective maintenance takes place after a failure: when a servomotor stops, an axis loses calibration or a controller … Read more
A recent video showcases a robotic cell featuring a KUKA KR30-3 mounted on a linear rail (track) and paired with two rotary positioners as part of an advanced handling or welding solution. This configuration is gaining ground as a flexible alternative for production lines, though it is not without challenges. Eurobots, as a provider of … Read more
Purchasing a robot is not simply a technical decision. In reality, it is a financial one. Many companies believe that the most expensive robot is the best, or that buying new is the safest way to “avoid risks”. However, when looked at from a business perspective, with numbers and strategy in mind, the reality is … Read more
The ABB IRB 1300 is one of ABB’s most capable compact 6-axis robots for high-speed, precision applications. It is designed specifically for environments where floor space is at a premium, cycle time matters, and the application requires both speed and path accuracy — electronics assembly, machine tending, polishing, inspection, and testing. This article covers the … Read more
In today’s age of intelligent automation, the real advantage for industrial companies lies not just in acquiring advanced robots, but in integrating entire systems that encompass hardware, software, safety features, and operator training. URT exemplifies this approach by evolving from a simple supplier of industrial robots into a full-service integrator. They specialise in delivering turnkey … Read more
Modern agriculture faces a challenge: producing more with fewer personnel and ever-increasing costs. Automation has become a necessity, not a luxury. However, many producers—especially medium and small ones—believe that bringing robotics to the field is beyond their reach. The reality is different: refurbished industrial robots are opening a new era for precision agriculture, offering advanced, … Read more
The KUKA KR 510 R3080, part of KUKA’s QUANTEC/FORTEC family, is one of the most powerful high-payload industrial robots available on the market. Designed to handle extremely large and heavy parts—with a nominal payload of around 510 kg and a reach exceeding 3 meters—it offers a combination of strength, reach, and repeatability that makes it … Read more
In the world of industrial automation, medium-payload robots represent an ideal balance between strength and agility. Among them, the FANUC M-710iC/50 has established itself as a reliable solution for processes that demand precision, speed, and adaptability. Supported by URT, this model remains a competitive alternative for companies seeking to optimize their operations with a cost-effective … Read more
The integration of 3D vision with used robots is taking operational precision to a whole new level. The combination of robotics and three-dimensional vision systems has profoundly revolutionized industrial manufacturing: not only does it enable the automation of complex processes, but it also allows production lines to be quickly adapted to the specific needs of … Read more
The decision between new vs refurbished robots is not a question of quality. According to the International Federation of Robotics, refurbished and used industrial robots account for a significant share of total robot installations globally, particularly in SME and general manufacturing environments where capital efficiency drives equipment decisions. It is a question of fit. A … Read more
