WHAT SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS WOULD WE SEE IN EFFICIENCY, QUALITY, OR COSTS WITH THE INTEGRATION OF A ROBOTIC SOLUTION?

by

The integration of a robotic welding solution does not simply replace manual labor, but transforms the entire production process. The benefits are mainly reflected in three key areas, which are constantly monitored by the industry: production efficiency, weld quality, and operating costs per part. These improvements are recognized worldwide and proven by the actual performance … Read more

Motoman MH24-10 “high speed”: an efficient alternative for automated welding

by
Yaskawa Motoman MH24-10 robot in a compact arc welding cell with positioner

Motoman MH24-10 welding applications are possible — but the robot needs to be understood correctly before it is specified for a welding cell. That is the first thing any engineer evaluating it for a welding application needs to understand — and it is the starting point for an honest assessment of where this robot delivers … Read more

PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE IN INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS: SENSORS, DATA AND MINIMISING DOWNTIME

by

At the heart of many automated factories, a group of robots works tirelessly for hundreds of hours on end. But what happens if one of these machines fails unexpectedly? An unplanned stoppage can cost thousands of euros per hour, result in lost orders and delayed deliveries. This is where predictive maintenance steps in: instead of … Read more

What is the total cost of investing in a robotic welding solution, including the robot, integration, software, and training?

by
Robotic welding cell with industrial robot, welding torch, and positioner in a manufacturing facility

When companies ask about robotic welding cost, they usually mean the price of the robot itself. That is a natural starting point — but it captures only 25 to 35 percent of the real investment. The remaining 65 to 75 percent goes to everything that makes the robot actually weld: integration, welding equipment, programming, training, … Read more

How Does URT Measure the Success of an Arc Welding Robotic Integration Project?

by

The effectiveness of a robotic welding integration project is determined by tangible outcomes in several crucial aspects. First and foremost, the quality of the weld bead is of utmost importance, as it directly impacts the strength, safety, and compliance with regulations. High-quality robotic welding results in fewer defects such as porosity, lack of fusion, undercut, … Read more

PREDICTIVE VS CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE IN INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS

by

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

KUKA KR30-3 ON RAIL WITH TWO ROTARY POSITIONERS: INDUSTRIAL CHALLENGES AND ADVANTAGES FOR PRODUCTION LINES

by

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

THE USED ROBOT ECONOMY: UNDERSTANDING THE TRUE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP (TCO) VERSUS A NEW ROBOT

by

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

ABB IRB 1300: precision and speed in electronic assembly

by
ABB IRB 1300 robot performing precision assembly in an electronics manufacturing cell

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
