HC10DTP and HC20DTP are the two new six-axis collaborative robotic arms for applications such as assembly, dispensing, machine maintenance, material handling, packaging and welding. Designed by Yaskawa Motoman. Each robot has four modes of collaborative operation and can switch between collaborative speed in PFL mode and maximum speed in industrial mode, meeting established safety requirements
According to Eric Potter, general manager of FANUC America’s General Industries and Automotive Segment, “The new M-1000iA is FANUC’s largest serial link robot to date.” ” Current needs have changed requiring new solutions to process very large parts with greater versatility and better use of the work area. Especially in applications such as processing and
Collaborative robots (cobots) were first designed to perform highly repetitive, low-weight work that allows them to operate safely alongside human workers without the need to design and build bulky fences or barriers, providing maximum flexibility and efficiency; in the assistance of machines, assembly and minor packaging processes. In recent years, its capabilities have grown. Cobots
According to Automation World’s recent robotics adoption survey, some vertical industries saw a significant increase in investment in robotics due to the need to socially distance, reorient supply chains and increase throughput, and others saw investment paralysis. As demand for their products fell, their decision-making process was paralyzed by political and economic uncertainty. Despite the
There is considerable economic benefit in recent years thanks to technological advances and the implementation of artificial intelligence in robotic automation solutions. The use of robots in various industrial processes and production lines has become a topic of interest again due to the technical advances in companies and the mobility limits created by the covid
When a robot operates without a vision system, the working environment must be configured and the robot must always access a predefined location, forcing it to employ high-precision positioning systems for the things to be handled so that the robot go to the exact location. Due to the fact that vision systems allow to establish
The robots are particularly resistant to cleaning chemicals and disinfectants and can clean under high pressure thanks to their robust construction. Special rules apply to robots used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The new KUKA “Hygienic Oil” (HO) product range, as well as the KUKA “Hygienic Machine” (HM) series of robots, were designed
The LR-10iA/10 mounts on the floor, upside down, or at an angle. FANUC claims that the robot can be easily installed on an automated guided vehicle or other mobile platform to perform many repetitive tasks or to automate idle machines. FANUC America, a leading provider of CNC machines, robotics and robots, has introduced the new
ABB and its two new OmniCore controller partners. The new E10 and V250XT controllers, available for a number of robots in ABB’s portfolio, expand the control capabilities of advanced robots in a wide variety of industries, from electronics assembly to automotive, logistics and construction. The E10 controller was designed to supply ABB SCARA robots and
The Japanese manufacturer of industrial Fanuc robots sees that in the changes and advances in the electric vehicle market, it promises to open more doors for the acquisition of industrial robots. President and CEO Kenji Yamaguchi explained. Yamaguchi also commented that the design of electric vehicles has efficient characteristics that make it different from gasoline
