In the world of automation and robotics, autonomous industrial robots have become an essential tool to improve productivity and efficiency in various industries. These incredible devices are designed to carry out complex tasks independently, without the need for direct human intervention. Leading companies such as FANUC, KUKA, ABB and Yaskawa Motoman have developed a wide
Collaborative robots, also known as cobots, are automation tools that work in collaboration with humans. Due to their ease of use, low cost and high precision, they are becoming increasingly popular in different sectors. In education, cobots are being used to teach students programming and robotics skills in an interactive way. For example, the Dobot
In an innovative move, the industrial technology giant ABB recently acquired SevenSense, a leading startup specialized in AI-powered robotic navigation. This acquisition marks an important milestone in the field of robotics and automation, as ABB intends to leverage the cutting-edge technology of SevenSense to further improve its own offering in the market. In this article
Industrial robotics is a branch of engineering that deals with the design, construction, operation and application of robots to perform tasks in various productive sectors, such as manufacturing, construction, agriculture, mining, logistics, etc. Industrial robots are programmable machines that can manipulate objects, tools and materials, following previously defined instructions. One of the leading manufacturers of
SCARA robots (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) are robotic arms that are characterised by four degrees of freedom and high precision and speed of movement. These robots are ideal for assembly, handling, packaging and sorting of small and light parts. ABB, a leading industrial robotics company, has launched the new SCARA IRB 930 robot, which
Cloud robotics is an emerging technology that allows robots to access computing, storage, and communication resources hosted in the cloud. This means that robots can take advantage of the cloud’s unlimited processing power and storage, as well as share data and information with other robots and systems. Cloud robotics has several advantages that have increased
The Yaskawa Motoman GP20 robot is a 6-axis robot that has a payload of 20 kg and a reach of 1,802 mm12. It is a compact, high-speed robot that can achieve very fast cycle times with excellent repeatability. The slim design of your wrist allows you to work in tight spaces and access difficult areas,
A suite of Fanuc automation solutions has proven essential to the delivery of an industrial-scale laser cutting cell commissioned by the UK Manufacturing Technology Center (MTC). Built by systems integrator Cyan Tech Systems , the demonstration cell consists of a 12m x 4m cutting table and, from Fanuc UK, a six-axis robot, a computer numerical
Robots in industrial production are capable of performing a wide range of operations, such as handling parts, welding, gluing and measuring. The problem is that the robot must first learn each process step by means of software commands. The programming of a work step is considerably reduced with the KUKA.AppTech software. Similar to a library,
In Kangqiao, Shanghai, China, ABB formally opened its state-of-the-art, fully automated and adaptive robotics plant. The 67,000 sqm manufacturing and research facility, in which ABB invested $150 million (RMB 1.1 billion), will use its digital and automation technologies to produce next-generation robots, reinforcing its position as a leader in robotics and automation in China.
