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. Sami
Universal Robots‘ goal is to increase access to industrial robot technology for small and medium-sized enterprises. As of 2020, Universal Robots will have more than 700 employees worldwide and an annual turnover of more than $200 million, making it the market leader in the production of flexible collaborative robot equipment. Three Danish engineers started it
Logistics centres don’t send pallets of single items, but shipments of mixed items. Huge trucks deliver items to the logistics centre and someone must unload the truck. During the unloading of the truck, each item must be registered and then stored. For this purpose Universal Robots and Mujin Corp created an automated system. With the
Yaskawa has added new functions to its MP3300iec RBT solution from the ‘Singular Control’ end-to-end solution, which enables robots, servo drives, inverters and I/O systems to be controlled from a single controller. ‘Circular Conveyor Tracking’ allows automatic tracking of linear conveyor movements. By calculating the corresponding radius, the software can determine the exact position of
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
KUKA manufactures a diverse portfolio of parts, some of which are created in comparatively low volumes, but require fixation, change in integrity, or assembly. The mainstay of the inaudible welding method used by the company until now has been the Telsonic HandyStar ultrasonic units. Let’s get to know more about this cutting-edge technology. Light Weight
In the last five years, the global operating stock of industrial robots has increased by approximately 65 percent to 2.4 million units. Thisindicates that companies around the world are dramatically adopting industrial automation. In this time frame, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a positive impact on the labor market. The employment rate in
A growing trend for robotic work cells is 3D machine vision. This technology allows the robot to detect the position, size, depth, and color of objects. Sectors such as logistics, food processing, life sciences, and production are finding ways to modify their processes using visual components.The ultimate goal is to to launch automated systems with
