FANUC IS ONE OF THE LEADING JAPANESE PLAYERS IN AUTOMATION

The global move to electric cars presents enormous prospects for Japanese industrial robot manufacturer Fanuc. Compared to petrol cars, electric vehicles are quite different in design: they need fewer parts, for example. However, Yamaguchi pointed out that production lines for electric vehicles employ more robots than those for petrol vehicles. Recently, most of our major

ROBOTIC CLEANING AND HYGIENE

Robotic systems used in direct and indirect food handling are designed to withstand many washdowns. The robot must be built to withstand a large amount of water being sprayed from a high-pressure, high-volume hose. To improve the flow rate of product spills and cleaning solutions, surfaces should be convex, rounded or sloped. Robots used in
