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 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
Mr Eric Potter, the Managing Director of FANUC Automation, comments on energy efficiency with industrial robots. Interest in and concern about the energy consumption of robots varies from area to area, mostly based on local energy prices, but energy efficiency is a case-by-case issue. When it comes to impacts on nature, there are benefits to
Several of them are based on the robot operating system, the standard open source framework for developing robotics applications. Organizations that develop and build robots must ensure that stability is a priority from the moment the robot design is conceived, and not an afterthought. Ensure stability By doing this, organizations run the risk of not
South Africa’s food and beverage (F&B) industry has never seen the future more uncertain as the consequences of Covid-19 have changed the consumption habits of changing consumers and retailers, supply networks have been halted along with analysis on food safety. They have been struggling to keep up with mega-trends like digitization and the evolution of
The demand for effective robotic solutions is increasing as a result of increased automation, adaptation to new labor-saving production processes, and the repercussions of Covid-19. This is especially true in industries where logistics is critical, such as food, medicine and cosmetics, where the need to improve efficiency by automating the packaging and stacking of individual
ABB continues to innovate with the new SafeMove2 security software with enhanced safety features, such as: speed safety limits, safe stand-still monitoring, safe axis and position ranges and orientation of supervision. These features are integrated into the robot’s control cabinet. It also facilitates interaction between the operator and the robot. This new software has security
