Fanuc is launching its latest educational package, which combines a vertical machining center with a CRX-10iA collaborative robot. Developed in conjunction with several leading industry partners, the ROBODRILL educational cell brings automated CNC milling to the training market at a competitive price. Trainees can receive hands-on experience programming and operating CNC machine tools, as well
ABB adds robots for complicated manufacturing applications to its family with the addition of two new robot families. ABB‘s IRB 5710 and 5720 robots offer higher productivity and better performance with increased uptime for applications such as electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing, foundry, forging, rubber and plastics, and metal fabrication. They offer increased speed, accuracy, flexibility,
The demand for smarter and more flexible robotic automation for ABB FlexLoaders machining applications is growing as more efficient and advanced machine tools enter the market. The requirement to adequately meet specific customer preferences is a critical issue facing machine shops and builders in various industries, especially as the shift from mass manufacturing to mass
Industrial robots are now widely employed in the rapidly expanding e-commerce and logistics industries. In the growing business of logistics and e-commerce, industrial robots are increasingly used for activities. Picking unsorted products requires speed-optimized lean robot kinematics with a long arm and very narrow wrists, as well as advanced image processing technologies, for greater reach.
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
