SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Michigan – Robot safety is always a crucial component of automation, so at Automate 2023, KUKA Robotics highlighted Airskin safety technology on two industrial robots. In a 13-foot open area, KR AGILUS and CYBERTECH robots equipped with Airskin performed component handling and visual inspection as part of the demonstration, which illustrated the safe
Simple arc welding is the focus of the new KR CYBERTECH nano ARC HW Edition robot. With KUKA as a reliable partner, this hollow wrist robot offers the best entry point to efficient automation. The German company has created a new line of arc welding robots to help its customers take advantage of the benefits
Kevin Gavin of KUKA Robotics Corporation says: “Calculating the total life cycle cost of a piece of equipment, such as a robot, is an effective approach that takes into consideration not only the initial cost, but also the production throughput and all costs associated with maintaining the robot to calculate its true cost. Gavin suggests
Robot-based automation is a growing trend in the industrial sector, offering numerous benefits such as increased productivity, quality and safety. However, implementing a robot-based automation system can be challenging, as it involves a number of steps and decisions that can affect the time and cost of the project. Therefore, it is important to follow some
FANUC supplied an industrial-scale laser cutting cell ordered by the UK’s Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) using a range of automated systems. The demonstration cell includes a 12 m x 4 m cutting table, a six-axis robot, a computer numerical control (CNC) system for the flatbed table and laser, all housed in a laser safe enclosure.
Although industrial robots have long been an important part of production, many people still think of them as expensive and difficult equipment with safety concerns. However, the deployment of industrial robots is becoming increasingly accessible thanks to lower prices and simpler programming, making them faster and easier for small and medium-sized enterprises to deploy and
Swifti CRB 1300, an industrial collaborative robot from ABB, combines speed and precision with a payload capacity of up to 11 kg. It can be used for a wide range of production and product handling tasks, such as picking and placing objects in specific locations and palletising. The Swifti CRB 1300, a cobot from ABB,
