Industrial robots, like any machinery, require regular maintenance. But the key question is: do we act before a failure occurs or after it? Predictive maintenance redefines efficiency by anticipating breakdowns and optimising resources. Corrective: The Traditional Model Corrective maintenance takes place after a failure: when a servomotor stops, an axis loses calibration or a controller … Read more
A recent video showcases a robotic cell featuring a KUKA KR30-3 mounted on a linear rail (track) and paired with two rotary positioners as part of an advanced handling or welding solution. This configuration is gaining ground as a flexible alternative for production lines, though it is not without challenges. Eurobots, as a provider of … Read more
Purchasing a robot is not simply a technical decision. In reality, it is a financial one. Many companies believe that the most expensive robot is the best, or that buying new is the safest way to “avoid risks”. However, when looked at from a business perspective, with numbers and strategy in mind, the reality is … Read more
The electronics sector increasingly demands precision, speed and flexibility in production processes. From smartphones to automotive components, the miniaturisation of parts and the complexity of assemblies require technologies that surpass human limitations without compromising quality.
