ABB Robotics has expanded its range of large robots with four new models and 22 variants, offering more options, greater energy efficiency and higher performance. The new models, comprising the IRB 6710, IRB 6720, IRB 6730 and IRB 6740, are capable of handling weights between 150 and 310 kg and have a reach of between
End users want implementation procedures to be more agile and adaptable in order to respond to delivery times and the particularities of each company. IMASD engineering has proposed a collaborative approach to meet the palletisation demands of the industry. IMASD’s CERES palletising cell is adaptable to any industry or type of company and is characterised
The company said the SWIFTI CRB 1300 robot arm bridges the gap between industrial robotics and collaborative robotics, and ABB unveiled it. The SWIFTI CRB 1300 can be used for a range of manufacturing and product handling applications, including pick-and-place, bolting and palletising, with a payload capacity of up to 11 kg (24.3 lb). ABB’s
Battery Builders (BBI), an industrial lead-acid battery manufacturer based in Naperville, Illinois, made the decision to modernise its building, and it seemed natural to include its six-station COS (Cast-On-Strap) equipment in those upgrades. It installed a Kawasaki high payload robot with a robotic cell consisting of six process stations working with robotic integrator MAC Engineering.
By developing a robot barber that cuts your hair, inventor Shane Wighton, of YouTube channel Stuff Made Here, has already achieved internet fame. He did nothing more than wait for the robot to do the job, praying that it wouldn’t “form” its face in the process, with its head sticking out of a hole in
Metallic and non-metallic materials are being moulded by robots more frequently, with the latter being processed according to hardness, geometric complexity, physical tolerance and desired surface polish. Industrial robots now have better mechanical capabilities and can produce goods at higher speeds thanks to recent technological advances. Worldwide, the use of robotics in production is steadily
An industrial pick-and-place robot is used to handle and place products on a production line. They are typically used in high-volume manufacturing environments where they can quickly and accurately load products onto conveyor belts or other production tools. This may involve actions such as removing products from one machine and placing them on the conveyor
ABB has added to its Delta FlexPicker line of robots with the new IRB 365, a 5-axis robot with a payload capacity of up to 1.5 kg. Miniature packages and other packaged products such as biscuits, chocolates or small bottles, among others, can be handled with ease thanks to its speed of up to 120
Having the potential to increase profits for producers around the world, the “Seventh Axis” is a phenomenon in the field of robotic automation. Robotics is seeing an increase in the use of “linear tracks”. A linear transfer system known as a seventh axis is used to move robots along another linear (or seventh) axis. These
At Modex 2022, FANUC America, the world leader in CNC, robotics and ROBOMACHINES, introduced new CRX collaborative robots, as well as a variety of automation solutions for the warehousing and logistics industries. FANUC CRX cobots are easy to use, reliable and versatile enough to perform a wide variety of tasks. When the CRX comes into
