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
It will still be science fiction to some, but 3D printing is quickly breaking down typical engineering and design barriers and streamlining how the development business works. Last month, the city showed off Europe’s first 3D-printed house that was designed almost entirely by a robot. In recent years, the race to create the world’s first
The NSF was awarded to an interdisciplinary team that includes collaboration between the University of Minnesota Taubman School of Architecture and Urban Planning and the College of Engineering, as well as external research collaborations with the University of Florida and Washington State University. KUKA Robotics robots are helping the University of Michigan (U of M)
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.
The industry has become too aware of the potential dark side of Internet-connected devices as high-profile infractions become more common. As is known the main functionality of industry 4.0 and the Internet efforts of things (IOT) are based on the integration of operating technology (OT). and information technology (IT). So the method of isolating plant
HC10DTP and HC20DTP are the two new six-axis collaborative robotic arms for applications such as assembly, dispensing, machine maintenance, material handling, packaging and welding. Designed by Yaskawa Motoman. Each robot has four modes of collaborative operation and can switch between collaborative speed in PFL mode and maximum speed in industrial mode, meeting established safety requirements
According to Eric Potter, general manager of FANUC America’s General Industries and Automotive Segment, “The new M-1000iA is FANUC’s largest serial link robot to date.” ” Current needs have changed requiring new solutions to process very large parts with greater versatility and better use of the work area. Especially in applications such as processing and
Collaborative robots (cobots) were first designed to perform highly repetitive, low-weight work that allows them to operate safely alongside human workers without the need to design and build bulky fences or barriers, providing maximum flexibility and efficiency; in the assistance of machines, assembly and minor packaging processes. In recent years, its capabilities have grown. Cobots
The LR-10iA/10 mounts on the floor, upside down, or at an angle. FANUC claims that the robot can be easily installed on an automated guided vehicle or other mobile platform to perform many repetitive tasks or to automate idle machines. FANUC America, a leading provider of CNC machines, robotics and robots, has introduced the new
