The PL800 is a versatile and powerful 4-axis robot that offers high performance in palletising applications and many other logistics applications for automation and end-of-line packaging options. The North and South American markets for the Yaskawa Motoman PL800 palletising robot are now open. The robot has been created for “palletising applications, layer picking and other
ABB‘s latest collaborative robot, the GoFaTM 15000, will be on live display in a cell with two other cobots, performing both an arc welding application and a collaborative part picking application. By combining the cobot’s simple programming, welding software and 3D machine vision, we can create a welding island tailored to the demands of those
During PACK EXPO Las Vegas, FANUC America, a supplier of CNCs, robots and ROBOMACHINES, showcased a wide range of automation solutions for picking, packing, fulfilment and palletising. Palletising, packing, inspection and other tasks can be carried out with the help of FANUC’s CRX cobot, which is a simple and adaptable tool. The CRX cobot can
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
Numerous statistics suggest that the majority of companies in a variety of sectors intend to increase their use of automation and robots. Seventy per cent of US companies are planning changes to their operations, with 37% planning to bring production back in-house and 33% looking to offshore and move their operations closer to home. ABB’s
Optimax Systems and PickNik Robotics have made available a ROS 2 controller for ABB manipulators. An ABB IRB 1200-5/0.9 manipulator has been used to test the package. For simulation in ROS, you can fake the ros2 controllers in the first mode. The controller can also be interfaced with ABB’s unique RobotStudio software. The new ABB
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
A solid-state joining technique called friction stir welding creates full contact joints with exceptional integrity. There is no need for external filler materials, flux or shielding gases for friction stir welding. All in-process control and quality control is automated, the process is fully repeatable and machine controlled. How does it work? When two workpieces rotate
To help companies address the welder shortage, ABB has introduced OmniVance FlexArc Compact, a new, more compact welding system with greater flexibility, simplicity and better integration. This revolutionary system helps fabricators maximise space because it occupies the smallest footprint in its class. It also allows flexibility because it can accommodate up to four additional robots
