Servo motors have been the workhorses of the automation and industrial robotics industry for decades. These electromechanical devices are essential for controlling precise motion in a wide range of industrial applications, from machine tools to assembly robots. But what exactly are servo motors and how do they work? In this article, we’ll delve into everything
In the competitive world of industrial robotics, innovation and high-quality design are crucial factors for standing out. Yaskawa Europe GmbH has achieved just that with its Motoman HD7 robot, being honored with the prestigious Red Dot Award: Product Design 2024. This international recognition is a testament to the design excellence and functionality that Yaskawa has
Industrial and service robotics is a field that has experienced great development in recent decades, driven by the demand for efficient, flexible and safe automation solutions for various sectors and applications. Among the companies that have stood out in this field, one of the most recognized and prestigious is KUKA, a German company founded in
When it comes to industrial robotics, precision and efficiency are key. In this sense, Fanuc, one of the world leaders in the manufacturing of industrial robots, has presented two of its most outstanding models: the Fanuc R-2000iB/165F and the Fanuc R-2000iB/210F. Both robots are notable examples of advanced engineering and cutting-edge technology. However, each has
In the world of automation and robotics, autonomous industrial robots have become an essential tool to improve productivity and efficiency in various industries. These incredible devices are designed to carry out complex tasks independently, without the need for direct human intervention. Leading companies such as FANUC, KUKA, ABB and Yaskawa Motoman have developed a wide
With its intelligent production and research centre in Augsburg, KUKA aims to introduce 5G autonomous private wireless networks, intelligent robots and automation technologies. The campus networking and application platform for Nokia’s Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) will start supporting product development immediately. The most significant advance in industrial networks is 5G, which should be widely available
US-based Motoman Robotics presents its new collaborative robot (cobot) for the first time. The HC20XP cobot’s extended reach makes it ideal for end-of-line palletising applications. The cobot can reach entire 80-inch pallets thanks to its extended reach and without the aid of a lift or hoist. At the same time it can move heavier boxes
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
Between 2021 and 2026, the automated material handling equipment market is forecast to grow at a steady 12.0% CAGR. Manufacturers are using cheaper, more adaptable and agile robots to meet demanding requirements and remain competitive in the face of the global pandemic and beyond. This is especially true for applications involving material handling, such as
The sealants are applied at Ford via a KUKA LBR iiwa cobot. Without the requirement for safety fences, it works alongside human workers and provides relief during the work process. Workers at Ford’s Cologne plant benefit from the adaptability, sensitivity and learning ability of the lightweight KUKA LBR iiwa robot. According to Michael Koch, production
