It is an innovative robot that fuses the advantages of industrial robots and collaborative robots, creating a new category of hybrid robots. The Swifti
SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Michigan – Robot safety is always a crucial component of automation, so at Automate 2023, KUKA Robotics highlighted Airskin safety technology on two industrial robots. In a 13-foot open area, KR AGILUS and CYBERTECH robots equipped with Airskin performed component handling and visual inspection as part of the demonstration, which illustrated the safe
Simple arc welding is the focus of the new KR CYBERTECH nano ARC HW Edition robot. With KUKA as a reliable partner, this hollow wrist robot offers the best entry point to efficient automation. The German company has created a new line of arc welding robots to help its customers take advantage of the benefits
Robots in industrial production are capable of performing a wide range of operations, such as handling parts, welding, gluing and measuring. The problem is that the robot must first learn each process step by means of software commands. The programming of a work step is considerably reduced with the KUKA.AppTech software. Similar to a library,
Yaskawa, one of the leading companies in the industrial robotics sector, has unveiled its new Motopick 4 software, which makes creating and optimising robot palletising patterns simple and accurate. The software is compatible with the YRC1000 and YRC1000micro robot controllers, which are the most advanced and compact in Yaskawa’s range. The software offers an intuitive
FANUC America, a leading industrial robotics company, has introduced its new heavy-duty cobots, which can handle objects weighing up to 35 kg. Cobots are collaborative robots that can work alongside humans safely and efficiently. FANUC America’s cobots are characterised by their ease of use, flexibility and intelligence. The new FANUC America cobots are the CRX-35iA
Robot-based automation is a growing trend in the industrial sector, offering numerous benefits such as increased productivity, quality and safety. However, implementing a robot-based automation system can be challenging, as it involves a number of steps and decisions that can affect the time and cost of the project. Therefore, it is important to follow some
During the ProMat 2023 manufacturing, distribution and supply chain equipment and systems event in Chicago, KUKA Robotics demonstrated the ability of its KR CYBERTECH Nano robot to efficiently retrieve products from boxes or containers within a holding cell. The robotics is used in the bin picking cell to detect components to be removed using machine
