For years, factories were designed as rigid systems: fixed lines, dedicated stations and layouts that barely changed for an entire decade. But the days of mass, stable production are now behind us. The new industrial economy demands flexibility, customisation and immediate responsiveness. Thus, the concept of the reconfigurable factory was born, where refurbished industrial robots
Industrial recycling is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. Until recently, the separation and processing of materials largely relied on traditional manual or mechanical methods. Today, thanks to robotics, these tasks are becoming automated, increasing efficiency and reducing workplace risks. What is truly innovative, however, is that much of this automation is being achieved using
In the world of industrial automation, medium-payload robots represent an ideal balance between strength and agility. Among them, the FANUC M-710iC/50 has established itself as a reliable solution for processes that require precision, speed, and adaptability. Supported by URT, this model continues to be a competitive alternative for companies looking to optimise their operations with
In industrial robotics, safety is not just a legal requirement—it is the foundation of responsible automation. As the use of refurbished robots continues to grow rapidly, understanding European regulations and safety standards becomes essential to ensure operations are both lawful and secure. In Europe, industrial robots are primarily governed by the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, which
Logistics is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. The rise of e-commerce, the growing pressure to deliver products in ever shorter timeframes, and the need to optimize limited space have turned robotic automation into a strategic ally. Within this evolution, collaborative bin-picking—the ability of robots to recognize and extract items from disordered containers—is emerging as one of
In today’s increasingly competitive industrial landscape, gantry robots—also known as Cartesian robots—are emerging as one of the most versatile and efficient solutions for automation. Unlike articulated or SCARA robots, gantry systems are mounted on elevated structures that move across the workspace. This configuration allows them to handle parts with high precision, cover large surface areas,
In the world of industrial automation, medium-payload robots strike the perfect balance between strength and agility. Among them, the FANUC M-710iC/50 has earned a reputation as a reliable solution for processes that demand precision, speed, and adaptability. Backed by Eurobots, this model remains a competitive option for companies looking to enhance their operations with a
Universal Robots has taken a decisive step toward advanced manufacturing with the launch of the UR8 Long—a collaborative robot built for demanding industrial tasks. Unveiled at the FABTECH trade show in Chicago and set to enter production lines this October, the UR8 Long combines an extended reach of 1,750 mm and an 8 kg payload
In many factories, space is as valuable a resource as time or labor. Poor layout and inefficient use of space can lead to bottlenecks, downtime, and increased costs. In this context, ABB’s robotic arms have become a strategic tool for maximizing floor space, enabling production lines that are more compact, safer, and more efficient. Thanks
Industry 4.0 demands increasingly specialized and efficient solutions, especially in critical environments like cleanrooms. In this context, KUKA Robotics has taken a significant leap forward with its latest innovation: the KMR iisy CR. This autonomous mobile robot (AMR) not only sets new standards in all-terrain robotics but also redefines automation in ultra-clean environments such as
