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
FANUC is promoting the creation of a comprehensive robot for use in the workplace. A robotic platform that enables genuine social collaboration between people and robots is what the EU-funded research project “Fluently” aims to build. The objectives of the three-year project include the creation of a specialised training facility called ‘Fluently RoboGym’, as well
Yaskawa America, Inc.’s Motoman robotics division (Yaskawa Motoman) and Rapid Robotics have announced a new combination to enhance the industrial capabilities of the Rapid Machine Operator (RMO). As a result, RMO will be able to meet the diverse demands of North American manufacturers by offering increased speed, payload capacity and performance. Rapid Robotics has sought
In collaboration with the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), ABB Robotics has developed an automated neutralising antibody testing method that provides the most accurate way to assess a person’s immunity to different strains of Covid. Thanks to this technology, between 15 and more than 1,000 neutralising antibody tests are performed every day. Automating the
Through the Renewable Energy Sources Directive and the Energy Efficiency Directive, the European Union has set as its main objective to maximise the energy efficiency of its Member States. By 2030, it aims to reduce primary energy use by 39% and final energy use by 36%. Energy efficiency is increasingly crucial as industry becomes more
