In the robotics industry, the Motoman MH24 is a six-axis articulated robot designed for high-speed tasks such as material handling, general operations, and other precision applications. While it is not a welding-specific robot like some models in Yaskawa’s AR series, its combination of speed, rigidity, and path accuracy makes it a viable option for welding
Industrial robots, like any machinery, require regular maintenance. But the key question is: do we act before a failure occurs or after it? Predictive maintenance redefines efficiency by anticipating breakdowns and optimising resources. Corrective: The Traditional Model Corrective maintenance takes place after a failure: when a servomotor stops, an axis loses calibration or a controller
The KUKA KR 510 R3080, part of KUKA’s QUANTEC/FORTEC family, is one of the most powerful high-payload industrial robots available on the market. Designed to handle extremely large and heavy parts—with a nominal payload of around 510 kg and a reach exceeding 3 meters—it offers a combination of strength, reach, and repeatability that makes it
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
In the modern industrial landscape, where speed, precision, and adaptability are paramount, assembly robots have evolved from being mere auxiliary tools to playing a crucial role in manufacturing processes. YOUIBOT, a specialist in intelligent and mobile robotic solutions, is at the forefront of this transformation, seamlessly integrating autonomous mobility with robotic arms capable of assembling,
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,
FANUC, a global leader in industrial robotics, is reaffirming its dedication to technical training by becoming a Premium Sponsor of EuroSkills 2025, which will take place from September 9 to 13 in Herning, Denmark. This partnership reflects FANUC’s ongoing support for nurturing young talent in robotic systems integration. EuroSkills, part of the WorldSkills Europe network,
FANUC has signed a major contract to supply an automated painting system to a leading European luxury car manufacturer, further strengthening its position in automotive robotics. With nearly 50 robots dedicated to both bodywork and plastic components, the project stands out as a prime example of full integration—from design and installation to process control on
Although industrial robotics is becoming increasingly accessible, misconceptions still linger—especially among small and medium-sized businesses—that slow down its adoption. Beliefs like “robots are too expensive” or “they’re only useful for large corporations” no longer reflect today’s reality. With solutions like those offered by DOBOT, a manufacturer specializing in compact and affordable robotic arms, it’s time
In a global landscape that demands agility and precision, logistics automation is no longer a futuristic vision—it has become a critical operational necessity. The shortage of skilled labor and the relentless rise in demand have placed many companies at a crossroads: when and how should they take the leap toward robotic process integration? As a
