The MX3D robot arm has been designed by Altair engineers, 3D printed and serves as a spare part for an ABB robot. The large-scale optimised part was first presented to the public back in November 2019, just before its installation. After a pause in the project due to the crown crisis, the installation has now
Typically, a gantry-type (also known as Cartesian, linear or transverse) top-mounted three-axis robot is used to demould injection moulded parts. Pick-and-place automation is commonly used to demould injection moulded parts. According to Fanuc Robotics programme manager for the plastics industry, Joseph Portelli, the demand for part orientation capability is increasing. However, today’s moulders are looking
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
The company said the SWIFTI CRB 1300 robot arm bridges the gap between industrial robotics and collaborative robotics, and ABB unveiled it. The SWIFTI CRB 1300 can be used for a range of manufacturing and product handling applications, including pick-and-place, bolting and palletising, with a payload capacity of up to 11 kg (24.3 lb). ABB’s
Skyline Robotics (a company that, with the help of robotics, software engineering and mechatronics, brings together a group of creative programmers who have a shared vision of a day when robots help people with everyday tasks and employment) created “Ozmo”, a technology that combines an industrial robot, a computer vision system, artificial intelligence (AI) and
FANUC customers can upgrade their robots, in particular the CRX series, with useful hand-eye coordination thanks to compatibility. Factory automation and industrial robots FANUC customers can upgrade their robots, in particular the CRX series, with useful hand-eye coordination thanks to compatibility. In Japan, MIRAI, together with its US subsidiary FANUC America, is a leading supplier
Yaskawa has offered a conventional technological solution without the need for additional hardware to recover the robot’s braking energy and transfer it to the power grid. All Motoman robots in the larger series, with payloads up to about 50 kg, including the latest YRC1000 robot controllers, are able to immediately convert the kinetic energy of
How can you convince management that using robots and automation to solve a production problem is the best option? When you show a quick return on investment based on financial metrics and benchmarks, you’re sure to get their attention. By working with the right automation supplier, you’ll be prepared to discuss both the financial benefits
Two automated cells from KUKA Robotics were brought to The Vision Show, where they showcased automated mobility with one being used for automated mobility and the other for container collection. The public was able to see a transportable robotic solution created in collaboration with the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturers. They will also be able to
Fanuc is showcasing new solutions for industry, including an enhanced ROBODRILL, the R-2000iC/190S high-precision machining robot, the ceiling-mounted SCARA SR-3iA/U robot and the latest iteration of the CR-35iB collaborative robot, demonstrating the company’s dedication to research and development. Tom Bouchier, managing director of Fanuc UK, says that technological innovation and a strong commitment to R&D
