Logistics centres don’t send pallets of single items, but shipments of mixed items. Huge trucks deliver items to the logistics centre and someone must unload the truck. During the unloading of the truck, each item must be registered and then stored. For this purpose Universal Robots and Mujin Corp created an automated system. With the
Yaskawa Corporation has created an industrial robot with artificial intelligence. The robot determines the colour and shape of the object before transporting it to its proper location. Yaskawa is adapting to the changing needs of different industries, including the automotive industry and parts production. Due to the influence of the Corona pandemic, “touching” has become
ABB adds robots for complicated manufacturing applications to its family with the addition of two new robot families. ABB‘s IRB 5710 and 5720 robots offer higher productivity and better performance with increased uptime for applications such as electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing, foundry, forging, rubber and plastics, and metal fabrication. They offer increased speed, accuracy, flexibility,
The demand for smarter and more flexible robotic automation for ABB FlexLoaders machining applications is growing as more efficient and advanced machine tools enter the market. The requirement to adequately meet specific customer preferences is a critical issue facing machine shops and builders in various industries, especially as the shift from mass manufacturing to mass
Yaskawa has added new functions to its MP3300iec RBT solution from the ‘Singular Control’ end-to-end solution, which enables robots, servo drives, inverters and I/O systems to be controlled from a single controller. ‘Circular Conveyor Tracking’ allows automatic tracking of linear conveyor movements. By calculating the corresponding radius, the software can determine the exact position of
HC10DTP and HC20DTP are the two new six-axis collaborative robotic arms for applications such as assembly, dispensing, machine maintenance, material handling, packaging and welding. Designed by Yaskawa Motoman. Each robot has four modes of collaborative operation and can switch between collaborative speed in PFL mode and maximum speed in industrial mode, meeting established safety requirements
According to Automation World’s recent robotics adoption survey, some vertical industries saw a significant increase in investment in robotics due to the need to socially distance, reorient supply chains and increase throughput, and others saw investment paralysis. As demand for their products fell, their decision-making process was paralyzed by political and economic uncertainty. Despite the
In New York City you can find skyscrapers that would provide you with an incredible view, and you could also find one of the most dangerous jobs performed by humans, that of cleaning windows at a great height. And what if a robot could perform this task? Well, Ozmo, a high-rise window cleaning robot, will
Small organizations will benefit the most from increased automation in construction, concludes FANUC, whose week-long open house attended by more than 1,000 experts revealed a sequence of emerging trends that the UK should adopt to produce an increase in 2022. Tom Bouchier, Managing Director of FANUC Unified Kingdom, said: IIoT has been around for several
Hirebotics’ Cobot Welder is the new system for programming via the Beacon smartphone app, eliminating the requirement for programming skills. In addition, it includes the UR10e collaborative robot from Universal Robots. Welding is often considered a labor-intensive tack and lock technique found in many discrete manufacturing assembly activities. While many components of welding are still
