FANUC IS ONE OF THE LEADING JAPANESE PLAYERS IN AUTOMATION

The global move to electric cars presents enormous prospects for Japanese industrial robot manufacturer Fanuc. Compared to petrol cars, electric vehicles are quite different in design: they need fewer parts, for example. However, Yamaguchi pointed out that production lines for electric vehicles employ more robots than those for petrol vehicles. Recently, most of our major

ROBOTIC BLACKSMITHING

The production of high-quality structural elements can undergo a revolution thanks to “robotic blacksmithing“. Metamorphic production combines the precision and control of machines and robotic systems with the gradual deformation of a blacksmith. A group of undergraduate students at Ohio State University demonstrated the fundamental idea of robotic blacksmithing, formally known as metamorphic manufacturing, in

ROBOTS FOR HIGH VOLUME MANUFACTURING ENVIRONMENTS

An industrial pick-and-place robot is used to handle and place products on a production line. They are typically used in high-volume manufacturing environments where they can quickly and accurately load products onto conveyor belts or other production tools. This may involve actions such as removing products from one machine and placing them on the conveyor
