To help companies address the welder shortage, ABB has introduced OmniVance FlexArc Compact, a new, more compact welding system with greater flexibility, simplicity and better integration. This revolutionary system helps fabricators maximise space because it occupies the smallest footprint in its class. It also allows flexibility because it can accommodate up to four additional robots
Industrial robots are constantly being upgraded and improved as technology advances tremendously as we move forward in the automation industry. Force sensing and robot vision are combined in industrial robots to generate haptic intelligence. These procedures are continually being improved by manufacturers, who also manage to raise production quality while reducing prices. FANUC force sensors
Industrial robots improve productivity, product quality and efficiency, making them ideal for manufacturers large and small. Many companies looking to automate their applications cannot afford the upfront cost of new equipment. Using used industrial robots for new applications is an excellent way to minimize the cost of a project and increase the return on investment.
Robotic welding innovations have had many beneficial effects on production. Welding settings can be monitored and improved without any downtime with the appropriate hardware and software. Modern welding processes now offer flexibility and productivity thanks to advanced automation and programming capabilities. Robotic welding is now commonly used in production contexts due to today’s sophisticated computational
Machine Tending is a term used in the industrial sector to describe the “care and attention of machines”. The metalworking industry, and more especially machining processes, is one of the industries with the highest demand for automated applications. These processes are repetitive and involve medium to long batches. As a result, companies want solutions that
One of the most popular robotic automation trends is small industrial robots. The rate at which manufacturers are automating their processes is attributed to the proliferation of small robots. Small robots can automate processes that would be impossible for a large robot to do. Improved efficiency Because industries believe that robots are more reliable and
Robotic systems used in direct and indirect food handling are designed to withstand many washdowns. The robot must be built to withstand a large amount of water being sprayed from a high-pressure, high-volume hose. To improve the flow rate of product spills and cleaning solutions, surfaces should be convex, rounded or sloped. Robots used in
A collaborative robot collaborates with humans in a defined space without risk of serious injury or accidents. The appeal of a cobot is not only its collaborative aspect, but also its ease of installation and return on investment (ROI). The collaborative robot series has taken off in a variety of industries, enabling new technological breakthroughs
Line designers can now use one machine to perform multiple operations thanks to robots that are highly flexible and provide fast multi-tooling. The need to increase the efficiency of the production cells to obtain the largest number of operations in the smallest space. Plants in established car-producing countries cannot simply decide to increase their footprint.
At Modex 2022, FANUC America, the world leader in CNC, robotics and ROBOMACHINES, introduced new CRX collaborative robots, as well as a variety of automation solutions for the warehousing and logistics industries. FANUC CRX cobots are easy to use, reliable and versatile enough to perform a wide variety of tasks. When the CRX comes into
