An industrial pump manufacturer needed to improve the efficiency and quality of its grinding process, which was done manually with a power tool. The process was slow, inconsistent and required a lot of physical effort on the part of the operators. In addition, the noise and dust generated by the grinding process negatively affected the
European kitchen manufacturer Nobia has chosen ABB Robotics to provide robotic automation solutions for its new production facility in Jönköping, Sweden. ABB Robotics aims to help organisations transform their operations through adaptive automation and cutting-edge customised products. ABB Robotics will work with Nobia to enable rapid mass production of customised kitchens, meeting growing customer demand
Plus One Robotics, a provider of machine vision software and robotic package handling solutions, is using Yaskawa Motoman robots in customer induction and mixed depalletising programmes. FedEx Corp. has acquired twelve additional induction systems, adding to the four already in place at the FedEx Express Hub in Memphis, Tennessee. Plus One introduced mixed depalletising systems
To help its customers with more diverse automation applications, ABB has launched a new robotics ecosystem programme. The programme, in collaboration with a global network of partners, will enable end users and system integrators to easily access third-party innovations, such as certified peripheral equipment and software solutions. According to Andrea Cassoni, General Manager Global Business
Yaskawa America presented robotic automation solutions at Automate that improve production and enable smooth operation. Experts from Motoman Robotics and Drives & Motion Division discussed application requirements and provided inspiration for the shop floor. The demonstration showcases the GP12 robot, a high-speed induction work cell, which exhibits efficient robotic automation to meet order fulfilment demands.
The Fanuc M-710iC/70 robot is a 6-axis industrial robot with a payload capacity of 70 kg and a reach of 2050 mm. It is an innovative model featuring a slim wrist, a rigid arm and a small footprint. It is suitable for a variety of applications such as handling, packaging, welding, assembly and dispensing. BENEFITS
SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Michigan – Robot safety is always a crucial component of automation, so at Automate 2023, KUKA Robotics highlighted Airskin safety technology on two industrial robots. In a 13-foot open area, KR AGILUS and CYBERTECH robots equipped with Airskin performed component handling and visual inspection as part of the demonstration, which illustrated the safe
Kevin Gavin of KUKA Robotics Corporation says: “Calculating the total life cycle cost of a piece of equipment, such as a robot, is an effective approach that takes into consideration not only the initial cost, but also the production throughput and all costs associated with maintaining the robot to calculate its true cost. Gavin suggests
Robots in industrial production are capable of performing a wide range of operations, such as handling parts, welding, gluing and measuring. The problem is that the robot must first learn each process step by means of software commands. The programming of a work step is considerably reduced with the KUKA.AppTech software. Similar to a library,
Yaskawa, one of the leading companies in the industrial robotics sector, has unveiled its new Motopick 4 software, which makes creating and optimising robot palletising patterns simple and accurate. The software is compatible with the YRC1000 and YRC1000micro robot controllers, which are the most advanced and compact in Yaskawa’s range. The software offers an intuitive
