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
Industrial robotics is a technology that offers multiple benefits for manufacturing, construction, agriculture and other sectors. However, it also brings risks and challenges for worker and machine safety. In this article, we will explore robotic safety, its updates and the key standards for industrial safety with robotic arms. Robotic safety is the set of measures
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
Can you imagine a robot that can work alongside humans quickly and accurately, without the need for physical barriers? Such a robot exists and its name is ABB’s Swifti CRB 1300. It is an innovative robot that fuses the advantages of industrial robots and collaborative robots, creating a new category of hybrid robots. The Swifti
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
Simple arc welding is the focus of the new KR CYBERTECH nano ARC HW Edition robot. With KUKA as a reliable partner, this hollow wrist robot offers the best entry point to efficient automation. The German company has created a new line of arc welding robots to help its customers take advantage of the benefits
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
Swifti CRB 1300, an industrial collaborative robot from ABB, combines speed and precision with a payload capacity of up to 11 kg. It can be used for a wide range of production and product handling tasks, such as picking and placing objects in specific locations and palletising. The Swifti CRB 1300, a cobot from ABB,
Robots used in manufacturing and other industrial contexts perform monotonous, dangerous or overly precise activities that humans find difficult or disruptive. They can be programmed to perform a wide range of functions, such as welding, painting, assembly and material handling. Their ability to work efficiently and continuously without tiring or making mistakes is their greatest
