Following a successful trial phase, FANUC is expanding its FANUC Assisted Reality (FAR) digital remote service and will start offering FAR as part of its regular service package on April 1, 2022. It is an augmented reality application that enables FANUC customers get remote support. It enables service engineers to diagnose faults using real-time video
The Fourth Industrial Revolution has robotization and artificial intelligence in companies, two of the keys that will create a completely new ecosystem. The types of industrial robots available today in the industry are fully adapted to new needs. Currently, robots such as the AVG or Scara models have been updated to be able to serve
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

For almost all applications, including your industry, KUKA offers industrial robots in a variety of variants with different payload capacities and reach ranges. KUKA offers a variety of production equipment that allows you to combine standardized systems and
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
When a robot operates without a vision system, the working environment must be configured and the robot must always access a predefined location, forcing it to employ high-precision positioning systems for the things to be handled so that the robot go to the exact location. Due to the fact that vision systems allow to establish
The robots are particularly resistant to cleaning chemicals and disinfectants and can clean under high pressure thanks to their robust construction. Special rules apply to robots used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The new KUKA “Hygienic Oil” (HO) product range, as well as the KUKA “Hygienic Machine” (HM) series of robots, were designed
The LR-10iA/10 mounts on the floor, upside down, or at an angle. FANUC claims that the robot can be easily installed on an automated guided vehicle or other mobile platform to perform many repetitive tasks or to automate idle machines. FANUC America, a leading provider of CNC machines, robotics and robots, has introduced the new
