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
Maintenance of industrial robots is critical to ensure they work as intended for as long as possible. If your company has robots or you are considering adding them as soon as possible, understanding which maintenance practices to employ can help you get the most out of your investment. Dismantling a robot simply because it is
Yaskawa Corporation has created an industrial robot with artificial intelligence. The robot determines the colour and shape of the object before transporting it to its proper location. Yaskawa is adapting to the changing needs of different industries, including the automotive industry and parts production. Due to the influence of the Corona pandemic, “touching” has become
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
At an exhibition held by KUKA Robotics for the plastics industry, a precision micro-cleaning demonstration cell solution was presented, built and provided by KUKA Robotics System Partner Reliabotics, its process a novel CO2-based precision micro-cleaning technology in an engineered solution. and provided by KUKA Robotics System Partner Reliabotics. In the Reliabotics Fortimo MPP (Multi-Purpose Platform)
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
Is it better to be industrial or collaborative? We all want to get the most out of our production, but it is not easy to decide between the two options. It all depends on the environment in which the machine operates, how the operators need to interact with the robot and its main functions. Companies
Yaskawa has added new functions to its MP3300iec RBT solution from the ‘Singular Control’ end-to-end solution, which enables robots, servo drives, inverters and I/O systems to be controlled from a single controller. ‘Circular Conveyor Tracking’ allows automatic tracking of linear conveyor movements. By calculating the corresponding radius, the software can determine the exact position of
It will still be science fiction to some, but 3D printing is quickly breaking down typical engineering and design barriers and streamlining how the development business works. Last month, the city showed off Europe’s first 3D-printed house that was designed almost entirely by a robot. In recent years, the race to create the world’s first
