In the era of automation and digitalization, gantry material handling robots are transforming the industry. These robotic systems, which move linearly along a plane, are essential for tasks such as assembly, machine loading and unloading, and logistics. In this article, we will explore how leading brands like KUKA, FANUC, ABB, Motoman, and Kawasaki are innovating
Battery Builders (BBI), an industrial lead-acid battery manufacturer based in Naperville, Illinois, made the decision to modernise its building, and it seemed natural to include its six-station COS (Cast-On-Strap) equipment in those upgrades. It installed a Kawasaki high payload robot with a robotic cell consisting of six process stations working with robotic integrator MAC Engineering.
