ABB‘s latest collaborative robot, the GoFaTM 15000, will be on live display in a cell with two other cobots, performing both an arc welding application and a collaborative part picking application. By combining the cobot’s simple programming, welding software and 3D machine vision, we can create a welding island tailored to the demands of those
Numerous statistics suggest that the majority of companies in a variety of sectors intend to increase their use of automation and robots. Seventy per cent of US companies are planning changes to their operations, with 37% planning to bring production back in-house and 33% looking to offshore and move their operations closer to home. ABB’s
To help companies address the welder shortage, ABB has introduced OmniVance FlexArc Compact, a new, more compact welding system with greater flexibility, simplicity and better integration. This revolutionary system helps fabricators maximise space because it occupies the smallest footprint in its class. It also allows flexibility because it can accommodate up to four additional robots
Industrial robots improve productivity, product quality and efficiency, making them ideal for manufacturers large and small. Many companies looking to automate their applications cannot afford the upfront cost of new equipment. Using used industrial robots for new applications is an excellent way to minimize the cost of a project and increase the return on investment.
One of the most popular robotic automation trends is small industrial robots. The rate at which manufacturers are automating their processes is attributed to the proliferation of small robots. Small robots can automate processes that would be impossible for a large robot to do. Improved efficiency Because industries believe that robots are more reliable and
The KUKA KR QUANTEC PA robot presents the second version of this much faster palletising robot with shorter cycle times. The robot grips cleanly and is a great advantage for the food industry, thanks to its load capacity of up to 240 kilograms and its version with NSF H1 food lubricants. The KR QUANTEC PA
The problems experienced by manufacturers over the last year and a half have taught us a lot. Many lessons were learned, ranging from the need for supply chain resilience to the usefulness of remote monitoring. When you include changing customer expectations and ongoing technological advances, you have a wealth of data to sort through and
In the coming years, there will be an increase in the number of industrial robots installed around the world. Automated 3D vision is an emerging trend in robotic work cells. The robot can use this technology to determine the location, size, depth, and color of an object. Logistics, food processing, life sciences and manufacturing are
Cobots that work alongside humans in automated processes are already in the future. Collaborative solutions are already transforming the way we operate and eventually the industrial world we know, whether they are used in production, storage, maintenance or training. They are also suitable for entry level automation applications because they are easy to develop and
In the Production and Processing line, KUKA Robotics displayed its extensive product line of automation solutions tailored to this segment of the industry. Food processing industries can now use robots to automate processes that were previously difficult, if not impossible, to automate thanks to this diverse range of products. The KUKA Food Series is available
