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
ABB Robotics has released a solution. ABB‘s High Speed Alignment software, backed by 50 years of software experience, is the first to enable manufacturers to increase the speed and accuracy of 6-axis robots by 70% and 50%, respectively. Visual Servoing technology, which uses one or more cameras and a computer vision system to control the
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)
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
Fanuc is launching its latest educational package, which combines a vertical machining center with a CRX-10iA collaborative robot. Developed in conjunction with several leading industry partners, the ROBODRILL educational cell brings automated CNC milling to the training market at a competitive price. Trainees can receive hands-on experience programming and operating CNC machine tools, as well
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
According to Eric Potter, general manager of FANUC America’s General Industries and Automotive Segment, “The new M-1000iA is FANUC’s largest serial link robot to date.” ” Current needs have changed requiring new solutions to process very large parts with greater versatility and better use of the work area. Especially in applications such as processing and
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
