The difference between what the technical datasheets say and what actually happens on the shop floor “On paper it’s precise… but in real production?” One of the most frequent — and most honest — questions production teams ask is this: “Will the robot really be more precise than what we do today?” It’s not a
In the world of industrial robotics, FANUC and Yaskawa Motoman have established themselves as two of the most recognized brands globally. Both companies offer robust and reliable solutions for a wide range of applications, from welding and assembly to palletizing and material handling. However, their technical approaches and design philosophies differ in ways that can
In industrial settings, a robot’s ability to perform multiple tasks without direct human intervention is essential for maximizing efficiency. Automatic tool changers allow robotic arms to switch between different devices—such as grippers, suction cups, or welding torches—without halting production. FANUC, a leader in automation, has developed solutions that integrate this functionality to offer greater flexibility
At the recent NVIDIA GTC 2025 event, Vention presented an innovative container selection solution powered by artificial intelligence (AI), highlighting the collaboration between NVIDIA, ABB, and McAlpine & Co. Ltd. This demonstration underscores how technological synergies can accelerate the adoption of automation in the manufacturing industry. During the presentation, an ABB GoFa™ CRB 15000 collaborative
Collaborative robotics, or “cobots,” has revolutionized the industry by enabling safe and efficient interaction between humans and robots. Their strategic implementation can optimize processes and generate a significant return on investment (ROI) in reduced timeframes. 1. Initial investment and associated costs • Cobot cost: Prices vary depending on the capabilities and specifications of the robot.
In a world where technological innovation is key to staying competitive, ABB has taken a significant step by initiating a strategic collaboration with the Austrian company Engineering Software Steyr (ESS). This alliance aims to develop advanced simulation tools that will transform the operations of automotive paint shops, optimizing processes, predicting failures, and improving decision-making in
