Process automation is currently causing an extraordinary revolution in the industry. In this sense, industrial robots have emerged as a vital instrument to increase production and efficiency in various sectors, such as the manufacturing, chemical and automotive industries. With its articulated robots, which provide a multitude of advantages to its customers, ABB, a pioneer in
Yaskawa America presented robotic automation solutions at Automate that improve production and enable smooth operation. Experts from Motoman Robotics and Drives & Motion Division discussed application requirements and provided inspiration for the shop floor. The demonstration showcases the GP12 robot, a high-speed induction work cell, which exhibits efficient robotic automation to meet order fulfilment demands.
The Fanuc M-710iC/70 robot is a 6-axis industrial robot with a payload capacity of 70 kg and a reach of 2050 mm. It is an innovative model featuring a slim wrist, a rigid arm and a small footprint. It is suitable for a variety of applications such as handling, packaging, welding, assembly and dispensing. BENEFITS
SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Michigan – Robot safety is always a crucial component of automation, so at Automate 2023, KUKA Robotics highlighted Airskin safety technology on two industrial robots. In a 13-foot open area, KR AGILUS and CYBERTECH robots equipped with Airskin performed component handling and visual inspection as part of the demonstration, which illustrated the safe
According to the IFR’s World Robotics 2021 Industrial Robots study, there are more than three million industrial robots in use in factories around the world. By 2020, Spain will have 3,400 new robot installations globally, out of a total of 384,000 units supplied. By 2021, 12,000 industrial robots were deployed in agriculture and the food
Leading online retailer Amazon has unveiled a new industrial robotic arm capable of handling millions of different objects. It calls it the Sparrow robot, a new intelligent robotic device that speeds up the fulfilment process by moving individual products before they are packed, an important step towards cutting-edge technology and helping our workers. With considerable
The company said the SWIFTI CRB 1300 robot arm bridges the gap between industrial robotics and collaborative robotics, and ABB unveiled it. The SWIFTI CRB 1300 can be used for a range of manufacturing and product handling applications, including pick-and-place, bolting and palletising, with a payload capacity of up to 11 kg (24.3 lb). ABB’s
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.
Without the need for new hardware, Yaskawa offers a technical solution for recovering the robot’s braking energy into the mains power supply. The latest YRC1000 robot controllers and all larger Motoman robot series are capable of directly converting the kinetic energy of downward and lateral movements into 400 V AC at 50 Hz. These Motoman
The PL800 is a versatile and powerful 4-axis robot that offers high performance in palletising applications and many other logistics applications for automation and end-of-line packaging options. The North and South American markets for the Yaskawa Motoman PL800 palletising robot are now open. The robot has been created for “palletising applications, layer picking and other
