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
Robots in industrial production are capable of performing a wide range of operations, such as handling parts, welding, gluing and measuring. The problem is that the robot must first learn each process step by means of software commands. The programming of a work step is considerably reduced with the KUKA.AppTech software. Similar to a library,
Yaskawa, one of the leading companies in the industrial robotics sector, has unveiled its new Motopick 4 software, which makes creating and optimising robot palletising patterns simple and accurate. The software is compatible with the YRC1000 and YRC1000micro robot controllers, which are the most advanced and compact in Yaskawa’s range. The software offers an intuitive
FANUC America, a leading industrial robotics company, has introduced its new heavy-duty cobots, which can handle objects weighing up to 35 kg. Cobots are collaborative robots that can work alongside humans safely and efficiently. FANUC America’s cobots are characterised by their ease of use, flexibility and intelligence. The new FANUC America cobots are the CRX-35iA
Swifti CRB 1300, an industrial collaborative robot from ABB, combines speed and precision with a payload capacity of up to 11 kg. It can be used for a wide range of production and product handling tasks, such as picking and placing objects in specific locations and palletising. The Swifti CRB 1300, a cobot from ABB,
During the ProMat 2023 manufacturing, distribution and supply chain equipment and systems event in Chicago, KUKA Robotics demonstrated the ability of its KR CYBERTECH Nano robot to efficiently retrieve products from boxes or containers within a holding cell. The robotics is used in the bin picking cell to detect components to be removed using machine
Yaskawa America, Inc.’s Motoman robotics division (Yaskawa Motoman) and Rapid Robotics have announced a new combination to enhance the industrial capabilities of the Rapid Machine Operator (RMO). As a result, RMO will be able to meet the diverse demands of North American manufacturers by offering increased speed, payload capacity and performance. Rapid Robotics has sought
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
Manufacturers are rethinking the merits of keeping industrial operations overseas due to rising wages abroad and rising transportation costs. The current generation of robots is a crucial component of the equation, as the offshoring of US industry is about to take off. Many companies that can be linked to the offshoring wave of the 1980s
Typically, a gantry-type (also known as Cartesian, linear or transverse) top-mounted three-axis robot is used to demould injection moulded parts. Pick-and-place automation is commonly used to demould injection moulded parts. According to Fanuc Robotics programme manager for the plastics industry, Joseph Portelli, the demand for part orientation capability is increasing. However, today’s moulders are looking
