Spec sheets vs shop-floor reality On paper everything looks precise. In production you face tolerances, scrap risk, manual tweaks, and material variability. The honest question is: “Will the robot actually be more accurate than what we do today?” Accuracy vs repeatability Repeatability The robot’s ability to return to the same point over and over. Typical
In many companies, the decision to automate is not held back by the cost of the robot or by floor space, but by a less visible—yet decisive—concern: technical dependency. The question is not always stated openly, but it quickly emerges in any investment committee: What happens when the supplier leaves? Robotic automation introduces powerful technology,
Palletizing is one of the most critical stages at the end of the production line. Although it is often perceived as a simple process, in practice it involves occupational risks, production bottlenecks, and hidden operational costs. For many years this process has been handled using traditional systems: manual palletizing, semi‑automatic solutions, or low‑flexibility dedicated machines.
The truth is that not every industrial task benefits from robotic automation—and even fewer are genuinely compatible with a refurbished robot. The key lies in understanding whether your process meets the fundamental technical conditions that professionals use to evaluate automation projects: aspects such as geometry, repeatability, production volume, accessibility, safety, and the overall stability of
In today’s industrial market, both new and refurbished robots have a legitimate and distinct role within automation strategies. Neither option is universally better; instead, each suits particular technical, operational, and financial requirements. The right decision shouldn’t be based on personal preference, but should come from a careful, comparative analysis that takes into account measurable criteria
The total investment goes far beyond the price of the robot itself. A robotic welding cell involves a complete package that covers the industrial robot, mechanical and electrical integration, welding equipment and peripherals, software and programming, staff training, and ongoing maintenance and spare parts. The industry takes this comprehensive approach because it best reflects the
The effectiveness of a robotic welding integration project is determined by tangible outcomes in several crucial aspects. First and foremost, the quality of the weld bead is of utmost importance, as it directly impacts the strength, safety, and compliance with regulations. High-quality robotic welding results in fewer defects such as porosity, lack of fusion, undercut,
A recent video showcases a robotic cell featuring a KUKA KR30-3 mounted on a linear rail (track) and paired with two rotary positioners as part of an advanced handling or welding solution. This configuration is gaining ground as a flexible alternative for production lines, though it is not without challenges. Eurobots, as a provider of
In the world of industrial automation, medium-payload robots represent an ideal balance between strength and agility. Among them, the FANUC M-710iC/50 has established itself as a reliable solution for processes that demand precision, speed, and adaptability. Supported by URT, this model remains a competitive alternative for companies seeking to optimize their operations with a cost-effective
In an increasingly competitive industrial landscape, the choice between purchasing a brand-new industrial robot or opting for a refurbished one has become a crucial consideration for many manufacturing plants. This decision not only impacts the initial investment, but also factors such as ongoing maintenance, technological integration, installation speed and the overall sustainability of the project.
