The problems experienced by manufacturers over the last year and a half have taught us a lot. Many lessons were learned, ranging from the need for supply chain resilience to the usefulness of remote monitoring. When you include changing customer expectations and ongoing technological advances, you have a wealth of data to sort through and
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
Fanuc’s ARC welding robots will make automated welding more feasible for companies with limited floor space but massive work pieces. High-batch manufacturing lines, especially those handling parts larger than 1500mm in diameter, can benefit from the ARCMate 100iD/10L. Its repeatability and quality control capabilities make it a highly desirable addition to manufacturing lines that must
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
The Fourth Industrial Revolution has robotization and artificial intelligence in companies, two of the keys that will create a completely new ecosystem. The types of industrial robots available today in the industry are fully adapted to new needs. Currently, robots such as the AVG or Scara models have been updated to be able to serve
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
Many were pleased with the technological advances when Yaskawa upgraded its most popular Motoman HP20 robot with the GP25: improved controls, higher payload and spindle speeds, as well as a hollow-arm manual spindle construction that allows for safe cable routing. However, several European buyers who had long admired the earlier HP20 still secretly longed for
