For a long time, industrial robots operated in isolated environments, disconnected from the rest of a company’s systems. Today, that reality has changed. The need for remote monitoring, production data collection, predictive maintenance and traceability has led to connecting robots to corporate networks and even cloud platforms. As a result, a relatively new concern has
In the robotics industry, the Motoman MH24 is a six-axis articulated robot designed for high-speed tasks such as material handling, general operations, and other precision applications. While it is not a welding-specific robot like some models in Yaskawa’s AR series, its combination of speed, rigidity, and path accuracy makes it a viable option for welding
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
Purchasing a robot is not simply a technical decision. In reality, it is a financial one. Many companies believe that the most expensive robot is the best, or that buying new is the safest way to “avoid risks”. However, when looked at from a business perspective, with numbers and strategy in mind, the reality is
The electronics sector increasingly demands precision, speed and flexibility in production processes. From smartphones to automotive components, the miniaturisation of parts and the complexity of assemblies require technologies that surpass human limitations without compromising quality. In this context, the ABB IRB 1300 has established itself as a key industrial robot for high-demand electronic assembly, combining
Over the past ten years, a silent phenomenon has taken place in the global industry: while some manufacturing plants have closed due to cost pressures or failing to modernise in time, others have resurged with impressive strength without the need for multimillion-euro investments. What is the secret? Intelligent industrial reconstruction supported by refurbished robotics and
In the era of accelerated automation, many factories face the same dilemma: their robots work, but their control systems are outdated. The solution? Retrofitting. Modernising an obsolete industrial robot not only saves investment, it also prolongs its service life and improves its performance at a much lower cost than a new machine. What is robotic
At URT’s facilities in Zamudio, near Bilbao (Vizcaya), a precision test was recently carried out on the Fanuc M-20iA robot as part of the company’s industrial robot reconditioning process. The goal was to verify and certify that this model meets the highest standards of repeatability, positioning accuracy, and load response—key factors in demanding industrial environments.
FANUC, a global leader in industrial robotics, is reaffirming its dedication to technical training by becoming a Premium Sponsor of EuroSkills 2025, which will take place from September 9 to 13 in Herning, Denmark. This partnership reflects FANUC’s ongoing support for nurturing young talent in robotic systems integration. EuroSkills, part of the WorldSkills Europe network,
Industry 4.0 demands increasingly specialized and efficient solutions, especially in critical environments like cleanrooms. In this context, KUKA Robotics has taken a significant leap forward with its latest innovation: the KMR iisy CR. This autonomous mobile robot (AMR) not only sets new standards in all-terrain robotics but also redefines automation in ultra-clean environments such as
