MOTOMAN MH24-10 “HIGH SPEED”: AN EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVE FOR AUTOMATED WELDING

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

WHAT IS THE TOTAL COST OF INVESTING IN A ROBOTIC WELDING SOLUTION, INCLUDING THE ROBOT, INTEGRATION, SOFTWARE, AND TRAINING?

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 USED ROBOT ECONOMY: UNDERSTANDING THE TRUE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP (TCO) VERSUS A NEW ROBOT

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

ROBOTICS FOR INDUSTRIAL RECONSTRUCTION: HOW REFURBISHED MODULAR CELLS ARE RESTORING COMPETITIVENESS TO FACTORIES

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

RETROFITTING: HOW TO UPGRADE AN OBSOLETE INDUSTRIAL ROBOT STEP-BY-STEP

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era of accelerated automation, many factories face the same dilemma: their robots work, but their control systems are outdated.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

DEPALLETISING: TO AUTOMATE OR NOT? AN ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS 4.0 AND TRADITIONAL ROBOTICS

Depalletization, the process of removing products from a pallet, is a fundamental task in logistics and manufacturing. For years, this work has been labor-intensive, repetitive, and physically demanding, making it prone to human error and injury. However, with the advancement of industrial robotics and computer vision, the question of whether to automate depalletization has become
