To meet the growing demands of the electromobility industry, Kuka has introduced a new line of Fortec industrial robot arms. The KR Fortec ultra family, prepared for high payloads and moments of inertia, has set new benchmarks in the heavy payload range from 480 kg to 800 kg. Each of the five robot variants of
In collaboration with the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), ABB Robotics has developed an automated neutralising antibody testing method that provides the most accurate way to assess a person’s immunity to different strains of Covid. Thanks to this technology, between 15 and more than 1,000 neutralising antibody tests are performed every day. Automating the
Battery Builders (BBI), an industrial lead-acid battery manufacturer based in Naperville, Illinois, made the decision to modernise its building, and it seemed natural to include its six-station COS (Cast-On-Strap) equipment in those upgrades. It installed a Kawasaki high payload robot with a robotic cell consisting of six process stations working with robotic integrator MAC Engineering.
In Kangqiao, Shanghai, China, ABB formally opened its state-of-the-art, fully automated and adaptive robotics plant. The 67,000 sqm manufacturing and research facility, in which ABB invested $150 million (RMB 1.1 billion), will use its digital and automation technologies to produce next-generation robots, reinforcing its position as a leader in robotics and automation in China.

Without the need for new hardware, Yaskawa offers a technical solution for recovering the robot’s braking energy into the mains power supply. The latest YRC1000 robot controllers and all larger Motoman robot series are capable of directly converting the kinetic energy of downward and lateral movements into 400 V AC at 50 Hz. These Motoman
The smallest industrial robot ever made by ABB has been unveiled, opening up new opportunities for the creation of faster, more adaptable and higher quality smart wearable devices. Thanks to its small size, extraordinary payload and unmatched precision, the new IRB 1010 offers electronics manufacturers the ability to automate the manufacture of products such as
Fanuc is showcasing new solutions for industry, including an enhanced ROBODRILL, the R-2000iC/190S high-precision machining robot, the ceiling-mounted SCARA SR-3iA/U robot and the latest iteration of the CR-35iB collaborative robot, demonstrating the company’s dedication to research and development. Tom Bouchier, managing director of Fanuc UK, says that technological innovation and a strong commitment to R&D
ABB‘s latest collaborative robot, the GoFaTM 15000, will be on live display in a cell with two other cobots, performing both an arc welding application and a collaborative part picking application. By combining the cobot’s simple programming, welding software and 3D machine vision, we can create a welding island tailored to the demands of those
During PACK EXPO Las Vegas, FANUC America, a supplier of CNCs, robots and ROBOMACHINES, showcased a wide range of automation solutions for picking, packing, fulfilment and palletising. Palletising, packing, inspection and other tasks can be carried out with the help of FANUC’s CRX cobot, which is a simple and adaptable tool. The CRX cobot can
