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
Line designers can now use one machine to perform multiple operations thanks to robots that are highly flexible and provide fast multi-tooling. The need to increase the efficiency of the production cells to obtain the largest number of operations in the smallest space. Plants in established car-producing countries cannot simply decide to increase their footprint.

McStarlite is a California-based company that manufactures parts for the aerospace industry. Like lip liners, they are the doughnut-shaped lip that sticks to the front of an aircraft’s engine casing. This metal rim is machined and molded so that air flows smoothly around the engine. The traditional way of polishing lip skins was traditionally done
Is it better to be industrial or collaborative? We all want to get the most out of our production, but it is not easy to decide between the two options. It all depends on the environment in which the machine operates, how the operators need to interact with the robot and its main functions. Companies

It will still be science fiction to some, but 3D printing is quickly breaking down typical engineering and design barriers and streamlining how the development business works. Last month, the city showed off Europe’s first 3D-printed house that was designed almost entirely by a robot. In recent years, the race to create the world’s first
According to Eric Potter, general manager of FANUC America’s General Industries and Automotive Segment, “The new M-1000iA is FANUC’s largest serial link robot to date.” ” Current needs have changed requiring new solutions to process very large parts with greater versatility and better use of the work area. Especially in applications such as processing and
Collaborative robots (cobots) were first designed to perform highly repetitive, low-weight work that allows them to operate safely alongside human workers without the need to design and build bulky fences or barriers, providing maximum flexibility and efficiency; in the assistance of machines, assembly and minor packaging processes. In recent years, its capabilities have grown. Cobots
