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

PREDICTIVE VS CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE IN INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS

Industrial robots, like any machinery, require regular maintenance. But the key question is: do we act before a failure occurs or after it? Predictive maintenance redefines efficiency by anticipating breakdowns and optimising resources. Corrective: The Traditional Model Corrective maintenance takes place after a failure: when a servomotor stops, an axis loses calibration or a controller

KUKA KR30-3 ON RAIL WITH TWO ROTARY POSITIONERS: INDUSTRIAL CHALLENGES AND ADVANTAGES FOR PRODUCTION LINES

A recent video showcases a robotic cell featuring a KUKA KR30-3 mounted on a linear rail (track) and paired with two rotary positioners as part of an advanced handling or welding solution. This configuration is gaining ground as a flexible alternative for production lines, though it is not without challenges. Eurobots, as a provider of

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

ROBOROBOTS IN PRECISION AGRICULTURE: ACCESSIBLE TECHNOLOGY WITH REFURBISHED UNITSTS IN PRECISION AGRICULTURE: ACCESSIBLE TECHNOLOGY WITH REFURBISHED UNITS

Modern agriculture faces a challenge: producing more with fewer personnel and ever-increasing costs. Automation has become a necessity, not a luxury. However, many producers—especially medium and small ones—believe that bringing robotics to the field is beyond their reach. The reality is different: refurbished industrial robots are opening a new era for precision agriculture, offering advanced,

AUTOMATING RECYCLING: RECONDITIONED ROBOTICS AT THE SERVICE OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Industrial recycling is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. Until recently, the separation and processing of materials largely relied on traditional manual or mechanical methods. Today, thanks to robotics, these tasks are becoming automated, increasing efficiency and reducing workplace risks. What is truly innovative, however, is that much of this automation is being achieved using

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

FANUC M-20IA: PRECISION TESTING AT EUROBOTS BILBAO DEMONSTRATES EXACTING ENGINEERING STANDARDS

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.

LOW-COST ROBOTICS FOR INDUSTRIAL INSPECTION: FROM CONCEPT TO PRODUCTION LINE WITH THE KAWASAKI DUARO2

Industrial inspection has evolved from being a “necessary cost” to becoming a true driver of productivity. Collaborative robotics and modular platforms now enable small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as mid-sized manufacturers, to integrate quality control cells with ease. This approach helps overcome barriers related to cost, complexity, and space—without requiring major investments. In this
