The implementation of industrial and service robots has transformed multiple sectors, from manufacturing to personal care services. However, the rise of these technologies demands a priority focus on safety. In a recent presentation by engineer Theo Jacobs for the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA), the importance of ensuring that robots are safe
The U.S. manufacturing industry has experienced a notable increase in the adoption of industrial robots, registering a 12% increase in installations during 2023, reaching a total of 44,303 units. This growth reflects the growing confidence of companies in automation to improve efficiency and competitiveness in the global market. Automotive Sector: Pioneer in Automation The automotive
Currently, downtime remains one of the most persistent challenges for manufacturers. Although the industry has made notable advances in improving productivity and efficiency, machine and production line stoppages continue to have a significant impact on profitability. Fortunately, technology continues to evolve to offer increasingly innovative solutions that reduce this lost time, ensuring that factories operate
Small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) face a series of challenges that can limit their growth and competitiveness in the global market. These challenges include high bureaucratic burdens, lack of access to advanced technologies, and difficulties in obtaining adequate financing. However, the implementation of robotic automation offers effective solutions to overcome these barriers and boost
Fanuc industrial robots stand out for their reliability and efficiency in a wide variety of applications, from automotive to electronics. However, like any mechanical or electronic equipment, they can experience motor failures that affect their performance. Recognizing and solving these problems early not only increases the robot’s lifespan but also improves productivity and reduces operating
In a constantly evolving world, companies face the challenge of staying competitive while optimizing their operations. The solution to many of these challenges lies in industrial robotics, a technology that is redefining the limits of what is possible. Game-changing trends Integrated Artificial Intelligence: Today’s industrial robots are no longer just simple programmable machines. Thanks to
In the dynamic world of the graphic industry, automation is not just a trend but a necessity to stay competitive. The German group Baumann, known for its leadership in manufacturing machinery for this sector, has taken a step further with the launch of its fully automated paper cutting system under the baumannperfecta brand. Thanks to
Robotic automation has revolutionized multiple industries, and art is no exception. Seven-axis robots, designed for sculpting, carving, and milling expanded polystyrene (EPS), are transforming the way sculptures and prototypes are created. These robots not only improve efficiency and precision but also allow artists and manufacturers to explore new creative possibilities. What is a Seven-Axis Robot?
In the world of industrial technology, robotic automation has become a fundamental pillar for improving efficiency and reducing costs. URT, a leading company in automation solutions, offers a range of industrial robots that adapt to the specific needs of various industries. Among its standout products are the MOTOMAN HP20-6 with DX100 controller and the 5-axis
Collaborative robotics, or “cobots,” has revolutionized the industry by enabling safe and efficient interaction between humans and robots. Their strategic implementation can optimize processes and generate a significant return on investment (ROI) in reduced timeframes. 1. Initial investment and associated costs • Cobot cost: Prices vary depending on the capabilities and specifications of the robot.
