In the field of industrial automation, SCARA robots (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) have been an effective solution for tasks requiring precision and repeatability. However, applications in industries demanding strict hygiene conditions, such as food, pharmaceutical, and optical industries, require greater resistance and the ability to withstand rigorous cleaning procedures. This is where the SCARA
With rising international wages and increasing transportation costs forcing companies to reconsider the merits of maintaining production facilities overseas, the groundwork has been laid for the offshoring of US manufacturing. An important component of the equation is the newer generation of robots, and the environment in which this shift will occur reflects new economic realities.
An industrial pick-and-place robot is used to handle and place products on a production line. They are typically used in high-volume manufacturing environments where they can quickly and accurately load products onto conveyor belts or other production tools. This may involve actions such as removing products from one machine and placing them on the conveyor
