It can keep up with the ever-increasing quality demands on machined workpieces through the use of automation. At the same time, you maintain flexibility in the ever-shortening gaps between technical advances. Productivity gains will allow you to effectively combat the ongoing price slump, without sacrificing quality. Even the tightest deadlines can be met with ease
Machine Tending is a term used in the industrial sector to describe the “care and attention of machines”. The metalworking industry, and more especially machining processes, is one of the industries with the highest demand for automated applications. These processes are repetitive and involve medium to long batches. As a result, companies want solutions that
A collaborative robot collaborates with humans in a defined space without risk of serious injury or accidents. The appeal of a cobot is not only its collaborative aspect, but also its ease of installation and return on investment (ROI). The collaborative robot series has taken off in a variety of industries, enabling new technological breakthroughs
At Modex 2022, FANUC America, the world leader in CNC, robotics and ROBOMACHINES, introduced new CRX collaborative robots, as well as a variety of automation solutions for the warehousing and logistics industries. FANUC CRX cobots are easy to use, reliable and versatile enough to perform a wide variety of tasks. When the CRX comes into
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
Fanuc’s ARC welding robots will make automated welding more feasible for companies with limited floor space but massive work pieces. High-batch manufacturing lines, especially those handling parts larger than 1500mm in diameter, can benefit from the ARCMate 100iD/10L. Its repeatability and quality control capabilities make it a highly desirable addition to manufacturing lines that must
In the coming years, there will be an increase in the number of industrial robots installed around the world. Automated 3D vision is an emerging trend in robotic work cells. The robot can use this technology to determine the location, size, depth, and color of an object. Logistics, food processing, life sciences and manufacturing are
ABB has developed a set of growth forecasts, looking at the key aspects driving demand for robots in the coming year, as companies across many sectors look for new ways to improve their productivity and competitiveness after the epidemic.
