Fanuc is launching its latest educational package, which combines a vertical machining center with a CRX-10iA collaborative robot. Developed in conjunction with several leading industry partners, the ROBODRILL educational cell brings automated CNC milling to the training market at a competitive price. Trainees can receive hands-on experience programming and operating CNC machine tools, as well
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 Automation World’s recent robotics adoption survey, some vertical industries saw a significant increase in investment in robotics due to the need to socially distance, reorient supply chains and increase throughput, and others saw investment paralysis. As demand for their products fell, their decision-making process was paralyzed by political and economic uncertainty. Despite the
The Japanese manufacturer of industrial Fanuc robots sees that in the changes and advances in the electric vehicle market, it promises to open more doors for the acquisition of industrial robots. President and CEO Kenji Yamaguchi explained. Yamaguchi also commented that the design of electric vehicles has efficient characteristics that make it different from gasoline
It is not enough to use automation processes, you have to take into account several components to get the most out of it. Errors and mistakes are common when setting up automation processes in manufacturing. Now professionals debate whether these gadgets in manufacturing will create more jobs than they displace, and 52% suspect they will.
Pick and place activities are prevalent in most robotic applications, both in industry (machine care, assembly or palletizing / depalletizing), as well as service sectors. These autonomous procedures are, therefore, more than consolidated in specific organized contexts and with certain types of components. When components with high variability or in less situations must be handled,
An advisory committee at the Manufacturing Automation and Robotics Summit 2019, discussed typical topics associated with automation installations and how companies can master them. UK manufacturing companies are forced to adapt to the confluence of major trends in labor supply, consolidation of the supply chain and optimization of the balance between quality and cost, a
With a focus on flexibility, modularity and ease of use, KUKA AI North American nation presented various innovative automation technologies and solutions at the Canadian producing Technology Show 2021, as well as container selection and machine care. Fair attendees enjoyed innovations such as KR AGILUS 6-axis compact robots, KR C5 small robot controller, ready2_educate mobile
Artificial Intelligence (AI) makes it possible for machines to learn from past experiences and stimuli. It has created robots and machines currently capable of participating in numerous fields. This contribution has been considered of great importance to mankind. As technology advances, researchers are developing new and better forms of AI that can be easier and
