Robotics software company Wandelbots GmbH, based in Dresden (Germany), dedicated to developing robotics software to make robots easily accessible, has introduced the No-Code to Robotics category where robots can be taught using an intuitive input device (TracePen) accelerating automation in industries. Wandelbots has announced the addition of FANUC to its list of robotics suppliers. The
The global move to electric cars presents enormous prospects for Japanese industrial robot manufacturer Fanuc. Compared to petrol cars, electric vehicles are quite different in design: they need fewer parts, for example. However, Yamaguchi pointed out that production lines for electric vehicles employ more robots than those for petrol vehicles. Recently, most of our major
In Kangqiao, Shanghai, China, ABB formally opened its state-of-the-art, fully automated and adaptive robotics plant. The 67,000 sqm manufacturing and research facility, in which ABB invested $150 million (RMB 1.1 billion), will use its digital and automation technologies to produce next-generation robots, reinforcing its position as a leader in robotics and automation in China. Sami

The smallest industrial robot ever made by ABB has been unveiled, opening up new opportunities for the creation of faster, more adaptable and higher quality smart wearable devices. Thanks to its small size, extraordinary payload and unmatched precision, the new IRB 1010 offers electronics manufacturers the ability to automate the manufacture of products such as
Fanuc is showcasing new solutions for industry, including an enhanced ROBODRILL, the R-2000iC/190S high-precision machining robot, the ceiling-mounted SCARA SR-3iA/U robot and the latest iteration of the CR-35iB collaborative robot, demonstrating the company’s dedication to research and development. Tom Bouchier, managing director of Fanuc UK, says that technological innovation and a strong commitment to R&D
Metallic and non-metallic materials are being moulded by robots more frequently, with the latter being processed according to hardness, geometric complexity, physical tolerance and desired surface polish. Industrial robots now have better mechanical capabilities and can produce goods at higher speeds thanks to recent technological advances. Worldwide, the use of robotics in production is steadily
The vast majority of jobs still require manual programming, although new offline robot programming tools are evolving and becoming more widely used. The industry standard for CNC machine programming is to employ robust, easy-to-use offline software. As a result, overall manufacturing costs have been reduced, accuracy has improved, machine downtime has been reduced, more complex
Since 1817, the Parthenon marbles, which date from 447-432 BC, have been in the British Museum. While serving as an envoy to the Ottoman Empire, Lord Elgin bought the marbles, which some say were looted. Greek advocacy groups have urged Britain to return the artworks, claiming that the Turks were violating the wishes of the
