Swifti CRB 1300, an industrial collaborative robot from ABB, combines speed and precision with a payload capacity of up to 11 kg. It can be used for a wide range of production and product handling tasks, such as picking and placing objects in specific locations and palletising. The Swifti CRB 1300, a cobot from ABB,
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.
With its intelligent production and research centre in Augsburg, KUKA aims to introduce 5G autonomous private wireless networks, intelligent robots and automation technologies. The campus networking and application platform for Nokia’s Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) will start supporting product development immediately. The most significant advance in industrial networks is 5G, which should be widely available
In collaboration with the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), ABB Robotics has developed an automated neutralising antibody testing method that provides the most accurate way to assess a person’s immunity to different strains of Covid. Thanks to this technology, between 15 and more than 1,000 neutralising antibody tests are performed every day. Automating the
Constance, Germany-based startup Fruitcore Robotics has announced a €23 million Series B funding round for its industrial robotics and automation business. A robust, affordable and easy-to-use industrial robot. With this seemingly simple business concept, German robotics company fruitcore robotics is invigorating the robotics sector. These intelligent and ingenious technical aspects make this exceptional price-performance ratio
The company said the SWIFTI CRB 1300 robot arm bridges the gap between industrial robotics and collaborative robotics, and ABB unveiled it. The SWIFTI CRB 1300 can be used for a range of manufacturing and product handling applications, including pick-and-place, bolting and palletising, with a payload capacity of up to 11 kg (24.3 lb).

KUKA Robotics will be bringing its leading educational simulation and software technologies to the Association for Career & Technical Education (ACTE) CareerTech VISION 2022 conference in Las Vegas. Visitors to booth 327 will be able to experience KUKA’s ready2_educate mobile training cell, which offers a gateway to the world of robotics. ready2_edcucate is a modular
Gate grinding, filing, polishing and other material removal operations rely substantially on physical labour and require skill and experience to perform correctly. These tasks seem difficult to automate due to their complexity and subtlety, according to a paper from ATI Industrial Automation. Removing material from curved, rounded or irregular surfaces presents several process difficulties that
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
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.
