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
FANUC’s R-2000iC/190S 6-axis articulated arm robot is designed to overcome obstacles in precision applications such as direct component manufacturing. While the use of robots for milling applications is not new, most current solutions focus on workpiece materials such as plastic and resin. The R-2000iC/190S, on the other hand, allows users to mill more difficult materials
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
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. According to Marc Segura, president of ABB’s Robotics Division, the pandemic has accelerated far-reaching global megatrends,
Cobots that work alongside humans in automated processes are already in the future. Collaborative solutions are already transforming the way we operate and eventually the industrial world we know, whether they are used in production, storage, maintenance or training. They are also suitable for entry level automation applications because they are easy to develop and
The Fourth Industrial Revolution has robotization and artificial intelligence in companies, two of the keys that will create a completely new ecosystem. The types of industrial robots available today in the industry are fully adapted to new needs. Currently, robots such as the AVG or Scara models have been updated to be able to serve
The NSF was awarded to an interdisciplinary team that includes collaboration between the University of Minnesota Taubman School of Architecture and Urban Planning and the College of Engineering, as well as external research collaborations with the University of Florida and Washington State University. KUKA Robotics robots are helping the University of Michigan (U of M)
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
The office of HANNAH, supported by Leslie Lok and Sasa Zivkovic, can be a U.S.-based design and analysis application that has been experimenting with digital style and fabrication techniques through all kinds of comes from piece of furniture to urbanism. Each a professor on the university’s faculty of Architecture, Art and Planning, Leslie and Sasa
