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
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. According to Marc Segura, president of ABB’s Robotics Division, the pandemic has accelerated far-reaching global megatrends,
Tecnoideal, an integrator for the medical industry, has just added new ABB industrial robots to its automated applications. After being acquired by Medica Srl, one of the first companies to provide worldwide consulting for the production of disposable products for dialysis and infusion, the company was transformed. From ideation, feasibility and design to installation and
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
ABB adds robots for complicated manufacturing applications to its family with the addition of two new robot families. ABB‘s IRB 5710 and 5720 robots offer higher productivity and better performance with increased uptime for applications such as electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing, foundry, forging, rubber and plastics, and metal fabrication. They offer increased speed, accuracy, flexibility,
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
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)
Industrial robots are now widely employed in the rapidly expanding e-commerce and logistics industries. In the growing business of logistics and e-commerce, industrial robots are increasingly used for activities. Picking unsorted products requires speed-optimized lean robot kinematics with a long arm and very narrow wrists, as well as advanced image processing technologies, for greater reach.
