HC10DTP and HC20DTP are the two new six-axis collaborative robotic arms for applications such as assembly, dispensing, machine maintenance, material handling, packaging and welding. Designed by Yaskawa Motoman. Each robot has four modes of collaborative operation and can switch between collaborative speed in PFL mode and maximum speed in industrial mode, meeting established safety requirements
When a robot operates without a vision system, the working environment must be configured and the robot must always access a predefined location, forcing it to employ high-precision positioning systems for the things to be handled so that the robot go to the exact location. Due to the fact that vision systems allow to establish
The robots are particularly resistant to cleaning chemicals and disinfectants and can clean under high pressure thanks to their robust construction. Special rules apply to robots used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The new KUKA “Hygienic Oil” (HO) product range, as well as the KUKA “Hygienic Machine” (HM) series of robots, were designed
The LR-10iA/10 mounts on the floor, upside down, or at an angle. FANUC claims that the robot can be easily installed on an automated guided vehicle or other mobile platform to perform many repetitive tasks or to automate idle machines. FANUC America, a leading provider of CNC machines, robotics and robots, has introduced the new
When choosing a robotic welding system, manufacturers need to consider several components: WHAT ARE THE COSTS AND WHAT IS THE PROFITABILITY OF MY INVESTMENT? Today, most industries use modern welding technologies to take advantage of their advanced properties and versatility. Automated systems, such as orbital welding, have become a primary alternative in welding. They result
Hirebotics’ Cobot Welder is the new system for programming via the Beacon smartphone app, eliminating the requirement for programming skills. In addition, it includes the UR10e collaborative robot from Universal Robots. Welding is often considered a labor-intensive tack and lock technique found in many discrete manufacturing assembly activities. While many components of welding are still
South Africa’s food and beverage (F&B) industry has never seen the future more uncertain as the consequences of Covid-19 have changed the consumption habits of changing consumers and retailers, supply networks have been halted along with analysis on food safety. They have been struggling to keep up with mega-trends like digitization and the evolution of
According to a survey by Ware2Go, 67 percent of Americans now work from home. This means that they require easier Internet shopping access. As COVID 19 reinvigorates the way Americans shop, e-commerce is becoming more important than ever. Claudia Jarrett, Country Director for EU Automation, a supplier of industrial components, explains why industries must turn
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
