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
Paint robots fine-tune the spraying of paint or adhesives, bringing clear benefits. The long-term use of robotic automation helps industries save on materials and costs by establishing a safer working environment and delivering consistent end quality. A slim-arm, compact robot design with high speed and six axes is perfect for a successful paint application. Product
Logistics centres don’t send pallets of single items, but shipments of mixed items. Huge trucks deliver items to the logistics centre and someone must unload the truck. During the unloading of the truck, each item must be registered and then stored. For this purpose Universal Robots and Mujin Corp created an automated system. With the
Maintenance of industrial robots is critical to ensure they work as intended for as long as possible. If your company has robots or you are considering adding them as soon as possible, understanding which maintenance practices to employ can help you get the most out of your investment. Dismantling a robot simply because it is
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
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
