The Fanuc M-710iC/70 robot is a 6-axis industrial robot with a payload capacity of 70 kg and a reach of 2050 mm. It is an innovative model featuring a slim wrist, a rigid arm and a small footprint. It is suitable for a variety of applications such as handling, packaging, welding, assembly and dispensing. BENEFITS
Simple arc welding is the focus of the new KR CYBERTECH nano ARC HW Edition robot. With KUKA as a reliable partner, this hollow wrist robot offers the best entry point to efficient automation. The German company has created a new line of arc welding robots to help its customers take advantage of the benefits
Kevin Gavin of KUKA Robotics Corporation says: “Calculating the total life cycle cost of a piece of equipment, such as a robot, is an effective approach that takes into consideration not only the initial cost, but also the production throughput and all costs associated with maintaining the robot to calculate its true cost. Gavin suggests
Robot-based automation is a growing trend in the industrial sector, offering numerous benefits such as increased productivity, quality and safety. However, implementing a robot-based automation system can be challenging, as it involves a number of steps and decisions that can affect the time and cost of the project. Therefore, it is important to follow some
During the ProMat 2023 manufacturing, distribution and supply chain equipment and systems event in Chicago, KUKA Robotics demonstrated the ability of its KR CYBERTECH Nano robot to efficiently retrieve products from boxes or containers within a holding cell. The robotics is used in the bin picking cell to detect components to be removed using machine
To meet the growing demands of the electromobility industry, Kuka has introduced a new line of Fortec industrial robot arms. The KR Fortec ultra family, prepared for high payloads and moments of inertia, has set new benchmarks in the heavy payload range from 480 kg to 800 kg. Each of the five robot variants of
Typically, a gantry-type (also known as Cartesian, linear or transverse) top-mounted three-axis robot is used to demould injection moulded parts. Pick-and-place automation is commonly used to demould injection moulded parts. According to Fanuc Robotics programme manager for the plastics industry, Joseph Portelli, the demand for part orientation capability is increasing. However, today’s moulders are looking
US-based Motoman Robotics presents its new collaborative robot (cobot) for the first time. The HC20XP cobot’s extended reach makes it ideal for end-of-line palletising applications. The cobot can reach entire 80-inch pallets thanks to its extended reach and without the aid of a lift or hoist. At the same time it can move heavier boxes
Leading online retailer Amazon has unveiled a new industrial robotic arm capable of handling millions of different objects. It calls it the Sparrow robot, a new intelligent robotic device that speeds up the fulfilment process by moving individual products before they are packed, an important step towards cutting-edge technology and helping our workers. With considerable
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). ABB’s
