A recent video showcases a robotic cell featuring a KUKA KR30-3 mounted on a linear rail (track) and paired with two rotary positioners as part of an advanced handling or welding solution. This configuration is gaining ground as a flexible alternative for production lines, though it is not without challenges. Eurobots, as a provider of
Purchasing a robot is not simply a technical decision. In reality, it is a financial one. Many companies believe that the most expensive robot is the best, or that buying new is the safest way to “avoid risks”. However, when looked at from a business perspective, with numbers and strategy in mind, the reality is
The KUKA KR 510 R3080, part of KUKA’s QUANTEC/FORTEC family, is one of the most powerful high-payload industrial robots available on the market. Designed to handle extremely large and heavy parts—with a nominal payload of around 510 kg and a reach exceeding 3 meters—it offers a combination of strength, reach, and repeatability that makes it
Industrial recycling is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. Until recently, the separation and processing of materials largely relied on traditional manual or mechanical methods. Today, thanks to robotics, these tasks are becoming automated, increasing efficiency and reducing workplace risks. What is truly innovative, however, is that much of this automation is being achieved using
In the era of accelerated automation, many factories face the same dilemma: their robots work, but their control systems are outdated. The solution? Retrofitting. Modernising an obsolete industrial robot not only saves investment, it also prolongs its service life and improves its performance at a much lower cost than a new machine. What is robotic
At URT’s facilities in Zamudio, near Bilbao (Vizcaya), a precision test was recently carried out on the Fanuc M-20iA robot as part of the company’s industrial robot reconditioning process. The goal was to verify and certify that this model meets the highest standards of repeatability, positioning accuracy, and load response—key factors in demanding industrial environments.
FANUC, a global leader in industrial robotics, is reaffirming its dedication to technical training by becoming a Premium Sponsor of EuroSkills 2025, which will take place from September 9 to 13 in Herning, Denmark. This partnership reflects FANUC’s ongoing support for nurturing young talent in robotic systems integration. EuroSkills, part of the WorldSkills Europe network,
In the world of industrial robotics, FANUC and Yaskawa Motoman have established themselves as two of the most recognized brands globally. Both companies offer robust and reliable solutions for a wide range of applications, from welding and assembly to palletizing and material handling. However, their technical approaches and design philosophies differ in ways that can
Collaborative robots like the UR10 are reshaping industrial painting in remarkable ways. One standout example is Brandt A/S, a Danish company with over 60 years of experience. In October 2024, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) released a study highlighting how integrating UR10 cobots in finishing operations has enhanced precision, consistency, and efficiency across the
In the ever-evolving landscape of both conventional and Industry 4.0 robotics, the efficient design and use of robotic work cells is essential. Within this context, Realtime Robotics, a key player in intelligent automation, has made a significant breakthrough by unveiling two new direct integrations for its revolutionary cloud-based platform, Resolver. These additions not only broaden
