In the robotics industry, the Motoman MH24 is a six-axis articulated robot designed for high-speed tasks such as material handling, general operations, and other precision applications. While it is not a welding-specific robot like some models in Yaskawa’s AR series, its combination of speed, rigidity, and path accuracy makes it a viable option for welding
Industrial robots, like any machinery, require regular maintenance. But the key question is: do we act before a failure occurs or after it? Predictive maintenance redefines efficiency by anticipating breakdowns and optimising resources. Corrective: The Traditional Model Corrective maintenance takes place after a failure: when a servomotor stops, an axis loses calibration or a controller
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
Over the past ten years, a silent phenomenon has taken place in the global industry: while some manufacturing plants have closed due to cost pressures or failing to modernise in time, others have resurged with impressive strength without the need for multimillion-euro investments. What is the secret? Intelligent industrial reconstruction supported by refurbished robotics and
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
Yaskawa has launched the MOTOMAN ME1000, a six-axis robot designed for horizontal handling of heavy loads. With a capacity of up to 1,000 kg, this compact arm aims to meet the needs of sectors such as automotive, logistics, and construction, offering industrial flexibility. Horizontal Design and Energy Efficiency Unlike vertically articulated robots, the ME1000 features
In today’s industrial landscape, the demand for safer, more versatile, and easily integrable solutions has driven the rise of collaborative robotics. Collaborative robots, or cobots, allow humans and machines to work side by side without the need for complex physical barriers, opening up new possibilities across production lines, laboratories, small businesses, and highly customized environments.
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.
Depalletization, the process of removing products from a pallet, is a fundamental task in logistics and manufacturing. For years, this work has been labor-intensive, repetitive, and physically demanding, making it prone to human error and injury. However, with the advancement of industrial robotics and computer vision, the question of whether to automate depalletization has become
