Compact Spot Welding Robot
FANUC’s R-2000iD/210FH Robot offers system uptime while operating in tight workspaces.
Cassette Levelers Achieve Superior Flatness
Automatic Feed’s three new models handle many material types as well as a range of widths, thicknesses and yield strengths. Gearboxes powered by AC servo-driven motors help achieve high precision and accuracy.
Faster 3D Printing Software Without Manual Programming
CAD design to final modeling is expedited with ABB’s RobotStudio for low-volume, high-mixing printing. Users program robots to complete production prototypes in 30 minutes.
3-Finger Electric Gripper Handles Wide Range of Cylindrical Objects
OnRobot’s 3FG15 three-finger gripper with a 150mm stroke is a powerful alternative to bulkier and less-flexible three-finger grippers currently on the market – a unique solution. The new gripper excels at heavy-payload machine-tending applications that require high precision and flexible handling.
Versatile Safety Light Curtain
The F3SG-SR Series optical system from Omron Automation Americas provides finger, hand, arm/leg, and full-body protection at machine openings. The safety light curtain provides stable detection up to 66 feet (20 meters) even in harsh environments.
Upsizing with Jigless Welding
Greater robot payloads are opening the door to automatic fabrication of large, unwieldy components.
How to Maximize Sorting Flexibility for Unloading Laser Cut Parts
The BySort add-on module unloads and sorts individual parts by job to expand the flexibility of the ByTrans Cross automation system for loading and unloading laser cutting systems from Bystronic.
Data Requirements for Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing
Ready to enter the world of Big Data? Before AI can effectively learn a model of a manufacturing process, the data requirements must be properly designed and fed enough examples of the right data for the algorithms to automatically learn complex patterns from a sample of data. Here are some insights to help you get prepared.
Skilled Hands
Humanoid manipulators with an ever-higher flexibility of motion are here and will grow in demand in the future because the closer human beings and robots work together, the greater the relevance of five-fingered gripping hands. Here’s why.
