TTG Acquires Alpha Integration
This deal will help TTG expand into new markets, including the medical and cosmetics sectors.
Forge Ahead in Robot Control
Eliminate the drag on productivity caused by complicated programming of industrial robots. The Forge suite of products from Ready Robotics utilizes one user interface across multiple robotic brands, making programming so easy it feels intuitive, with no previous robotic experience required.
This Gripper IS Rocket Science
Built with NASA-created technology, the unique Gecko Gripper from OnRobot is a cost-efficient alternative to vacuum systems, replacing compressed air with tactile technology that adhere to surfaces the same way that geckos climb.
Vending and Inventory Control of Shop Consumables
An industrial vending and software system can provide effective inventory control for low- and high-cost disposable and reusable items. Here’s one that not only reduces inventory carrying costs, it also reduces downtime to ensuring the shop always has what is needed to finish the job.
Motion Industries Acquires Axis New England
This deal expands their presence in advanced machine automation, motion control, robotics, and machine vision.
Easy Robotic Automation for a Stronger Workforce and Better ROI
Smart manufacturing tools are helping shops of all sizes deal with labor shortages and production inefficiencies. When implemented and managed correctly, these tools can aid human workers, create a more productive workforce and increase overall competitiveness.
How Robotics Can Offset Trade Cost Hikes
To offset the rising cost of metals and avoid hurting their bottom lines, many shops are turning to robotics for repetitive-based processes to help optimize their workforce productivity through precision and consistency.
Embracing the Robotic Revolution
U.S. manufacturers cannot ignore the growing implications of failing to adopt modern robotics and automated technologies. Rather than fearing the rise of the robot, Americans must further embrace the technology or risk getting left behind in the global manufacturing race.
Fast and Easy Robot Cell Configuration and Deployment
Application Builder from Universal Robots walks users through the entire process of building a successful machine tending, assembly or packaging application with step-by-step guidance on end effectors, programming, machine interfaces and more that is optimized for throughput and cost.
Plug-and-Play End-of-Arm Vacuum Tooling for Cobots Improves Productivity
The flexible piCOBOT end-of-arm-tool from Piab is designed for maximum flexibility and reach with 3.8 in to 5.6 in wide, ±15 deg tiltable gripper arms that can be fitted with two suction cups. Alternatively, the gripper can be replaced by a single suction cup mount directly on the cobot’s pump unit.
Intuitive Cobot Automates Repetitive Tasks
The advanced TM Series Collaborative Robot from Omron boosts production and reduces employee fatigue by safely automating most repetitive production tasks, such as machine tending, loading and unloading, assembly, screw driving, gluing, testing or soldering.
Larger, Stronger and Safe Mobile Robots for Leaner Production
The powerful, robust MiR500 mobile robot from Mobile Industrial Robots autonomously picks up, transports and unloads heavy loads and can be equipped with pallet forks, conveyors, a robot arm or other options to support a wide range of applications.
