Six Axis Robots Benefit Plastic Molders
Six axis robots provide all the advantages of the simple Cartesian systems (high speed, slim forearm and simple programming) but have none of the limiting features that restrict the incorporation of additional tasks. The 6 degrees of freedom in movement provides an extremely large work envelope within a small footprint.
Top 10 Questions to Consider Before Buying an Industrial Robot
The following document poses some of the questions that a robotic user should consider prior to selecting a robot and a robot programmer/installer.
Case Study: Alignment Device With On-center And Off-center Locking
The KA device's ability to lock to center and also off center is critical to this application. That ability, coupled with the devices reliability and repeatability, makes for a great solution in this application.
Interview with Mitch Rosenberg, Rethink Robotics
This year, Rethink Robotics will offer a Software Development Kit that enables customers and third parties to develop unique task applications. As a result, Baxter will be more than just a robot, it will be a platform for third-party capability development-much like mobile phones and PCs are today.
Multi-application Robot Arm Is 'Child's Play' To Program
"Teaching the robot is childs play, both Julian and I taught ourselves within a day," Steve Blease continued. "The teach mode is ideal for establishing the basic approach and then its just a question of fine-tuning for final positioning."
Food Processing Without The Human Touch
Robotic sensory technology is now able to act in the same manner that a person does, adapting to the food manufacturing environment and utilizing vast amounts of information to give us some of the safest food in the world.
Danish Robot Reduces Cost, Optimizes Production At Precision Engineering Company
Rising wages and the intricate management of the labour force have created a challenging work environment for a Singapore-based company, Sky Engineering. For a long time, this precision engineering company tried to reduce their production costs. They finally succeeded with the implementation of Universal Robots in one of their CNC machines. The UR robot was easy to integrate and the company now has the luxury of having one man tending to two CNC machines at any one time - something previously impossible to achieve when all tasks relied heavily on manual labour.
Case Study: Marathon Special Products; Plastic Deflashing Automation System
The system keeps up with their presses, provides a consistent finish, and alleviates their operators even from having to select the right part program.
New Robot Lends Precision And Reliability To The Production Of Hearing Aids
Hearing device manufacturer Oticon needed a more flexible robot to handle the tiny hearing device components in its production. The company found the ideal solution in the six-axis robot from Danish company Universal Robots.
Aerospace Automation
Even though robots are known as repeatable and not precise, many tools can be used to obtain robust and precise results such as force feedback components, vision systems, laser sensors, probing, active compliance, adaptive machining, closed-loop machining, Leica calibration, etc.
Case Study: Robot for tool production company with 10 employees
The acquisition cost for the entire system including imaging will have paid itself off in only 10 months with single shifts. If the robot is used for 2 shifts, it will actually have paid itself off in only seven months.
Case Study: Kawasaki Robotics Upgrade Project Proves Successful
The Kawasaki Robotics project on the existing robotics paint system consisted of upgrading two Kawasaki robots and replacing four Kobelco robots with new Kawasaki robots.
Measurable Energy Savings in Die Casting Automation
Experience shows that it is not the robots that are the biggest energy consumers, but the entire peripheral equipment.
Curvilinear Motion Guides and Actuated Rotary Systems
Designing curvilinear guide or actuator systems can be more difficult than designing linear ones. However, installing such systems can improve payload transportation and handling simplicity and efficiency.
Mining with Autonomous Vehicles
Mining practices have remained largely unchanged over the past 30 years. Accessible deposits are becoming harder to find with valuable deposits increasingly found only in remote areas of the world or in locations down hundreds of feet. These are expensive and dangerous to reach. Mining companies are going to have to deal with that and the best way is to automate the systems so that the human becomes the supervisor, rather than the direct worker.
