Automation & Controls

Spartanburg Steel Products automated one of its existing tandem lines with five large presses that were manually operated at the time. The solution was an AP&T SpeedFeeder.

Each of the OB7's joints can rotate 360 degrees in both directions. The cobot can sense collisions at every joint, a function that triggers a safe stop. The OB7 can also be stopped with an operator's hand and restarted with a tap on one of its joints. When running at collaborative speeds, guarding is not required. For high speed operations, a laser safety scanner is available.

With a wide variety of modules, ATRO gives users the power to create almost any custom robot design within the rated payloads for their application – from a simple single-axis rotary indexing table application and delta kinematics up to multi-axis articulated robots. Expansive configurations with as many as 16 robotic arms are possible.

A passion for perfection – for decades, this quote has stood for reliability and quality from Vollmer. The company has delved deeper into this concept.

Scytec Consulting Incorporated is proud to announce a partnership with CGTech and the integration of DataXchange into the Digital Twin standard VERICUT. This is an incredible offering for the manufacturing industry at large by making CGTech VERICUT infinitely more valuable by adding a robust machine monitoring solution via CGTech's new module called CNC Machine Connect in the launch of VERICUT 9.3 to enhance the quality of the simulation.

Bosch Rexroth has expanded its range of standardized self-contained actuators by adding the CytroMotion system solution. With the help of the new compact actuator, linear movements involving forces of up to 110 kN can be achieved in a range of machines and systems in smaller spaces, more efficiently and more sustainably.

Figuring out how to meet rising production demand can be deceptive. On the surface, it's a simple math problem. If you have one machine on the floor and it makes eight parts per day, and you need to produce 16 parts per day, just add another machine, right?

CNC monitoring system provides company with a "smarter" way to collect, analyze and visualize performance metrics.

The future of boring is automated.

With its BLÚ LT modular system, Marposs scales down its high-end offering for applications requiring less complexity.n

In addition to palletizing, Universal Robots expects the UR20 to be used for welding, material handling, machine loading and machine tending, as well as for innovative solutions created by its extensive partner ecosystem. n
