Universal Robots Selected as “Golden Arm” in AIPW
A UR5 cobot arm has been chosen by ARC Specialties for use in a new Artificial Intelligence Pipe Welding System (AIPW) that can handle challenging welds.
Robotic Welding Peripheral and Accessory Maintenance
Preventive maintenance on peripherals such as reamers with anti-spatter sprayers and wire cutters is part of the routine care of a weld cell. The time and cost to maintain them properly is small compared to the improvements they provide to the bottom line through higher weld quality, minimal rework and improved productivity.
OTC Daihen Reaches Two Milestones
Their U.S. subsidiary celebrates 40 years in business while the parent company celebrates 100 years.
Manufacturing vs. Fabrication: How to Make the Distinction
Is your operation highly repeatable or do you require more equipment and personnel flexibility for a wider range of work? Knowing the difference is important in selecting the right equipment and process optimization needed to maximize productivity, save time and money.
The Jig is Up: Flexible Part Positioning
Whether welding or handling, the flexibility of a six-axis robot arm is tough to beat. A single workcell with multiple robots can complete several processes with great reliability for the consistency needed to maintain 24/7 operations in an industrial climate that lacks skilled workers.
Omron Launches New Website
The new tools on this fully responsive site improve ease of use for customers, distributors and system integrators.
ModuleWorks Partners with Energid Technologies
This deal combines adaptive kinematics and collision-avoidance capabilities with CAD/CAM software for developing 6-axis robotic systems.
Coldwater Machine Adds Regional Account Manager
Larry Sutton sells powertrain and automotive body structure sub-assembly capabilities to Tier accounts in Michigan and Canada.
Next Steps in Remote Controlled Forge Welding
The WMC SafetyRobot system from Weld Mold performs remote telerobotic flood welding in a temperature-controlled environment, protecting operators from heat, smoke, fumes, radiation and many related health issues.
Keeping an Eye on Every Weld Seam
Automated data collection software from Fronius records welding data for customized process documentation and analysis that increases welding productivity, process feedback and transparency, and product safety.
Welding Tractors for Horizontal and Vertical Welding
With a variety of cross support and clamping options for user-specific product customization based on the application, ABI-CAR Welding Tractors from ABICOR BINZEL are durable, easy-to-use and have a strong magnet base that lets the tractor be used for horizontal and vertical welding positions.
A Quick, Cost-Effective Entry Point into Automated Welding
To help nearly any shop adopt new robotic welding capabilities quickly and inexpensively, FastARC Standard Weld Cells from Acieta address manufacturing labor and capacity issues to achieve a return on investment in less than two years.
