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.
Ultrafast Automated Bending Cell
With an average cycle time of four seconds per bend, the robotic TruBend Cell 7000 from TRUMPF delivers automated bending of small parts twice as fast as conventional bending cells.
Robotic Electric Press Brake Cell
For fully automated bending of small to medium-sized parts in varying batch sizes, at bending speeds up to 1 in/sec, the Dyna-Cell robotic bending cell from LVD Strippit integrates a high-speed five-axis electric press brake with a robot for unmanned operation for up to eight hours.
Robotic Mobile Bending Cell
The automated Mobile Bending Cell from Bystronic can process large lots, or bend small lots or individual parts manually when necessary. Just plug in and start bending.
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.
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.
Easy and Intuitive Error-Free Robotic Programming
Robotmaster V7 software from Hypertherm makes the task-based programming of automatic integrated welding, contour trimming, cutting, dispensing, deburring, drilling and fastening easy and intuitive, even for first-time robot users with no expertise.
Smart Robotic Part Sorting and Arranging Made Easy
SmartWing robots from Fuji make workpiece sorting, accurate long screw placing, loose part sorting and arranging, and dual robot cooperation for inserting and tightening screws remarkably easy and efficient with accessible automation that virtually eliminates teaching.
Flexible Robotic Precision Finishing Systems
Robotic finishing systems from Fastems eliminate variations that are common in hand-finishing operations, maximize the output of consistently precise parts, and relieve employees of tedious and tiring hand finishing activities.
Doing Tasks with Robots That Were Not Possible Before
The intuitive Force Guide integrated force control system from Epson Robots enables robots to perform grinding, polishing, part insertion, screw driving and other high precision operations that require high performance motion guidance.
