The Latest Updates in Technology
For more than a decade, we at Fabricating & Metalworking Online have carried stories on the latest machines and equipment to hit the market. Take a look at our latest updates, go back in our archives to see what we’ve written about in the past.
Filter by Process Zone:
Integrated Robotic Automation of Machine Tools and Assembly
For machine shops that need multi-spindle, high precision machining centers, SW North America can also integrate automated robot cells, assembly systems and turnkey production systems for increased productivity.
Robotic Inspection of Weld Defects
Easily interfaced to any robot system or welding machine, the i-FACT intelligent robotic inspection system from Servo-Robot automatically digitizes joint and bead surfaces to provide geometric data and detect weld defects.
Tool Room Cobot
The Cora cobot from Zoller improves tool room economics by automatically picking, assembling, adjusting, clamping, measuring, cleaning, marking and labeling tools in full support of all standard tasks for tool preparation.
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.
Change End-Of-Arm Tooling on Cobots in Seconds
With the lightweight Quick Changer from OnRobot, any operator can change the end-of-arm tooling on collaborative robots in a few seconds with just a click.
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.
Automation Apps Increase Reliability in Smart Factory Production
Individually configurable software application packages from Liebherr can increase the control and reliability of robotic production in an Industry 4.0 operating environment.
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.
Robot Automation of High-Mix/Low Volume Part Production
To automate the high-mix/low volume operations needed by job shops to compete effectively, Hurco uses fully automated robot systems coordinated by a centralized job management system to connect CNC machining centers with collaborative robots, multi-axis serial robots and pallet systems.
Cost Effective Robots for Part Inspection, Pick and Place
The KMXL Cartesian multi-axis robot from Hiwin is quickly and easily configured for high accuracy and repeatability in specific pick and place or part inspection applications.
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.
