…directly into the actuator’s aluminum carrier. The rack offers precision tooth forms identical to the static belt it replaces and is molded from an equally rugged polyurethane - with a 50 Shore D hardness and minimum 4,500 psi tensile strength. The design now allows integrators to splice ServoBelt sections just as they would with a traditional rack-and-pinion, using a simple tool similar to a tooth rack. Bell-Everman said it also offers significantly more resistance to tear-out forces than the earlier design. The latest generation of ServoBelt includes the new molded belt trays, along with QR codes to take personnel directly…

…the AMRs can dock robot arm units with a precision of seven millimeters, or about a quarter of an inch. Once a Reacher is docked, it needs to recalibrate based on its new position. “When it comes to the more finite machine tending, or needing to pick things up that are smaller, more accuracy is needed,” he said. “Putting a camera at the end of our tool will realign the robot arm no matter how far off it was, and we'll gain that performance back.” Automated flexibility thanks to interchangeable EOAT Interchangeable end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) has provided Rethink’s new robot…

…dirt across the construction site. The dozer will perform precision grading. The company plans to bring their vision of a fully remote and autonomous jobsite to fruition. MS Park Construction is using Teleo’s technology to improve the safety and efficiency of its operations. This includes reducing idle machine time and truck bunching, which is when faster trucks are slowed by the presence of slower trucks, and results in production losses and increasing fuel consumptions and idle time. Additionally, the company is working closely with Teleo and Dobbs Positioning Solutions, a division of Dobbs Equipment, which is also facilitating the deployment…
