Kawasaki Robotics earlier this month introduced a new series of robot arms as part of a collaboration with NEURA Robotics. The CL Series is made up of four new robot arms offering payloads and reaches of 3kg/590mm (6.6 lb./23 in.), 5kg/800mm (11 lb./ 31 in.), 8kg/1300mm (17 lb./51. in.) and 10kg/1000mm (22 lb./39.3 in.), respectively. This is Kawasaki's first true cobot arm line, but it has been offering collaborative dual-arm SCARA robots through its duAro line for quite some time. The Tokyo-based company will show the public the cobots for the first time at Automatica in Munich, Germany, which runs…

…can be installed at any angle, the company said. Kawasaki Robotics shows automated bin picking At IME West, Kawasaki Robotics displayed two robots. The MC004V, guided by Apera AI’s Vue robotic vision software, demonstrated a random bin-picking application of clear test tubes. Kawasaki said this capability could be useful for pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing, as well as consumer packaged goods (CPG), injection molding, and plastics. The robot arm meets the healthcare industry’s strict guidelines for accuracy, consistency, and cleanliness, according to Kawasaki. It also has a special surface treatment and uses a unique sealing material to cope with vaporized…

…its software with Siemens Process Simulate and worked with Kawasaki Robotics. BMW needs to scan multiple vehicle models Realtime Robotics said its technology can improve how robots are programmed. For example, BMW Group needed to improve the process around the 3D computer tomography (CT) scanning of automobiles, which is done to assure the quality of assorted joinings, it noted. The automaker's work cell was designed to use robots to X-ray vehicles and identify any defects, but it was a time-consuming process to complete for even a single vehicle, said the company. BMW had to program its robots with the exact…

…10 virtual manipulators, including popular models from Clearpath and Kawasaki, said Andrews. “As robots get more complex, they need to be constandly rechecked and validated in configuration,” he added. “We're working with leading-edge innovators to figure out new use cases.” NVIDIA cited several examples of companies across industries using Isaac Sim. For instance, Deutsche Bahn is training AI models to handle “corner cases” that happen rarely in reality but are still important, such as luggage falling on a train track. Amazon Robotics is using Isaac Sim to train soft robot grippers and Omniverse for warehouse digital twins, while ETH Zurich…

…Greg Tormanen, automotive body in white engineering manager at Kawasaki Robotics Inc. “The robots were interacting with each other and were not crashing.” “It has taken operators years of practice to become skilled enough to make robot motion and planning both efficient and effective,” he added. “Realtime’s technology decreases the amount of time it takes to perform the task, enabling those with less experience to realize the same results. This level of interaction is simply impossible with human programming.” Realtime Robotics to invest in scaling up Soundproof Ventures, Heroic Ventures, and SIP Global Partners were the lead investors in Realtime…

…Robotics today announced that it has teamed up with Kawasaki Robotics Inc. to automate the programming, deployment, and control of industrial automation. Wixom, Mich.-based Kawasaki and Boston-based Realtime Robotics have collaborated to build a demonstration cell. It will be in Kawasaki’s Booth 2332 at Automate 2022, taking place at the Huntington Place Convention Center here from June 6 to 9. The spot-welding cell displays the combined power of Kawasaki Robotics' KRNX open programming platform and Realtime Robotics’ motion-planning and collision-avoidance software, integrated with two Kawasaki BX100N robots. KRNX is an application programming interface (API) plugin that enables real-time control (RTC)…
