…Robotics to exhibit with partners Application partners Applied Automation, ATI industrial Automation, and FerRobotics sought out Kane Robotics to exhibit GRIT cobots in each of their booths at Automate 2023 because GRIT operationalizes their products and services in realistic scenarios, said the company. In the Applied Automation booth, Kane will showcase its GRIT XL, a system designed for polishing large objects such as aerospace parts. This is the first time Kane has exhibited with Applied Automation, but Applied’s six distributors offer the Universal Robots robot arm that is used in Kane’s GRIT solution in 41 of the 50 states. “Customers…

…over a potential competitor.” Employees at Aircraft Tooling Inc. (ATI), a Dallas-based repair center for the aviation industry also attending the event, said they were surprised to find that a collaborative robot could withstand a harsh environment while performing plasma spray processes. The system has freed them from that task. While the the cobot eventually “won their hearts,” employees were initially uncertain as to whether the robot would operate reliably in the spray booth’s extremely hot and dusty environment, said Juan Puente, thermal spray supervisor at ATI. “We were very surprised,” he said. “I thought the robot wouldn’t stand it.”…

…GRIT ST-X system for sanding, grinding, and finishing, using ATI’s UR+ certified Compliant Reciprocating Tool. Universal Robots to show off UR20 at FABTECH For the first time at a fabrication show in North America, attendees will be able to see the UR20 cobot, which has 20 kg (44 lb.) payload. Universal Robots said it can reach further into machines, tend several machines in the same cycle, and handle 25% heavier parts than other UR cobot models. Despite being the company’s most powerful robot arm, the UR20 is the lightest cobot in its class, weighing only 64 kg (141.1 lb.). “We…

…Inspections Lead: Siemens Partners: GelSight Inc., Carnegie Mellon University, ATI Specialty Alloys and Components, Boeing Description: This project will develop a robotic vision and visual tactile inspection system that automates high-resolution surface defect inspections of spacecraft components and commercial airplane fuselages. These technological improvements could improve the quality of aerospace inspections as well as replace manual operations, said the ARM Institute. The inspection system could also improve the reliability, maintainability, and readiness of aviation assets and ultimately to reduce the lifecycle costs of the fleet. AI and robotics would allow the system to standardize and learn inspection processes for many…

…an inverted UR5e robot performing metal parts deburring using ATI tools and its own proprietary, recycled CO2 surface-cleaning technology. The new Operator Interface from Robot27 allows operators to easily access and run pre-programmed functions without touching the UR teach pendant. Machine operators can execute these tasks with just a few clicks and with no possibility of altering any programming. “Attendees visiting our Automate booth will quickly realize how our ecosystem continues to innovate on our platform,” stated Joe Campbell, senior manager of applications development at Universal Robots. “We’re constantly collaborating with partners on addressing new automation frontiers, with Automate being…
