…Siemens Standard Robot Command Interface (SRCI) partners include ABB, Comau, Epson, FANUC, KAKA, Kawasaki, KUKA, Mitsubishi Electric, Stäubli, UR and Yaskawa. Source: Siemens The collaboration will enable Siemens programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that support the Standard Robot Command Interface (SRCI) functions to translate and merge control instructions through its Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal). This arrangement will enable engineers to use Siemens’ development environment to control robots without using robot programming languages. Prior to this announcement, Siemens was already working in cooperation with Comau, Stäubli, Kawasaki, and Yaskawa Motoman on integrated robot control via SRCI. Mou reported ABB, KUKA,…

…human and stop it within milliseconds, said the company. Comau and Rockwell Automation Comau and Rockwell Automation Inc. have partnered to demonstrate unified robotic controls, which are in demand to integrate robotics into industrial operations. The expansion of robotic applications is rooted in Rockwell’s broader strategy to help companies save time and improve performance with unified robot control, ultimately providing long-term value for their business. Comau and Rockwell are selling the unified product to both companies’ customers. Engineers will now be able to program their entire machine in one environment, including Comau robot arms directly controlled through Rockwell Automation’s Logix-based…

…an example. Requiring greater upfront investment in robots from Comau, the flexibility of the plant can repurpose and redirect equipment to suit amended product specifications and volumes. Tesla founder Elon Musk has made no secret of his ambitions for general-purpose robots that would be even more capable. Flexible manufacturing to pick up speed The time required to change robot programming has delayed the acceptance of flexible manufacturing. Once, automating a one-hour task could require more than 15 hours of programming. A more recent move to self-programming has simplified the process through abstraction using AI and machine learning. There is also…
