…machine AMS planned to develop was designed with a gantry-style unload, made up of cylinders and all the numerous components that come into auto unload and programming. However, since they were already using two Epson SCARAs to do the welding, their designer recommended they also use a robot to do the automatic unload, which saved considerable assembly and set-up time, not to mention the reduced cost and increased reliability of the SCARA robot over the custom gantry system. “It clicked in our minds when we were recommended that option. It was more cost-effective as the only cost associated was the…

…Robotics (ACR). The self-navigating autonomous robot is outfitted with gantry legs and bogies, a gantry system, a power generator, and a transmitter “belly box,” which allows it to communicate with its operator. A TRAM holds the core components and transports the tie module. Thanks to its dual-camera system and computer vision technology, TyBOT can self-identify rebar intersections. It moves along a track system and can accurately position itself to tie rebar without any pre-programing required. The robot’s potential applications are vast. ACR said that TyBOT is designed to work on bridge decks, elevated superstructures, marine piers, warehouses, data centers, and…

…the assembly and installation of long-travel motion systems including gantry and linear robots. The company said its new design, which includes a lower static toothed belt, also strengthens ServoBelt’s ability to non-destructively withstand high-force events, such as carriage crashes. Design changes to simplify integration In earlier designs, the belt adhered to its aluminum carrier using 3M’s VHB adhesive tape. While strong, the VHB complicated the assembly and installation process, requiring integrators to accurately apply the adhesive tape on site at the actuator’s end-use location. This process also made it difficult to splice sections of ServoBelt together - which Bell-Everman said…
