…more easily programmed “for continuous processes such as arc welding or painting,” according to MassRobotics. The startup recently conducted a successful demonstration at Newport News, Va., where the U.S. Navy is facing a shortage of skilled welders in its shipyards. Welders were able to use Scalable Robotics' code-free point-and-click system to quickly instruct a robot to conduct multiple precision welds, said Tom Fuhlbrigge, founder and CEO. Two MassRobotics residents team up Black-I Robotics Inc. and Ascend Robotics joined forces to develop what they are called the “first mobile autonomous heavy-lift arm system for logistics and manufacturing applications.” The partners showed…

…robots (discussed below). Robotic arms are used for arc welding, material handling, assembly, packaging, machine tending and palletizing. They have a predesigned reach and accuracy ratings that make it easier to establish their repeatability of movement (Richard Vaughn). However, unlike Cartesian and gantry robots, you’re locked into those design features once you buy it. Robotic arms could also cost more because of expensive features like proprietary controllers. 4. SCARA SCARA stands for selective compliance assembly robot arm or selective compliance articulated robot arm. It has three axes (X, Y and Z) for rotating and lateral movements and is ideal for…
