…good condition, and oriented neatly. Conversely, repetitive tasks requiring precision are easy for robots, but human forklift operators can find it challenging to deliver the same level of precision. Automated lift trucks can place down pallets with consistent, miniscule gaps between units, while human operators will naturally vary their placement. The big question manufacturing and warehousing operators need to ask is what workflows can be automated with today’s technology? Setting up tech for success Tom Panzarella, chief technology officer at Seegrid, said robotics customers and integrators need to mutually set each other up for success. When Seegrid proposes solutions to…

…the system, we require an extremely high level of precision and repeatability,” Mersnik said. “This is why it was an important argument for us that Faulhaber was able to deliver this motor with a matching multiturn absolute encoder. The signals from this encoder are necessary to achieve the high production quality and for quality assurance.” At least 60 million fault-free strokes guaranteed by STIWA STIWA said longevity and long-term reliability of all components makes the real difference. The company guarantees its compact automation systems fault-free for at least 60 million strokes. This number must therefore also be achieved by all…

…be operated by workers, the Canvas system uses robotic precision to spray-apply all of the joint compound onto the wall in a single step. The robotic offering reduces the time required to finish a wall from five days - in a traditional manual process - to just two days with one day for mud application and one day for sanding. After a single drying cycle, users can swap an interchangeable sanding head onto the machine to sand the wall down while the vacuum system captures 99.9% of the dust. This process gives contractors more control over their schedule while making…
