…them smaller.” Feedback devices have also improved in size, precision, and quality. “With higher-resolution encoders, we not only see better accuracies, but tuning can also be improved to help with accuracy and cycle time when applied to the applications,” said Dieck. “This opens the door for higher-precision robotics applications, and it improves repeatability and the throughput of the robot and automation.” Furthermore, smaller motors with better torque-to-weight ratios allow motors to achieve high peak speeds for a short time, as well as faster acceleration and deceleration times. This allows robots to have a reduced mass, which in turn permits more…

…are the sweet spot for these systems, he added. RIOS has built a lot of software-defined infrastructure for sorting, precision handling, quality checking, and packaging of items. Furthermore, RIOS, not the end user, covers the risk to keep the system operating as needed, even 24/7. “This is revolutionary,” Casse said. “This approach to robotic palletizing is a real inflection point for packaging automation going forward.” Only time will tell, but there do appear to be several new angles on the established capex model that make this worth considering.

…THeMIS a 'force multiplier' THeMIS Combat UGVs can provide high-precision, direct-fire support for maneuver units and act as a force multiplier, claimed Milrem Robotics. The system displayed at LAAD is equipped with the two-axis, gyro-stabilized GUARDIAN 2.0 remote weapon station from Madrid-based Escribano Mechanical & Engineering S.L. (EM&E). GUARDIAN 2.0 and the advanced sensors and fire-control system in THeMIS allow dismounted infantry units to assess and engage the enemy at maximum standoff distances, said Milrem Robotics. This can increase force protection and survivability day and night, and in adverse weather conditions, it asserted. The Multiscope Rescue was designed to provide…

…workdays,” noted Deanna Kovar, vice president of production and precision agriculture business at Deere. “Three critical challenges are finding skilled labor, getting the work done when it needs to be done, and doing it consistently to maximize crop yields.” “Missing the optimal window to plant can reduce a harvest by as much as 1% per day,” she added. “Fully autonomous tractors can provide farmers flexibility at scale. They don't get tired or sick, can run all day or night, and free the farmer from the cab to focus on other tasks.” Autonomous tractor designed for precision The autonomous tractor has…

…analyze, repair and prepare the 3D models with highest precision and according to CAD engineering standard. With conventional 3D printing software, CAD models are usually triangulated, i.e., converted to STL in the reading process, which makes it impossible to handle or repair the geometry without deviating its original shape. In comparison, 4D_Additive avoids such deviations because of its exact geometry kernel and the fact that CAD models remain in their original geometry description until the end of the process. In the final slicing step, depending on the machine type, also exact vector graphics can be generated. These exact curves can…

…a revolutionary transformation in the day-to-day efficiency, productivity, and precision of warehouse operations,” said Andrei Danescu, co-founder and CEO of Dexory, in a release. DexoryView takes data into the future “For warehouse operators, guaranteeing flawless 'on-time, every time’ order fulfilment is paramount to satisfying the expectations of today’s consumers,” said Dexory. The company said DexoryView uses autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to capture rich image and sensor data from across a warehouse. It then applies analytics to provide visibility across a facility of any size, as well as from connecting sites across the global supply chain through DexoryView. Dexory said its…

…behavior, and adjust printing over time. The goal: High precision, multi-material production-grade output. The start-up company, spun out from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) in 2017, is based on research led by Professor Wojciech Matusik and intellectual property licensed from MIT. Inkbit saw reason to create a new platform for 3D printing because while they believed there was substantial opportunity for ink jet AM capabilities, the technology was only being used for prototyping, not production applications since it wasn’t able to easily take advantage of engineering-grade materials like silicone and epoxy. “Today, material used for ink jet…

…surface, according to ABB Robotics. In addition, PixelPaint's two high-precision robots eliminate the process of masking and de-masking each car, helping to reduce bottlenecks, it said. Previously, applying a two-tone or customized design was a time- and labor-intensive process. A vehicle had to be put through the painting line twice. With PixelPaint, customized designs can be applied in one pass, and painting speeds increased by 50%, said ABB. This can help automotive manufacturers respond to individual demands, it said. “In today’s fiercely competitive automotive manufacturing market, vehicle producers need solutions that can help them to improve their flexibility, efficiency, and…
