…tending, explained Richard Vaughn, a senior automation engineer at Bosch Rexroth Corp. and a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). “Programming their movements in 3D is complex, so software typically maps the motion to a set of world coordinates, in which the origin sits on the pedestal’s first joint axis,” he said. Five- and six-axis: The sweet spot? Four-, five-, and six-axis robots offer a higher degree of freedom. Most industrial robots today are either five- or six-axis. They can move along all three axes and turn along two or three axes as well. Six-axis robots are…

…its lead from 2017 through 2022. Key players include Bosch, GE, Hitachi, Honeywell and Rockwell Automation. Increasing Product Availability The underlying architecture of a preventive maintenance model is fairly uniform. The analytics usually reside on a host of IT platforms, but these layers are systematically described as: data acquisition; data transformation—conversion of raw data for machine learning models; condition monitoring—alerts based on asset operating limits; asset health evaluation—generating diagnostic records based on trend analysis if asset health has already started declining; prognostics—generating predictions of failure through machine learning models, and estimating remaining life; decision support—recommendations of best actions; and human…

…Michelin established North American headquarters here in 1974, and Bosch and logistics companies came shortly after. Also, as the steel belt swung to north-south after NAFTA, the Southeast became home to numerous OEMs such as BMW.” “It's the eighth-largest economic mega-region in the world, with a huge logistics infrastructure including ports, rail, and trucking,” she added. “We're the largest exporter of vehicles and tires in the U.S., and the manufacturing climate is business-friendly. That's why Boeing came.” “As a small state of 5 million people, you can pick up the phone and get something done,” Hayes claimed. “BMW wanted an…

…storage systems. Interroll counts leading brands such as Amazon, Bosch, Coca-Cola, DHL, Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, Siemens, Walmart, and Zalando are among its users. It had a global network of 35 companies with sales of CHF 664.4 million ($720.75 million U.S.) and 2,500 employees as of 2022. Interroll's two-floor facility in Ticino, Switzerland, specialized in techno-polymer injection-molded parts, presented a logistical challenge. Materials handling between production and the logistics area required manual labor because existing systems couldn't provide the necessary flexibility for multi-floor operations in a dynamic environment with people and other equipment moving around. Interroll wanted to increase productivity…

New Outlet for Research ADAPT is just one of several industry initiatives or consortia focused on 3D printing. America Makes, the 3MF Consortium, and EWI’s Additive Manufacturing Consortium, among others, have similar aims. What makes ADAPT different, according to Quinlan, will be the ability to leverage MIT’s research facilities and educational resources. According to Quinlan, initial efforts of ADAPT will include providing seed funding for new research projects at MIT and establishing a…

The Delta patent ended in 2007, when it became a standard in robotics. Demaurex retired in 2013 but continues to consult. “Being recognized with an Engelberger Award for my pioneering role in the Delta robot concept is definitely a highlight of my career,” Demaurex said. “We recognized early on that the Delta robot that Reymond and his team had created was the solution to problems companies in the packaging industry had long encountered when considering automation. By bringing…

…One more differentiator is the integration of a state-of-the-art Bosch computer-numerically controlled motion-control system, designed to deliver maximum responsiveness and accuracy along with closed-loop controls. Untethered from the volume constraints of a traditional build plate, large-scale AM gives engineers the freedom to orient parts in a way that makes the most sense, whether it’s to deliver specific strength properties, to ensure finer details are captured or simply for economies of scale to output multiple parts in a single build. “Volume production is perfect for large-format AM, large part production is perfect for large-format AM, and the flexibility to put the…
