…France, Spain, the U.K., Portugal, the Netherlands, Poland, and Italy. Set in a 562 sq. m (6,049.3 sq. ft.) warehouse, 29 autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) now support warehouse employees by handling sorting of 1,400 to 1,500 parcels per hour. Today, employees will put ordered goods onto sorting robots that will automatically transfer them to one of the 104 sorting cages bound for different destinations following a simple chutes layout made up of QR codes, said the companies. With no need for wires or fixed infrastructure, operations can flexibly scale if there is a sudden change in throughput demand by simply…

…Conventional machining would take too long, so the Bergamo, Italy-based company turned to 3D printing with the help of Additive Italia SRL, Desktop Metal Inc., and nTopology Inc. Preziosa Francesco realized that CNC machines would require long lead times to create new grippers for its existing robotic cell and automated press bending machine. The company worked with design engineers from Additive Italia (Add-it) to move part production in-house, and it used nTopology's software for topology optimization. “A small part was reducing the value of the robot,” said Duann Scott, vice president of business development at nTopology. “By optimizing a small,…

…shorten time to market, and reduce costs. The Turin, Italy-based unit of Stellantis NV has more than 9,000 employees, seven innovation centers, five digital hubs, and eight factories across 14 countries. Milwaukee-based Rockwell Automation has about 23,500 employees in more than 100 countries. Rockwell Automation, Comau unify controls According to the partners, engineers will have one environment for programming their machines, including Comau robot arms directly controlled through Rockwell Automation’s Logix-based controllers. Rockwell said its Studio 5000 design software can provide relief from the time-consuming and often difficult task of trying to coordinate traditionally separate machine control and robot systems…

…at NIST and at the Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste in Italy, solved the issue and demonstrated 3D gel printing in liquids by placing an ultrathin barrier—a thin sheet of silicon nitride—between the vacuum and the liquid chamber. The thin sheet protects the liquid from evaporating (as it would ordinarily do in vacuum) but allows X-rays and electrons to penetrate into the liquid. The method enabled the team to use the 3D printing approach to create gels with structures as small as 100 nanometers (nm)—about 1,000 times thinner than a human hair. By refining their method, the researchers expect to imprint structures…
