…simulation applications that incoperate its technology, among them a welding simulator and an automotive body painting simulator from Lincoln Electrics and Honda. Aimed at providing industrial skills training, the simulation systems incorporate not just immersive visuals but also physical props—replicas of weld guns and spray paint guns used in real operations. The appeal for the use of ARVR training comes from the expected cost savings. Generally skill training in welding or spray painting in VR costs a lot less since it doesn't require a specialized location, vehicle components to test-paint, or cleanup operations. The use of replica equipment instead of…

…our cobots in demanding applications like heavy palletizing and welding. This collaboration with Bota Systems increases the sensitivity and precision of solutions with UR, giving our customers the tools they need to innovate and automate more effectively.” By removing the need for an adapter, Bota Systems says it reduces the overall weight of the sensor assembly. The company says this drop in weight allows users to fully utilize the robot’s payload for material handling rather than merely supporting end-of-arm tooling. Additionally, eliminating adapters reduces the risk of using inappropriate materials that could compromise sensor stiffness and affect measurement accuracy. “The…
