…Nachi robots and additional form factors such as a SCARA robot arm. Not only does Forge/OS 5 support robot arms, said READY Robotics, but it also supports peripherals such as cameras, grippers, and end-of-arm and process-specific tooling through a wide variety of fieldbus standards and custom communication protocols. OEMs can easily integrate their hardware with any robot powered by Forge/OS 5, added READY Robotics. “This is how we go from hundreds of thousands of robots sold to millions,” Gibbs said. “We're so excited to see what applications you'll build with Forge/OS 5.” He ended the demo by showing three different…

…interested in whether it’s a six-axis robot or a SCARA robot. As the market matures, we will see buyers and sellers finding more common ground here. Klausen: Some of the things we also see in the market is the need to define the adequate automation degree for your automation project. This can be difficult to do without help from experts. Having unrealistic expectations can lead to a project scope that isn't compatible with currently available technology. This can make it difficult to get solution proposals from vendors - or you may end up buying a solution that is too expensive…

…vision systems from partners, as well as Delta and SCARA robots from other providers, Brockmeyer added. “We guarantee that everything will be low-cost and that everything fits together,” he said. “We recognized that people were looking for applications, not robots. Last year, we already had more than 200 application examples.” “We're adding products and bundles all the time. For example, we have a linear robot educational bundle and a laboratory pipetting bundle,” said Brockmeyer. “Our configurator also gives the price and estimated time to delivery.” In addition, the RBTXpert team provides free consulting, and customers can test ideas in the…

…our plastics expertise: articulated arm robots, linear robots, and SCARA and delta robots.” The barrier to entry is not only becoming less costly but is also becoming easier to navigate. This year, igus started a service in which companies can work with a company expert to build their own robot with lightweight, maintenance-free components. The centerpiece of most solutions from igus is a ReBel collaborative robot arm that is embedded with an electronics link for monitoring. The company also started building its own low-cost automation products. It builds robots for industrial and private applications as a cobot or a service…

…Interactive mixed processing Enabling fast assembly, the four-axis SG650 SCARA robot and the six-axis GP7 robot will produce a unique souvenir for all Yaskawa booth visitors. Designed for assembly, sortation, and other processes that require pick-and-place capability, each robot can be integrated with robust vision functionality, such as MotoSight 2D. The SG650 offers a 650 mm (25.5 in.) radial reach, 210 mm (8.2 in.) long U-axis stroke and a 6 kg (13.2 lb.) payload capacity. It is also controlled by the compact YRC1000micro controller, which has a small footprint—425 W x 125 H x 280 D mm (16.7 x 4.9…

…in and around a truck cab. The FANUC’s SR-12iA SCARA robot will pack and unpack four-packs of two-liter pop bottles. The demonstration shows the SR-12iA’s ability to handle heavy products in a wide operating area at high speeds, the company said. Factory automation demonstrations at Automate The company will have a Linear Motor demo arranged in an X/Y table application. FANUC said its new LiS-B series linear motors have set new standards for acceleration, precision and speed, delivering high gain and rigidity with excellent path accuracy. Unlike conventional drives, these motors work without any force transmission mechanisms, making machine design…

…to walk. Toshiba Machine Co. has rolled out collaborative SCARA and Chihira humanoid robots to complement its selection of industrial robots. These models were intended to be deployed alongside human workers, enabling manufacturers to take advantage of a mix of automated and manual procedures. SoftBank's humanoid robots Pepper and NAO attracted and served consumers in commercial facilities with voice communication technology. Many educational institutions also embraced them as teaching tools. SoftBank sold those service robots to United Robotics Group last year. Servi and Keenbot are delivery and transportation robots that assist the food and beverage industry by cutting labor costs…
