…the assembly and installation of long-travel motion systems including gantry and linear robots. The company said its new design, which includes a lower static toothed belt, also strengthens ServoBelt’s ability to non-destructively withstand high-force events, such as carriage crashes. Design changes to simplify integration In earlier designs, the belt adhered to its aluminum carrier using 3M’s VHB adhesive tape. While strong, the VHB complicated the assembly and installation process, requiring integrators to accurately apply the adhesive tape on site at the actuator’s end-use location. This process also made it difficult to splice sections of ServoBelt together - which Bell-Everman said…

…it said “turns almost any CNC, robotic arm, or gantry system into a powerful hybrid manufacturing center.” Both systems use the company's patented LMD-based process to make parts of both wire and powder simultaneously with the same printhead. Meltio Space is designed to “bridge the gap between additive manufacturing users and robotics,” according to the company. The new software integrates a six-axis robot manipulator and two-axis workpiece positioners to transcend traditional three-axis systems and open new possibilities for metal 3D printing, said Meltio. The company claimed that it will increase the reliability and accuracy of additive manufacturing for metal parts.…

…Plus, modular systems can further reduce costs through a gantry design and high-density floor-based storage. In this setup, products are stored in plastic crates, stacked directly on the warehouse floor. Gantry robots can access any SKU, at any time, from overhead, eliminating the need for expensive racking or shelving systems. Myth 4: Automated systems are difficult to learn and maintain With any automation project, it’s true that warehouse managers and staff need to prepare for change. This includes learning how to operate, maintain, and supervise their automation system. The good news is that upskilling efforts don’t need to be a…
