Robotic integration provides value

Why integrating industrial robots into your facility offers value Integrating industrial robots within manufacturing facilities across all industries took root in the 1960’s at a General Motors assembly line in New Jersey. UNIMATE became the first industrial robot and performed spot welding and also extracted die castings at the GM plant. These types of robots come…Read more

Why industrial robot safety is essential

How to ensure safety during industrial robot operation The first law of robotics: a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Isaac Asimov’s three laws of robotics are a cornerstone of sci-fi literature, but the unfortunate truth of modern industrial robots is that they…Read more

Repairing Fanuc equipment, components and parts

Fanuc is the owner of the indistinguishable color among industrial robots. The company’s name is an acronym for Factory Automation and Numerical Control. The company is the largest manufacturer of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems, which are produced from Fanuc’s 22 country operation and reportedly have a 65% market share. Spanning across various industrial applications,…Read more

Which type of industrial robots led Q2 sales?

Previously, we looked at reports from the Robotic Industries Association (RIA) that showed new records set from sales statistics regarding industrial robots. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at the report from RIA again and discover which types of industrial robots are leading sales and also learn the application use for each type….Read more

What is a GMAW?

Integrating a robotic welding system within a manufacturing facility comes with a decision backed by reliable data. There must be a case made to switch to automation. A robotic welding system transforms any production line with its precise welds, repeatability, and speed. Factory workers rely on welding robots to perform a the same task and…Read more

How do PLCs work?

What is a PLC? A PLC, or a programmable logic controller, is essentially a computer. However, unlike a personal computer, PLCs are specialized and control machines, and processes using logical commands. These miniature CPUs are designed to withstand an industrial environment and to interface flexibly with inputs and outputs within a real-life application. Using a personal computer…Read more
