Rockwell Automation’s Allen-Bradley line announces new servo drives Rockwell Automation’s Allen-Bradley line announced a new servo drive with a capability of achieving twin-axis functionality. They also completed a goal of reducing cabinet space requirements by up to 70%. The Allen Bradley Kinetix 5700 series servo drive aids machine-builders with reducing wiring requirements of up to…Read more
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
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
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
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
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
