There re quite a few repetitive tasks in manufacturing. If all of these tasks must be performed manually, then a large number of a manufacturing company’s employees would be occupied with extremely mundane and tedious activities throughout the day.
Universal Robots (UR) is launching an enhanced UR10e with an increased payload of 12.5kg (27.55lbs), creating new possibilities for applications such as palletizing, machine tending, and packaging. The robot’s price remains unchanged.
Start production faster with a new all-in-one Palletizing Solution from Robotiq. This webinar will be hosted by the Shelley Automation and Robotiq teams, and will include a live demo and Q&A session.
OnRobot has launched the MG10, a versatile, high-performance, easy to use magnetic gripper for material handling, assembly and machine tending applications in manufacturing, automotive and aerospace environments.
OTTO Motors, a provider of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for material handling, recently announced that it has launched the next generation of its market-leading heavy-class AMR.
In the logistics industry, it’s always a race to be the fastest company to get deliveries out the door while also maintaining a standard of impeccable accuracy at the lowest possibl cost.
Developed with stacking or palletizing of heavy loads in mind, Festo’s new EHMH is a muscular cantilever axis with rack and pinion technology that handles payloads up to 200 kg with great repeatability.
In the popular imagination, robots are large, dumb machines for doing dull, muscular, repetitive tasks with precision and accuracy. That’s only part of today’s robotics world. Robots now come in many sizes and configurations, with two to seven axes.
Offering exceptionally fast and powerful operation for increased production throughput, the highly reliable four-axis PL190 and PL320 models now join the PL500 robot, enabling a wide range of palletizing applications, order picking and other logistical tasks.
In 2020, Universal Robots hosted two groundbreaking virtual trade shows geared to a broad range of manufacturers and industries. This year, they are excited to launch The Cobot Expo Series ’21 – five virtual events that focus on the industries and applications most relevant for collaborative robots during these challenging manufacturing times.
It was winter 2009, and Samuel Bouchard was on a mission to sell his startup’s first product, a robotic gripper, to the automotive manufacturers of Michigan.
The key to manufacturing success is keeping equipment running. Unfortunately, it can be hard to find and retain workers for tedious and potentially dangerous jobs such as machine tending.

Robotic implementation is becoming more prevalent in the Food & Beverage industry, especially in our current climate. And when focusing specifically on primary food handling (handling of raw, unpackaged food) there is an increased concentration regarding the utilization of robotics to maintain the hygienic demands of raw food handling.
Providing a cost-effective and easy to integrate solution, Parker’s seven standard gantry system configurations are designed to satisfy the vast majority of gantry robot applications.
Festo is renowned for its bionic creatures – robotic fauna that fly, crawl, scamper or swim and point the way to possible commercial developments that mimic actions in nature. Now, Festo Didactic, the leader in basic and advanced training solutions for industry, has unveiled the Bionic Flower, a construction kit for today’s young STEM students inspired by the world of flora.
