…its software with Siemens Process Simulate and worked with Kawasaki Robotics. BMW needs to scan multiple vehicle models Realtime Robotics said its technology can improve how robots are programmed. For example, BMW Group needed to improve the process around the 3D computer tomography (CT) scanning of automobiles, which is done to assure the quality of assorted joinings, it noted. The automaker's work cell was designed to use robots to X-ray vehicles and identify any defects, but it was a time-consuming process to complete for even a single vehicle, said the company. BMW had to program its robots with the exact…

…or mixed unit loads using FANUC add-on instructions (AOIs). Kawasaki Kawasaki’s RS013N six-axis cobot has a maximum load capacity of 13 kg (28.6 lb.). A recent redesign for all of the company's R series cobots results in less overall weight, enabling faster working speed and improved range of motion – up to 1,460 mm (57.4 in.), meaning better cycle times and improve flexibility. The cobot also features covered motors and waterproof electrical connections, with different models for floor, wall, or ceiling mounting. Reduced interference zones around the robot base allow users to maximize their floor space and working area, said…
