…The consistent, strong performance of navigation technology and site-specific programming enable robots to adapt to surroundings and real-time conditions, while strictly following safety protocols. This capability helps reduce the risk of accidents, collisions, or other safety incidents, including when compared to lift trucks with human operators. Yale robotic lift trucks are compliant with ANSI/ITSDF B56.5, always default to stop, and sense ground-level obstacles as well as suspended items, such as a ladder on the back of a burden carrier. How can relieving retention problems increase operational productivity? Smart: Robotics can help curb employee turnover and maximize workforce productivity by automating…

…solution partner, Cobot Lift said it can perform custom programming reliably and quickly. The company has also integrated the SMARTSHIFT mechanical quick-change system from Norway-based SMARTSHIFT Robotics. The system makes it very easy to change the lifting unit's tools for maximum flexibility and variability with the simplest handling, it added. euroTECH claimed that its vacuum technology complements Cobot Lift's systems. The Rosenfeld, Germany-based company said in a press release that the cobot's improved lifting capacity, in addition to its small footprint and mobile design, allow it to work wherever it is needed. Users can easily program Cobot Lift's enhanced system…

…M8 Series includes flexible connectivity via Ethernet and easy programming through its Direct Robot Control (DRC) feature. It enables machine tending to benefit customers that may not have experienced robot programmers available, said the company. In addition to DRC, almost any CNC machine can be connected to a shop floor via discrete I/O for non-M8 CNC controls from Mitsubishi Electric and other companies. It said further support is available from Mitsubishi Electric trained engineers to service both the robots and CNC machines. Mitsubishi Electric Automation also offers a five-year robot maintenance and warranty program. About Mitsubishi Electric Automation Vernon Hills,…

…in combination with robot software, to test the robot’s programming in a virtual environment before building out the physical machine reduces risks of having quality issues to fix afterwards. While this can vastly accelerate the development timeline, it can also drastically cut costs for building and testing robots and AI models while ensuring safety. In addition, robot simulation can help connect robots with business systems, such as inventory databases, so a robot knows where an item is located. Simulation of cobots, or robots working with humans, promises to reduce injuries and make jobs easier, enabling more efficient delivery of all…

…schematic to enlarge. Source: F. Javier Diez, Rutgers University Programming for the water-to-air transition After sharing insights into the design, Diez then explained that the programming of the flight controls was the next hurdle to overcome. “The next challenge is the transition,” he said. “So we worked very hard from the very beginning on that transition from water. We actually have a patent on this, and it’s really the heart of our technology.” “I call it dual-plane propulsion. You have two propellers on the top and two propellers on the bottom,” continued Diez. “So when you’re on the surface, the…

…instructions or intuitive user interfaces instead of requiring complex programming skills to control robots. On the one hand, this reduces the time needed to set up and customize robots and allows employees to focus on other essential tasks. On the other hand, the intuitive interface makes advanced robotics technology accessible to people without prior knowledge or training, which expands the range of people operating robots in the warehouse. “PickGPT enables straightforward communication between humans and robots via voice commands and intuitive interfaces. This simplifies the link with other warehouse systems and enables employees to instruct the robot in a simple…

…Technology and Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence using ESPRIT additive toolpath programming, an industrial robot was programmed using RoboDK’s simulation software. ESPRIT and RoboDK, a powerful combination of toolpath programming and robot digital twin with post-processing and analysis capabilities, were used to create the final part. The system included a 6-axis KUKA robot arm mounted on a rail (linear axis), a tilting table for rotary operation, and a spindle. Additionally, a GTV cladding head (powder+laser) enabled additive functions resulting in an overall cycle time of 5 minutes when reloading Steel 4140 parts. This project examined the numerical chain within FORCE Technology‘s setup…
