…option cobot demonstrated packing meat and cheese gift boxes. Lincoln Electric’s mobile welding cart featured its Power Wave R450 robotic welding platform and a FANUC CRX-10iA. Both robots demonstrated hand-guided and tablet programming. A CRX-20iA/L used iRVision 3DV to locate and pick parts of different sizes from bins and place them onto a turntable. The table rotated the parts to a FANUC R-2000iD/210FH robot equipped with a Servo Gun that simulated spot welding the parts together. A CRX-5iA cobot assembled small gears using integrated force control. Put wall, picking, and palletizing demonstrations FANUC’s Power Motion i Model A Plus (PMi-AP)…

…(5-kg model) Cooper Cobot Welding Package ABB Robotics and Lincoln Electric have co-developed a robotic Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) Package featuring an ABB GoFa 5-kg (11-lb.) collaborative robot and Lincoln welding equipment. Known as the “Cooper Cobot Welding Package,” the robotic welding cell includes proprietary software to make it easy to program and set welding parameters. The software features built-in welding libraries, so all a user needs to do is enter the material type and thickness, and then move the robot to the beginning and end of the weld. All the welding parameters and the travel speed of the…

…Thru Arc Seam Tracking (TAST). The CRX will use Lincoln Electric’s Power Wave R450 robotic power source, and the new Lincoln Electric Smart Torch. Built for the industrial space, the CRX-10iA welding cobot is compatible with Lincoln Electric’s weld programs to help customers maximize productivity. A new CRX-25iA robot, offering a 25kg (55 lb.) payload and 1,889mm (74 in.) reach will demonstrate case palletizing. A CRX-20iA/L with FANUC QSSR (Quick & Simple Start-up of Robotization) will demonstrate the easy connection of a FANUC CRX cobot and a machine tool. QSSR simplifies the automation of machine tool load/unload applications using the…

…explains Mark Douglass, business development manager, additive solutions for Lincoln Electric’s Additive Division, which offers large-scale 3D printing services, including wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) techniques. “COVID-19 exposed why it’s beneficial to have more in-house manufacturing than buying parts.” — Frank Marangell, chief business officer and U.S. president for BigRep “The technology had to mature to the point where people can rely on it to produce quality parts, whether that’s Fused Deposition Modeling [FDM] machines, powder-bed machines or now large-format metal additive,” he says. Large-scale AM technologies have been around for some time, but they were traditionally extremely expensive and highly…

…welding simulator and an automotive body painting simulator from Lincoln Electrics and Honda. Aimed at providing industrial skills training, the simulation systems incorporate not just immersive visuals but also physical props—replicas of weld guns and spray paint guns used in real operations. The appeal for the use of ARVR training comes from the expected cost savings. Generally skill training in welding or spray painting in VR costs a lot less since it doesn't require a specialized location, vehicle components to test-paint, or cleanup operations. The use of replica equipment instead of the unnatural game controllers goes along way to help…

…the welding and vehicle spray painting applications deployed by Lincoln Electrics and Honda, among others. In Flaim Systems' firefighting applications as well as Sixense's training apps, the use of replica equipment plays an important role. In Flaim Trainer, users use a haptic-enabled water nozzle that can simulate water pressure. In Sixense's spray simulation application, users use an industry-standard paint gun. The incorporation of eye tracking, hand tracking, and replica equipment that help build muscle memory brings AR-VR-powered training to a new level, setting it apart from entertainment applications that focus primarily on immersive visuals. Analyst firm Greenlight Insights released a…

…of the project. The research team selected a 2015 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid as the vehicle platform, and used Maplesoft’s Maple and MapleSim to support their research. They outfitted the car with the sensors and actuators required for implementation as an autonomous vehicle. “The Lincoln MKZ is the vehicle preferred by AutonomouStuff, the company that converted the MKZ to a drive-by-wire vehicle,” McPhee says. “We could then add our own sensors—Lidar, cameras, etc.—and control systems to convert the vehicle to be fully autonomous.” The vehicle is controlled by actuating the accelerator pedal, brake pedal and steering wheel to track a reference…
