…Equipped with the precision of a UR10e cobot and FerRobotics’ ACF-K end-of-arm grinding tool, the new GRIT system from UR partner Kane Robotics is intended to free workers from this tedious task. GRIT can grind welds at twice the speed of human technicians while improving material removal productivity by as much as 50% to 80%, asserted Kane Robotics. Kane Robotics said its GRIT system can automate tedious manual grinding and finishing.

…Pro Spot, respectively (see video below). Kane Robotics and FerRobotics used a UR cobot to demonstrate grinding and surface finishing (see photo, top right). Affordability and ease of use were important, as igus demonstrated with its low-cost automation line at Automate. The motion plastics supplier openly listed the prices for all its robots, components, and preassembled workcells. Combinations of different robots were also noteworthy. FANUC showed an order-fulfillment workcell designed by applications engineer Stacy Harimoto that combined the company's robot arms with 3D vision, scanners, and Locus mobile robots. Another theme was the ongoing convergence between industrial robot arms and…

…tasks to relieve employees for other tasks. Aerobotix and FerRobotics GmbH yesterday said they have jointly created an automated sander to reduce human involvement in hazardous tasks in response to industry demand. The companies claimed that they designed the first Class II, Division 1 (C2D1) end-of-arm tool (EOAT) sander. It is based on FerRobotics' Active Orbital Kit (AOK) with patented Active Compliant Technology and can improve efficiency and safety, they said. Aerobotix works to make aerospace jobs safer Each year, tens of millions of workers globally are afflicted with silicosis, an incurable lung disease caused by crystalline silica dust inhalation,…
