Industrial Automation

WHY IMPROVE YOUR PRODUCTION LINE WITH MACHINE-TENDING ROBOTS?

Machine tending is an essential part of the manufacturing process. It involves loading and unloading materials, parts, or products into machines such as CNC machines, lathes, and injection molding machines. This process can be time-consuming, repetitive, and potentially dangerous, which is why many manufacturers are turning to machine-tending robots to automate this task. In this blog post, we will discuss the relevance of using a machine-tending robot in the manufacturing industry.

THE FUTURE OF INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION AND THE ROLE OF ROBOTICS IN MANUFACTURING

In recent years, the manufacturing industry has undergone significant transformation, thanks to the rise of industrial automation and robotics. As businesses strive to enhance efficiency, productivity, and quality, robotic automation has become increasingly popular. This blog post delves into the future of industrial automation and the critical role that robotics will play in the manufacturing industry.

THE BENEFITS OF TURNKEY ROBOTIC SOLUTIONS FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED BUSINESSES

Within the manufacturing industry, layouts or production floors can change often. Automated equipment may need to be reinstalled, relocated, or altered to satisfy a new manufacturing environment. Industrial robots are often installed with a permanent location in mind (i.e., bolted to the ground). Hence, installing and uninstalling this equipment can often be lengthy and complicated. To add on, safety barriers and cells installed around these robots would increase the time needed. Therefore, robotic cells which have the robots installed alongside them, equipped to have wheels on them can provide many benefits to a workspace.

HOW MODULAR ROBOTICS CELLS CAN STREAMLINE MANUFACTURING PROCESSES

Modular robotics cells are transforming the manufacturing industry, allowing businesses to automate their production lines and streamline their operations. These pre-designed, modular, and mobile robotic cells can be customized to fit a variety of manufacturing needs, from small businesses to large-scale operations. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of modular robotics cells and how they can streamline manufacturing processes.

WHY YOU SHOULD INCLUDE COBOTS INTO YOUR COMPANY

A cobot is a term used to represent a collaborative robot. These robots are specifically designed to be able to work alongside humans in a production setting. They have reduced speed, unique safety features, and can work in an open system, unlike their industrial robot counterparts. They often take the shape of a human arm and hand, and are great for repetitive and dangerous tasks; which makes them an excellent addition to any workspace.

BENEFITS OF ROBOTIC CELLS ON WHEELS

Within the manufacturing industry, layouts or production floors can change often. Automated equipment may need to be reinstalled, relocated, or altered to satisfy a new manufacturing environment. Industrial robots are often installed with a permanent location in mind (i.e., bolted to the ground). Hence, installing and uninstalling this equipment can often be lengthy and complicated. To add on, safety barriers and cells installed around these robots would increase the time needed. Therefore, robotic cells which have the robots installed alongside them, equipped to have wheels on them can provide many benefits to a workspace.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MATERIALS IN INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS

Throughout history, humans have discovered and developed ways to manipulate materials in order to create and build the world around them. As technology progressed, our understanding of these materials has led to breakthroughs in production and sustainability, which has benefited society greatly. Therefore, a strong understanding of materials is essential for any manufacturing environment to operate. Whether the results are structural or product-based, each industry must comply with and meet specific requirements to deliver a safe and reliable product. Hence, the use of Strength of Materials is a key aspect of all manufacturing processes.

APPLICATIONS OF ASSEMBLY ROBOTS

Assembly robots are commonplace within any manufacturing environment. They are capable of performing mundane and repetitive tasks with ease. Due to the accuracy of a robot’s EOAT, assembly robots are also perfect for constructing products that require a delicate or precise touch. Such products could involve anything with electronics or compact components. Assembly robots are also capable of working with awkward and heavier parts which a human would find hazardous. In modern assembly lines, almost all nodes within the line are operated by robots or some sort of automated equipment. This ensures that a consistent and accurate construction process is maintained.

SECOND-HAND AUTOMATION MARKET

Automation has been an essential part of manufacturing environments over the years. Around the globe, industries have been upgrading their workspaces to incorporate robots in order to be on track with industry 4.0. This involves integrating new robotic systems or adding to pre-existing robotic assemblies. The robot equipment does not always have to be bought new. In fact, many companies are purchasing second-hand robots in order to satisfy their automation requirements.
