Two of the most critical success factors in the manufacturing industry are time to deployment and cycle time. Despite this, the design and deployment of robotic workcells has long remained a surprisingly manual and time-consuming process. Realtime Robotics is aiming to change that with Resolver, a cloud-based optimization engine that introduces industrial-scale automation into the earliest stages of robotic system planning. At its core, Resolver […] Read More

The purpose of a robotic gripper is to effectively manipulate and grasp objects. First of all, the system for gripping must be chosen. Such as two or more finger grippers, parallel jaw grippers, suction grippers and other types. Some grippers are designed for only specific types of objects, which makes the design easier. Let’s list some key factors to consider: Gripping force. This should be […] Read More

Co-bot stands for “collaborative robots”. These robots are designed to work alongside humans, by performing repetitive or heavy tasks, which would greatly ease the burden on the human worker while he or she can focus on tasks that require higher skills. A critical item for making this possible is to implement certain safety mechanisms on these robots, in order to prevent harm to humans. This […] Read More

New software unleashes force sensing on UR e-Series Quebec City, Canada, September 5—Robotiq is launching Force Copilot, an intuitive software to operate Universal Robots e-Series’ embedded force torque sensor. Force Copilot accelerates the programming of a whole host of applications, including part insertion and surface finding, among many others.   Force Copilot’s sensing functions increase flexibility and reliability in machine-tending, assembly, finishing, and pick-and-place applications.

Technology overview Collaborative robots (also known as co-bots; an emerging automation technology) are designed to work alongside humans with precision, strength, and speed for achieving high efficiency in production. Collaborative robots differ from industrial robots in several ways, such as the absence of “safety fence” while working alongside humans, simplified programming and reduced setup time, integration of auto-speed reduction and distance monitoring or proximity sensors, […] Read More

OptoForce Sensors Providing Industrial Robots with a “Sense of Touch” to Advance Manufacturing Automation   Global efforts to expand the capabilities of industrial robots are on the rise, as the demand from manufacturing companies to strengthen their operations and improve performance grows. Hungary-based OptoForce, with a North American office in Charlotte, North Carolina, is one company that continues to support organizations with new robotic capabilities, […] Read More
