The synergies vision guided robotics (VGR) bring to the shop floor are numerous. Learn about the types of VGR systems and the trending uses for robotic automation.
Collaborative-style robots combined with mobile robots are increasing shop capability and interacting more freely with their human coworkers.
As production goals change in a post-pandemic world, more manufacturers are using robots to deal with labor shortages and high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) orders. Easy-to-use tools for novice operators are enabling faster implementation on factory floors.
A robotic system is ‘collaborative’ only if all elements – robot, tooling, workpiece, and work area – meet international safety standards. Depending on application, you may be able to turn a standard industrial robot into a cobot and comply.
Beckhoff’s Automation Technology for Robotics (ATRO) is a compact, multi-axis system that supports rapid robot assembly and programming.
The 6-axis GP70L features a 2,732 mm horizontal reach, 4,715 mm vertical reach, a 0.05 mm repeatability, as well as a 70 kg payload.
The UR20 features an entirely new joint design that allows for even faster cycle times as well as the ability to handle heavier loads.
