Configuring adhesive dispensing equipment with a robot to apply the material correctly on every product can improve delivery and save production costs.

A new technology could reduce, or even eliminate, the need for destructive and nondestructive testing of robotically welded joints.

Robotics and assistive technologies enable blind workers to produce precision parts and assemblies.

When preparing parts for assembly, automakers can always use an extra hand or two. One automaker has found those hands at the end of a dual-arm robot. For the past four years, the automaker has used the dual-arm robot to shorten the cycle time to treat the front and back surfaces of a suspension component.

JR Manufacturing Inc. has a simple and effective strategy: Improve efficiency by replacing menial labor with robotic automation. Greater efficiency means in-creased competitiveness, which leads to growth. The formula has worked well thus far.
