An education program developed by Universal Robots to teach people how to program and implement collaborative robots has been accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) and is now authorized to issue continuing education units.
In December, Universal Robots sold its 50,000th cobot, which was purchased by a German manufacturer to increase productivity and improve employee safety.
Two members of Universal Robots' UR+ partner program have been nominated for Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Robotics & Automation (IERA) Awards by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).
Want to learn how operational stability can be achieved through automation? Manufacturers of all sizes are adapting their business operations to build resilience against future threats. This white paper shows how collaborative applications solve specific manufacturing challenges with affordable and easy-to-use cobots or light industrial robots.
Before cobots and other fast-deployable robots, many automated manufacturing cells incorporated only fixed or dedicated tooling rather than solutions that allow for changes or updates. An advantage of fixed automation is that it allows for reliable and high throughput, but it also tends to be custom engineered towards a specific process.
Sometimes, the best assembly is no assembly. If a feature can be formed or created in a part, rather than added to the part on the assembly line, then that's one less process step engineers have to worry about.
LEWES, UK—Hanover Displays Ltd. recently completed the installation of a second batch of cobots to improve manufacturing and quality control processes.
