For products in the consumer, parts, food & beverage, and print & packaging markets, a significant portion of the manufacturing process still relies on manual tasks performed by human operators.
Bin-picking, random picking, pick and place, pick and drop, palletization, depalletization, these are all part of the same project. You want a fully automated process that grabs the desired sample from one position and moves it somewhere else.
Whether a company is producing automotive brake systems, display screens, refrigerators
or ventilators for ICUs, manufacturers need efficient throughput combined with high levels of
automated tracking and process control. The goal: assembly processes that are as close to
error-free as possible.
Wöhner GmbH & Co. KG, a manufacturer of energy distribution, control technology and renewable energy solutions, assembles up to 40,000 fuse holders in up to 94 varieties every day with the ActiveMover Transport System. Download the case study.
More and more frequently, designing, engineering and commissioning automation systems means one thing: software development. In some machines, software accounts for over 50 percent of value creation. Software determines the flexibility, connectivity, availability and ease of operation of machines and systems.
Lean integrators are leveling the playing field for SMEs in highly innovative and cost-effective ways.
June 8, 2020
This white paper discusses how developments in robotics technology has led to a rise in lean integrators, whose unique structures and focused areas of expertise are critical to delivering automation benefits through collaborative robots for small to medium enterprises (SMEs).
When the decision leads to automated transfer, consider what benefits you expect to realize by using conveyor-based transfer – for example, reduced costs, increased throughput, or a better working environment.
Automated assembly applications have consistently demanded higher precision from robots and other mechanical devices, and higher resolution from sensors to position those mechanical devices. In early 2022, the next wave of sensing technology was introduced: RF based micro-location sensors. Microlocation delivers highly precise data even in highly unstructured environments, enabling a wide range of process improvements including cycle time, quality, and human/robot efficiencies.
