Like all manufacturers, fabricators know that they must change when the marketplace requires it. Some of them even welcome the chance to do different things, or at least do them differently.
The iconic Fiat 500 is a legendary automobile. In Italy, the cinquecento is considered to be the "people’s car." Since 1957, more than 6 million units have been mass-produced. The subcompact vehicle is even part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
For decades, automakers have primarily used robots for welding and painting. Final assembly lines were considered too complex and too unsafe for automation. However, that is changing.
Valves are a key component of heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment. For example, in systems that use water as a medium for heating and cooling, balancing valves regulate the flow of hot or cold water to the various terminals in the system. In air-conditioning and refrigeration systems, expansion valves control the flow of refrigerant between the compressor, condenser and evaporator.
This white paper from Universal Robots takes an in-depth look at machine tending operations within today's factories, and how collaborative robots help machine shops free up valuable personnel, increase capacity while improving quality, and breathe new life into idle equipment.
Competitive pressures and dynamic market demands have made the automotive industry the most automated in the world. But today, it's about more than just fast, repetitive, high-volume production. Collaborative robots are a fast-growing trend with automotive OEMs and Tier suppliers due to their easy setup, quick integration and safe operation.
This white paper takes an in-depth look at machine tending operations within today’s factories, and how cobots help machine shops free up valuable personnel, increase capacity while improving quality, and breathe new life into idle equipment.
Robots used to be thought of strictly as stationary machines. They were bolted to a floor, table, ceiling or wall and that's where they stayed. Now, thanks to collaborative robots, that's changing.
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.
