An articulated robot is the most commonly used industrial robot. It’s also likely the most recognizable. We’ve all seen pictures or movies of the robotic arms reaching out to pick up materials, weld a car body together, or to move items from one conveyor belt to another. They are used in a broad range of industries
Articulated robots have arms with rotary joints that give them the range of motion and the flexibility to be able to perform…
When designing an efficient assembly sequence, it’s common for engineering teams to break down the process into the individual tasks required to complete the job. These tasks may be manual, automated, or a combination of the two. If the job has enough steps, it may be necessary to transfer the parts to multiple workstations. That’s where specific part transfer methods come into play. Here’s a look at 14 ways to move objects between…
Manufacturing facilities often use low-force, precision press machines to create, form, or assemble products. These machines range drastically in size, depending on the application. Even so, most industrial assembly presses are comprised of a ram, frame, and platen. The ram is the moving element that applies force, and the frame provides a secure mount for the platen, which holds the workpiece in place.
If you’re in the automation industry,…
An end of arm tooling (EOAT) device is an attachment that allows a robotic arm to manipulate objects. Put simply, EOAT provides a “hand” that can accomplish many different tasks, including part picking and placing, insert loading, part confirmation, in-mold labeling, and docking. Innumerable end of arm tooling devices are available, including custom solutions designed for specific applications.
One of the most popular categories for end of…
Object detection is a critical aspect of the automation industry. While sensors don’t measure, identify, or quantify items, they are useful for detecting closing doors, arriving carrier pucks, and objects on a conveyer belt. Object detection communicates the presence, or absence, of a target to the machine’s control system via an electronic signal.
Many different object-sensing technologies are in use today. Here are seven of the most…
