Robot density nearly doubled globally - International Federation of Robotics reports
The use of industrial robots in factories around the world is accelerating at a high rate: 126 robots per 10,000 employees is the new average of global robot density in the manufacturing industries - nearly double the number five years ago (2015: 66 units). This is according to the 2021 World Robot Statistics, issued by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).
Big Trends in Offline Programming Software for Robot
In the world of robotics, Offline Programming (OLP) has come a long way in a short time, and the global pandemic has jumpstarted more innovation. Industrial robots have evolved to collaborative robots ("cobots") that work side by side with their human counterparts.
How Commercial Robotics Could Improve the Inventory and Shipping Crisis of 2021
Supply chains have been disrupting virtually every industry from top to bottom. Numerous factors are contributing to the issue, so finding a solution that can mitigate the strain on the supply chain is challenging.
UltraFlex performing fast and energy-efficient induction brazing of Stainless steel, Molybdenum, Kovar and Ceramic Elements for research purposes
The test applications set up by UltraFlex proved the possibility to use induction heating to efficiently braze parts of different size and material. Thanks to the digital control of UltraFlex induction heaters, the brazing process can be set up precisely and process optimizations can be easily identified.
Overcoming challenges in cobot implementation
In the last ten years, collaborative robots have become almost as ubiquitous as industrial robots, with companies citing increased productivity as the reason for choosing them, according to robotics manufacturer Robotiq. But how exactly do cobots influence the workflow and what are some of the challenges of using them on the factory floor? Here Neil Bellinger, head of EMEA at automation parts supplier EU Automation, explains how some of the most common downsides of cobots are being overcome.
