What Are The Differences Between Safe LiDAR and LiDAR?
One of the key elements to consider when selecting LiDAR technology is whether you need safe LiDAR or LiDAR. But what makes LiDAR safe? And when do you need a safety-rated device? Well, look no further, we've got the answers for you right here!
Why Industrial Robotics is Experiencing Steady Growth
The World Robotics 2021 Industrial Robots report shows a record of 3 million industrial robots operating worldwide - an impressive 10% increase from the previous year.
Synchronized Mobile Robot Fleets Bring New Versatility and Investment Protection to Assembly Operations
A trend toward replacing those fixed, conveyor-based assembly lines with fleets of mobile robots holds the promise of another step change in manufacturing efficiency and new adaptability to market volatility.
What's Holding Back Robot Adoption? - With the UK Lagging Behind Its Competitors, What Needs to Change?
While it's hoped that figures will have changed since the IFR's previous report, the gap between the UK and other countries shows there's still a clear need to drive up robotic adoption.
What are Resolution, Accuracy & Repeatability
Understanding resolution, accuracy and repeatability is critical to specifying a position sensor. This paper defines these terms and discusses how they relate to overall system performance.
Laser-Guided Vehicles: Supporting Sustainability in Manufacturing and Distribution
Compared to conventional lift trucks, LGVs provide more consistent throughput of pallets between manufacturing and distribution functions, less damage to racking, raw materials and merchandise, reduced labor requirements, and lower cost of operation.
Implementing the Most Efficient Picking Paths to Meet Crucial KPIs
In today's demanding market, efficiency of operations is an essential factor to remaining competitive. One area where there are often substantial opportunities for improvement is your warehouse pick paths.
Automatic Loading and Unloading of Pressed Parts Through 3D Container Inspection
The actual workflow that FrameSense is designed to automate is part of many manufacturing operations. A component comes out of a machine - here a press - and runs on a conveyor belt to a container.
CoaXPress over Fiber
Fiber optics transmit data as pulses of light through strands of fiber made of glass or plastic. When bundled with hundreds of other strands, the resulting fiber optic cable will transmit more data at faster speeds and over longer distances than high-grade copper cables.
SCARA Robot Sorts Recyclables Using a Simple Conveyor Speed Feedback System
As Everest Labs was developing their system to be sold to recycling centers worldwide, they found that their robot needed speed feedback in order to track the recyclables on the conveyor, and therefore needed a simple way to install conveyor speed feedback on a gear motor.
Preparing Your Facility for Mobile Robots: Key Considerations for Seamless Integration
Successful AMR implementation requires careful consideration of several key factors: space analysis, floor conditions, and environmental factors, among others.
Important Trends Impacting the AMR Space
As enterprises transition to 5G wireless networks, which are built specifically to move even more data more quickly and more accurately, AMR performance will make a huge leap, with faster, more precise decisions about the paths they take within the facility.
5 Advantages of Buying vs Making an Embedded Conveyor for OEM Applications
By outsourcing this essential component of their projects, businesses can gain a competitive edge, save valuable time, reduce costs, and benefit from the expertise of conveyor system manufacturers.
What Place Do Robots Have in the Future of eCommerce?
The rapid development of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) has given rise to a new type of business model - eCommerce. Buying and selling goods over the internet instead of a brick-and-mortar store is the new norm.
Case Study: Glide-Line's Zero Contact Zoned Conveyor For Integrator, Mid-South Industrial Automation
Mid-South Automation's team was challenged to find a cost-effective way to make a 34 station modular system, making each module (or section) self-powered.

BitFlow Introduces 6th Generation Camera Link Frame Grabber: The Axion
BitFlow has offered a Camera Link frame grabbers for almost 15 years. This latest offering, our 6th generation combines the power of CoaXPress with the requirements of Camera Link 2.0. Enabling a single or two camera system to operate at up to 850 MB/S per camera, the Axion-CL family is the best choice for CL frame grabber. Like the Cyton-CXP frame grabber, the Axion-CL leverages features such as the new StreamSync system, a highly optimized DMA engine, and expanded I/O capabilities that provide unprecedented flexibility in routing. There are two options available; Axion 1xE & Axion 2xE.
The Axion 1xE is compatible with one base, medium, full or 80-bit camera offering PoCL, Power over Camera Link, on both connectors. The Axion 2xE is compatible with two base, medium, full or 80-bit cameras offering PoCL on both connectors for both cameras.
The Axion-CL is a culmination of the continuous improvements and updates BitFlow has made to Camera Link frame grabbers.
