Mapping the Stars, Galaxies and Black Holes in the Universe, Thanks to Precision of Faulhaber Motors & Systems
Their force is transferred to the robot mechanics by means of suitable planetary gearheads. The robot mechanics used here were developed and constructed by MPS. Integrated encoders report the rotary position of the motors to the controller.
New Ideas, Collaboration Help Brenton Drive Four Major Product Handling Upgrades to KW Container
This cell included four robots picking lids and packing them into one of four SKUs. This cell, encapsulated in a small footprint, also included an auto adjustable case sealer to accommodate the four different SKU boxes, a palletizer and stretch wrapper.
Metaverse Companies: The World of the Virtually Limitless Possibilities
Here, Knight Optical - the leading supplier of metrology-tested, high-precision optical components - investigates the fascinating metaverse and explores some of the most recent advances.
General Purpose Programming Languages Are the Future for the Industrial Automation Industry and Are Overtaking Traditional PLC IEC 61131-3
IEC 61131-3 is the de facto standard in the industrial automation industry. It encompasses 5 different programming "languages". It makes designing simple programs straightforward and easy, and it does this very well.
Subsea Technologies: Optical Components in Deep Waters
Here, Knight Optical dives into the world of subsea technologies and runs through the optical components that are used to guarantee their high performance.
Automatic Forest Fire Detection System With AI Enables Early and Efficient Fire Fighting
Instead of elaborately programming a solution, neural networks and deep learning algorithms teach an image processing system to see, recognize and verify objects - in this case smoke.
Most Accurate Lotus Car Ever, Thanks to Cutting Edge Metrology
The CMM installed in Hethel is set one meter into the floor on a special foundation. It means that a car for inspection carried on an automated guided vehicle (AGV) is able to access the area without the need for any lifting equipment.
The Way to Combine Metal and Plastic: Insert Molding
IM is a popular manufacturing process because it is fast and efficient. It also allows for a high degree of precision, meaning that products made using insert molding are typical of high quality.
Swimming with the Substrates: Infrared (IR) Applications
Optical Components are manufactured from a wide range of substrates, and the very materials they're fabricated from dictates their suitability for specific tasks.
BP is Improving Safety and Efficiency by Using Robotics to Inspect Offshore Sites Remotely
Leveraging advanced technology and robotics to scale operations and focus employees on complex or specialized activities while improving safety and increasing operational efficiency.
Robots for Inspection and Maintenance Tasks
Inspection and maintenance tasks are a fundamental part of many industrial sectors: deteriorated infrastructures, tunnels, refineries, old buildings…
Powering Drones with Improved Mobile Mapping Systems
Have you ever wondered how we are able to have an accurate online map to use to get to anywhere we want to go? The answer lies in a process called mobile mapping. Mobile mapping allows users to visualize, record and understand environments, wherever they may be.
Power Conversion Breakthroughs Fuel a Robot Revolution
Today's integrated power modules are addressing the demanding size, weight, power budgets and cost efficiencies required to move robots from factory, residential and commercial applications into a vast new landscape bounded only by the imagination.
Following the Path to AGV Safety
Although automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are, by definition, designed to run autonomously, they usually need to collaborate with people and therefore move, and react, in a safe, predictable manner.
Molecular Robots Work Cooperatively in Swarms
In a global first, scientists at Hokkaido University have demonstrated that molecular robots are able to accomplish cargo delivery by employing a strategy of swarming, achieving a transport efficiency five times greater than that of single robots.
