Like most manual and fabrication processes in the digital age, welding has been enhanced and improved by technological concepts such as automation in recent times.
Everything Under Control
In modern systems, "pick-and-place" is performed by automated grippers. They must be able to operate both powerfully and delicately and do so precisely and reliably millions of times over. Increasingly, the necessary power comes from electric motors.
Universal Robots - Centercode Case Study
Universal Robots sought a partner to help transform their traditional, ad hoc, check-the-box user testing program into an efficient source of actionable product feedback to give them a significant edge on their competition.
Top of the Shops: Smart Warehouses & Evolving E-Commerce
Following the substantial rise that the e-commerce industry has experienced in the past few years and the consequential strain placed on warehousing facilities, sales growth is starting to slow following its pre-pandemic high.
What Is Multipath Interference? How to Minimize It in Time-of-flight Cameras?
Multipath interference is one of the biggest challenges faced in time of flight cameras. In this article, learn what multipath interference means, and the 3 methods you can use to minimize it.
What’s the Difference Between a Servo Motor and Motion Controller?
In the automation world, there can be a fine line between what is considered a motion controller and what represents a basic servo drive. It is critical to understand the functionality and intelligence of each device.
It’s a Wrap Thanks to a Pick-and-Place Robotic Vision System
Prior to the upgrade the process involved manual removal and depositing of bread packages, which was potentially error prone and certainly not as efficient. The team at KINE knew that machine vision was the only possible solution for this type of system.

Schmalz Technology Development - The Right Gripper for Every Task
In order to interact with their environment and perform the tasks, lightweight robots, like all industrial robots, depend on tools - and in many cases these are vacuum grippers. These form the interface to the workpiece and are therefore a decisive part of the overall system. With their help, the robots can pick up, move, position, process, sort, stack and deposit a wide variety of goods and components. Vacuum gripping systems allow particularly gentle handling of workpieces, a compact and space-saving system design and gripping from above. Precisely because the object does not have to be gripped, the vacuum suction cupenables gapless positioning next to each other.
