More than 20,000 DENSO small industrial robots are employed in the company's own manufacturing facilities, and more than 77,000 additional DENSO small industrial robots are used by other companies worldwide. 

 

Your company will be exhibiting at ATX & Design & Manufacturing West, what is it that makes this an important event for your company? 

ATX & Design & Manufacturing West is the premier event for Southern CA bringing manufacturers from all over the West coast, which gives DENSO Robotics the opportunity to highlight the quality and longevity of our products and how we can solve many of the manufacturing concerns our customers routinely experience.  


Highlight 2 or 3 products you will be showcasing at the event?

With the release of DENSO's newest 6 axis robot, Cobotta, we have targeted the marketing of small, delicate parts handling, with the selection of both an industrial mode of operation, as well as, a collaborative mode of operation.

With options of integrated gripper, integrated vision, integrated suction and several others, Cobotta can be deployed in a fraction of the time it takes to deploy standard robot arms. 

 

ATX & Design & Manufacturing West has many educational sessions, forums & Demo’s, is your company involved in any of them this year?

DENSO Robotics' in-booth demos will include: 
Automation Training Cell - gives hands-on instruction in integrating, programming and operating industrial robot work cells. 
Ultraclean - VS-S2 six-axis robot meets the strict hygienic requirements of the pharmaceutical, medical and life sciences industries. 
Viper MBC Screw Driving Robot by Visumatic - uses DENSO 4 axis SCARA robot for seamless integration by machine builders. 

 

The factory floor is undertaking rapid advancements, be it automation, robotics, machine vision or data.  The Automation Technology is a huge part for many manufacturers, give us an idea on how your company and product is being utilized now in the smart factory. 

As the largest user of small assembly robots globally DENSO has been at the forefront in the advanced use of information networks linking our manufacturing plants and our OE customers. As we move into the future with Industry 4.0 DENSO is already producing the infrastructure to power our factories in this area, its an exciting time in automation. 

 

Give us your thoughts on what the future holds for manufacturers and automation technology 

The new tools being created will allow todays manufacturers to remove many of the limitations we had been encumbered with in the past and allow us to focus on producing much higher levels of creativity, productivity and product satisfaction in our products.

uEye XC AUTOMATICALLY PERFECT IMAGES

Combining the ease of use of a webcam with the performance and reliability of an industrial camera? The uEye XC autofocus camera from IDS Imaging Development Systems proves that this is possible. Its high-resolution imaging, simple setup and adaptability make it an invaluable tool for improving quality control and streamlining workflows in industrial settings - especially for cases where users would normally employ a webcam. The uEye XC autofocus camera features a 13 MP onsemi sensor and supports two different protocols: USB3 Vision, which enables programmability and customization, and UVC (USB Video Class). The UVC functionality enables a single cable connection for easy setup and commissioning, while delivering high-resolution images and video. This makes the uEye XC camera an ideal option for applications that require quick setup and need to manage variable object distances. Additional features such as digital zoom, automatic white balance and color correction ensure precise detail capture, which is essential for quality control.
