KUKA Adds Training Resource to FABTECH 2023
The all-in-one cart is mobile, fits through standard size doors, can be used without the welder for general training purposes, and can even be used for the manufacturing of smaller parts.
SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich., July 17, 2023 - KUKA will feature its ready2_educate_arc education cart that includes a KR AGILUS and Lincoln R450 welder at FABTECH 2023. The all-in-one cart is mobile, fits through standard size doors, can be used without the welder for general training purposes, and can even be used for the manufacturing of smaller parts.
The cart also features a fume extractor, built-in fixture table and available options that include Touch Sense, Arc Sense, TRACC TCP and KUKA.Sim.

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.
