Industrial Robotics Market is Expected to Reach $41.17 Billion, Globally, by 2020
Rapid growth in automation demands, coupled with reduction of duties on refurbished goods in Asia Pacific region has fueled the growth of this market.
Next Generation Smart Miniature Wi-Fi Modules Accelerate IoT and M2M
Low-power, low-cost Wi-Fi modules enable nearly any device to connect with smart phones, tablets and cloud-based applications across The Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M).
Added Value From An Ejector With Integrated Controls?
Air-driven ejectors are gaining pace as the vacuum source for suction cup handling equipment on robots and special purpose machines (ex: case/carton erectors, de-stackers, unloading equipment, etc.)
Make It Smart; Make It Here!
Make it smart and make it here! These are the rallying words heard around the world regarding keeping jobs in-country and manufacturing smarter, more efficiently, and less costly.
Inductive Linear Sensors
Todays applications require their sensors feedback in much quicker intervals. The faster the response, the faster the production or through put of work, which results in a low cost per unit or operation.
Bionic Kangaroo
With the artificial kangaroo, Festo also shows how pneumatic and electric drive technology are combined in a highly dynamic system.
What is Rapid Prototyping?
Whether a robot is needed to prototype a part or a robot is the object being prototyped, Rapid Prototyping is the future.
Design With Touchless Rotary Sensors
Touchless rotary sensors are position sensors that use a position marker attached to an applications rotating part plus a sensor to measure the markers angle.
Why I Automate: Engineered Machined Products, Inc.
Like any small company introducing change into their operations, some employees feared that automation may take their jobs. But at EMP, the opposite was true. "Weve seen jobs grow, and thats very important; not only for this community, but for the State of Michigan,"
Festo's FAST Program
The FAST™ Program is a group of close to 2,000 products that can be utilized in many automation applications that we guarantee to ship within 1, 3, or 5 days, depending on the configuration.
National Robotics Week And MATE ROV Competition
The 2014 MATE competition highlights the role that ROVs play in exploring and documenting shipwrecks, studying sinkholes, and conserving our national maritime heritage sites.
Graphene - The New Magical Material
Graphene may possibly be the future replacement for silicone. Its a two-dimensional material that measures just one atom thick and has a breaking strength 300 times greater than steel.
Cable Carriers for Rotary Applications
Here are three different types of rotary applications and the cable carrier system used for each.
How Trends in Electronics are Affecting Connectors
New smaller and more portable electronics in aerospace, defense, and other stressful environments, like those encountered in robotics and oil exploration, are resulting in changing demands and designs of electronic connector systems.
DRC SafeStop Case Study
For the Robotics Challenge, to demonstrate the robots ability to operate a vehicle, DARPA chose to use the RANGER XP 900 EPS vehicles, which were all customized for the challenge with a TORC SafeStop Emergency System.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
