Enabling AMR Customer Success Through Inductive Charging Technology

Mobile robot OEMs and end users must find reliable ways to keep vehicles active. Inductive wireless charging is emerging as the new power supply standard for mobile robots and industrial e-vehicles.

5 Things to Consider Before Creating an Automated Vehicle System

If you currently manufacture industrial vehicles, such as forklifts or tow tractors, vehicle automation could open a new revenue stream. But it's a big project, and getting it wrong could prove to be an expensive exercise.

How Simulation Can Secure Your Robotics Investment

Robotics simulation can be defined as a digital tool used to engineer robotics-based automated production systems. Essentially, robot simulation employs a digital representation to enable dynamic interaction with robot models and machines in a virtual environment.

Ways to Improve Your IMU Performance

Despite massive performance improvements, MEMS IMUs still have unique characteristics users should be aware of. By accounting for these in your system and following good IMU data practices, you can be assured the best performance for your application.

Fully Automated Packaging Systems Use Reliable, Durable Cameras to Ensure Sufficient Resolution and Speed for Flawless Sorting and Packaging

For Next-generation Surgical Robots, Minimize the Axial Length of Your Robotic Joints

Standalone arms provide much greater flexibility in positioning compared to the conventional design, allowing multiple arms to be aligned in a plane much closer to parallel. To further approach the parallel ideal, the bulk of each arm must be minimized.

What is a Cobot? Bridging the Gap Between Robots and Humans

Optical components play a key role in the optimal performance of today's cobots, allowing them to see and respond to their environment in real-time and ensuring that they operate safely and effectively.

Update for the AI System IDS-NXT Cameras Can Now Also Detect Anomalies

The intelligent IDS NXT cameras are now able to detect anomalies independently and thereby optimize quality assurance processes. For this purpose, users train a neural network that is then executed on the programmable cameras.

Machine Shop Robots Get Real

To better understand the benefits of cobot automation and how it works on the shop floor, we spoke to two leading providers of automated tools to small shops targeting two of the most time consuming and difficult to staff processes, quality control and welding.

Automated Support Removal & Finishing for Metal AM - Robots vs CNC

This article will address the transition to automated support removal (and finishing) solutions and consider the advantages and disadvantages of using CNC systems versus the versatility and reliability of robots.

AI and the Chocolate Factory

Reinforcement learning is an approach adopted from artificial intelligence (AI) that mathematically replicates natural learning. The chocolate factory is an example of how application-specific optimised controls can be developed much faster in this way.

Forklift Safety: AGVs to the Rescue

As a relatively new addition to site operations, standards and data on AGV safety are still developing, but some AGV manufacturers are going above and beyond the minimum requirements to help ensure accident-free operations.

12 Ways Companies Are Automating Workflows With Mobile Robots

AMRs can pick up waste (scrap material, packaging, manufacturing by-products) from various points throughout the facility and automatically take it to the nearest waste disposal zone.

AMRs in Fleet Operation and Test Deployment

Manufacturing companies are turning to AMR support in increasing numbers, not just on a small scale, but the interest in entire AMR fleets is gaining significant traction.

How Robotics Can Help Global Renewable Energy Goals & Create Jobs

By buffering the dangerous aspects of solar module maneuvering and installation, these smart robotic arms are creating processes to move solar equipment faster and build sites with fewer errors.

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
