International Paper Saves Labor Costs, Improves Reliability, Quality and Work Flow
Downtime near zero vs. extended downtime of former gantry system.
Beta Testing Dynamixel XL-320 Servos
Dynamixel XL-320 is a digital servo (in this case, featuring a 8-bit STM8 controller).
What to Look for When Specifying a Robot Cable
In order for a cable to withstand repeated torsional movement, it's necessary for the cable to have a special design. It's important that the conductors, shield construction and jacket materials of the cable compensate for major changes in bending load and diameter.
Robotic Welding Series: Robotic Flexibility Can Open Up Opportunities For Job Shops
This is the final installment of a 4-part series by KC Robotics about the automated arc welding industry.
Why I Automate: Vickers Engineering
Robotics allows us to draw a different level of employee. Employees that aren't just looking for a paycheck, but looking for a career.
Interview with Jim Gruszczynski of Nabtesco Motion Control
In the near future the more advanced the equipment becomes we must produce more skilled labor. This is great benefit to the US in that companies themselves will be helping educate their employees and improving the workforce.
2013 Nanotechnology Patent Literature Review
Similar to computers, nanotechnology is both an enabling technology and a technology sector in its own right. Nanotechnology is prolific in the research and development of almost every economic sector, from aerospace to medicine to energy.
The Unmanned Platform Common Control System (CCS)
The CCS prototype was developed for the U.S. government and its goal is to simultaneously control multiple unmanned assets in various environments (water, air and ground).
The Less is More Approach to Robotic Cable Management
There are different options available for guiding and protecting cables on six-axis robots. Three well- known solutions include flexible tubing, enclosed dress packs and robotic cable carrier systems.
3D Printing in the Dental Industry
3Shape implants planning and guided surgery software brings together implant planning, prosthetics, and drill guide design to provide a cost-efficient solution that saves chair-time and improves patient experience.
Brain Control Becomes A Reality
The fore-runner of brain communication to a robot is Neuroprosthetics, which is an area of neuroscience concerned with neural prostheses. That is, using artificial devices to replace the function of impaired nervous systems and brain related problems.
Trimble Adds Unmanned Aircraft System to its Agriculture Portfolio
The system can locate cattle and their available forage over large areas, measure crop height, and generate topographic maps and models for land leveling and drainage applications.
An Uncertain Future for Quantum Computing?
Quantum computing is here to shake the existing mechanical, electrical and electronic systems. Modern electronics in particular will not be the same if quantum computing gains acceptance. There're voices of support as well as dissent. In this post, we'll analyze future trends in quantum computing. Keep reading!
Robotic Welding Series: Pre-engineered Cells Cut Through Economics of Automation
This is the third of a 4-part series by KC Robotics about the automated arc welding industry.

Featured Product
ATI Industrial Automation at IMTS 2018
ATI Industrial Automation's MC-10 Manual Tool Changer provides a cost-effective solution for quickly changing tools by hand. Its compact yet robust design is optimized for collaborative robot applications. The ergonomic twist-collar locking mechanism ensures a secure attachment of the tool and easy manual operation with tactile feedback. This Manual Tool Changer can carry payloads of up to 22 lbs and includes multiple fail-safe features that resist vibration and prevent loosening. The MC-10 Manual Tool Changer has integrated air pass-through connections and options to connect electrical utilities if needed. ATI will feature the new MC-10 along with a variety of other robotic demonstrations and product displays at this year's IMTS show in Chicago (Booth #236417).
