It's a reconditioned robot blowout! We recently added three new industrial robot arm models to our Specials page! Check them out!
Motoman SK6 MRC: This six-axis, fully reconditioned robot arm can perform arc welding, material handling, and many other industrial tasks while maintaining a +/- 0.1 millimeter repeatability.
We’ve told you about industrial robots, robot parts, workcells, the robotic industry, automation, and on and on and on… You get it. You are probably reading this article because you are interested in robotics. Maybe you are an engineer. Maybe you are studying to be an engineer. Maybe you are learning about becoming a robotic technician. Or maybe you have soaked in all this robotic information and are ready to become a part of the robotic world.
Today’s competitive industrial economic environment demands that manufacturers build the highest quality products as cheaply as possible. Chances are that your company has spent a lot of time figuring out the most cost-effective, leanest way to manufacture your product. What is the best way to do this? Reorganizing the work floor? Maybe. Motivating your employees? Possibly. A new direction in your manufacturing process? You’re on the right track.
KUKA Robotics has introduced a new line of industrial robots with varying payload capacities and reach capabilities. The new QUANTEC series gives users a whole new spectrum of automated solutions to material handling, palletizing, spot welding, and a number of other industrial applications. The QUANTEC series is broken up into several sub-series.
That’s right! We are looking to fill several positions at RobotWorx, and we are going out into the community to find candidates for these positions.
Come visit us at the annual Marion Campus Career & Education Fair, which will be held this Thursday, February 23, 2012 from 11 AM until 2 PM. The event will be held at the Alber Student Center on the Ohio State University at Marion’s campus. We will have information on the positions we are looking to fill.
…and the Oscar goes to Kyle Tannyhill and Brian Schrote for their work in the Tri-Rivers Career Center commercial!
Ok… Maybe it’s not that serious, but we think it’s pretty cool that Kyle and Brian will be featured on local TV.
Tri-Rivers Career Center chose Kyle and Brian as features graduates because they continued to work locally in Marion after finishing school. Kyle and Brian both took courses through Tri-Rivers as seniors in high school.
We often hear about what industrial robots are. They cut cycle times, perform industrial applications, and provide many other benefits to manufacturers. What we don’t hear too often is what industrial robots are NOT. Let’s look at FANUC’s M-710.
What the FANUC M-710 is NOT
Inaccurate: A precise repeatability of +/- 0.15 millimeters ensures that the point programmed is the point the robot arm will reach.
We’ve done it so much, it's almost a tradition! After donating a few robot arms to COSI (Center of Science and Industry) in Columbus, Ohio, RobotWorx has given a presentation/demonstration at the central Ohio science museum’s Robot Science Day for the last three years.
Our general manager John Messaros presented a slide show for visitors to the exhibit.
Did you miss the FABTECH 2011 trade show in Chicago this year? Don’t worry! Several RobotWorx employees visited the show and saw some new, innovative technologies. We even have the pictures and video to prove it!
FANUC, Motoman, and KUKA were among the exhibitors who automated arc welding, spot welding, machine tending, pick and place, and material handling applications with their industrial robots and robotic systems.
