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.
Looking for the newest, most versatile solution to packaging and material handling applications? Look no further than the newest edition to Motoman’s material handling line. The six-axis Motoman MH80 offers users a generous 80 kilogram payload capacity, a long 2,061 millimeter horizontal reach, and a precise 0.07 millimeter repeatability.
So what’s so special about the MH80? Aren’t there other robots with similar specifications? Yes, there are.
Necessity is the mother of invention and in response to packing automation challenges, robot manufacturers have created a wide variety of packing robot solutions.
Packing applications require smart, flexible, and precise robots. Packaging materials and product shapes are always changing. Packing jobs range from inspecting, case coding, and reading barcodes, to sorting, labeling, and pick and placing items. Find out about the diversity of packing robots available.
Yaskawa Motoman Robots has recently expanded its multipurpose Material Handling (MH) robot series. The newcomer, MH215, is a fast-moving and powerful solution for large product handling.
Made for Top Performance
Large part processing is easy for this mighty robot. The MH215 is engineered with high-durability drive units in each major axis. In spite of this robot's high-speed abilities, it provides unparalleled high moment and inertia ratings. Repeatability is a stable +/- 0.2mm.
The typical industrial robot has six axes of flexibility. However, some of Motoman Robotics' material handling robots stray from the norm and achieve extraordinary performance with a five axis construction.
Yaskawa Motoman Robotics' 5 Axis MPK2
The MPK2 is a five axis robot designed to perform high-speed material handling applications. This nimble and slim robot has a light 2kg payload and compact base. Its wrist is capable of moving 2,000 degrees per second.
Vacuum grippers are among the most flexible and useful EOAT options available for material handling robots. RobotWorx has integrated vacuum pick and place robot solutions for many of its customers. Find out about the many advantages of vacuum EOAT:
A Wide Appeal: Vacuum grippers are used in a number of industries, including packaging, food, electronics, solar energy, and more.
Railing-mounting, axis positions, dual arms...
When it comes to engineering the right robotic solution for injection molding, manufacturers get creative.
Rail-Mount
Rail-mounted robots and injection molding machines are a winning combination. Robots that are attached to rails take up less room and can cover large distances very effectively and quickly.
Smaller industrial robots may not have a commanding presence, but they offer a number of advantages.
The Price is Right
First and foremost, small robots have smaller price tags. They do not require as much of a financial commitment as larger models. For this reason, small robots are an excellent option for companies purchasing their first robot. Because small robots cost less, they are able to provide a return on investment within a shorter time frame.
The Fanuc M-420iA meets material handling challenges head on. Sturdy and rugged, this 4-axis model is ideal for a multitude of tasks from assembly to machine tending and palletizing.
When it comes to choosing a suitable material handling robot, everything is determined by work envelope and payload. A 40kg payload and 1855mm horizontal reach allow the M-420iA to multitask. This particular model is built for floor installation.
Increase productivity, safety, and flexibility with robotic press brake tending.
Press brake machines and articulated robots are a study in opposites. While press brakes are large, guillotine-style machines designed for bending sheet metal and other materials, robots are slim, compact, and capable of great application flexibility. But this unusual match generates incredible results.
Safety:
Robotic press brake tending solutions are inherently safer.
