Robots That Kill... And How to Stop Them

It is very important to set up proper safety mechanisms on your robotic system. There are a wide range of options available to make your safety environment completely safe for your workers including fencing, pressurized mats, and light curtains. Talk to Robots.com experts today to figure out what the best options for your production line are.

Press Tending Robots - Increasing Productivity and Safety

If you are looking to increase your productivity and safety for your press tending application, look no further than press tending robots. A press tending robot will handle materials that go into and come out of pressing machines with a specific end effector. Depending on your specific application needs, these robots can can move the work piece from place to place, ultimately improving the speeds on your production line.

Press Tending with the Fanuc M-900iA/150P

The Fanuc M-900iA/150P is an incredible robot from the Fanuc press tending line that saves companies time and worker injury. The M-900iA/150P provides high-speed press tending and incredible repeatability. The manufacturing line can expect a piece of metal to be pressed in the same place every time, helping to decrease production time and waste.

Benefits of Industrial Robots

Industrial robots have significantly enhanced productivity, safety, and time efficiency in various industries. By performing precise and consistent work, robots can produce high-quality results without requiring breaks or time off. Additionally, they help reduce the risk of injury or exposure to dangerous environments.

Laser cutting with KUKA Robotics

Using a KUKA laser cutting robot for your cutting application will help to eradicate interruptions and downtime. The safety environment is further improved as it removes human workers from the particles and metal shards that are released during the laser cutting process.

Heavy lifting with KUKA heavy duty robots

Heavy duty jobs can now be completed with KUKA heavy duty robots. These robots can lift objects from 300 kg to 1300 kg quickly and efficiently. These heavy duty KUKA robots can work in a variety of industries such as glass, foundry, automotive, and building material.

Fabrication and Cleanroom Technology in Hayward, California

Hayward, California is seeing a higher integration of cleanroom industrial robots. These robots can tend presses and move sheet metal pieces from one press to another. Using an industrial robot will help your industry save money on labor and production costs.

ABB offers foundry robot protection with Foundry Plus

ABB's Foundry plus program was designed to protect robots in rough conditions where extra wear can occur. Foundry Plus can reduce the risk of downtime and repairs and increase the overall service life. ​

Feed the machine: machine tending robots

Machine tending robots are able to increase the rate of production by up to 20%. Furthermore, robots are eliminating operator safety issues and helping to perform secondary operations.

Eliminating Worker Injury with Stacking Robots

When an automation system is integrated on a production line, workers can expect an increased safety environment and reduction of back breaking labor. Stacking robots can help to reduce injuries as they take care of the receptive motions and heavy lifting. ​

Protecting robotic wires to reduce costs

Industrial robots have a variety of wires that helps the operation and communication of their arm. If the wires are properly maintained and protected, than a manufacturer can expect to have reduced wire costs. Moltec partnered with an electrical team to ensure they had the proper protection for their robotic system wires.

Types of Robotic Coatings

Coating and painting robots will help to increase the quality of work on your production line. There are a variety of types of robotic coatings available such as thermal spray coatings and field joint coatings.
