Robotic Systems in Action

Robot­ic sys­tems have been around for years in one way or anoth­er. Since the Uni­mate came on the scene in the 1960s, robots have tak­en over many of the tedious, dull and dan­ger­ous jobs that were once han­dled by human workers.

Today, these robot­ic sys­tems can do almost any­thing. With a robot arm that acts much like a human arm with a shoul­der, elbow and wrist, these robots can weld, as well as han­dling and remov­ing mate­r­i­al from a pletho­ra of items.

In the man­u­fac­tur­ing indus­try, robot sys­tems are being put to work for many dif­fer­ent tasks. Robots are assem­bling and weld­ing cars, air­planes, fur­ni­ture and refrig­er­a­tors. Robots are sort­ing and pack­ag­ing cakes, cook­ies and pota­to chips. Robots are even putting togeth­er the moth­er­boards of the com­put­ers that every­one uses today.

Man­u­fac­tur­ers turn to robot­ic sys­tems due to the sev­er­al advan­tages that these sys­tems bring to the table for any application.

Robots reduce cycle times, which in turn speeds up pro­duc­tion for the man­u­fac­tur­er and keeps pro­duc­tion costs low. Robots enhance the accu­ra­cy dur­ing weld­ing and part manip­u­la­tion, an accu­ra­cy that can­not be matched by human hands. And, robots can even keep work­ers safe by per­form­ing the brunt of the work on jobs that can be injury-induc­ing or need to be per­formed in haz­ardous environments.

All in all, robots have come a long way since the Uni­mate, and robot com­pa­nies will con­tin­ue to inno­vate and improve their robot­ic sys­tems for decades to come.

Robots​.com, a cer­ti­fied inte­gra­tor for robot sys­tems from Fanuc, Motoman, ABB, Uni­ver­sal Robots, and KUKA, has sev­er­al sys­tems avail­able for cus­tomiza­tion and pur­chase. Robots​.com’ high­ly-skilled team of tech­ni­cians and engi­neers work with the cus­tomer to design the right sys­tem for their facility.
