Automating testing and inspection requires careful consideration of tools, including robot type, end-of-arm tooling, and ancillary systems. While cobots are popular for quality tasks, their full collaborative capabilities may not be utilized in some applications, leading to higher costs without maximizing benefits.

Easily combine peripheral devices with Kassow Robots cobots and integrate them even faster.

Refit will support customers and ABB’s leadership in growing US robotics segments, including Packaging & Logistics, Food & Beverage, Construction, Lifesciences & Healthcare and Automotive electric vehicle production.

Automate 2024 is seeing record registrations, indicating a surge in automation growth in North America. Anticipated sales recovery in the latter half of 2024 spans industries like healthcare, construction, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals, driven by the recognition of automation's benefits in handling challenging tasks.

The organizations favor a collaborative partnership as independent entities to enhance operational performance, responsiveness, and strategic flexibility.

Quality sat down with Stefan Friedrich of New Scale Robotics to explain why quality is often one of the later steps to automate. Adopting a robot or cobot can be intimidating but it doesn’t need to be. Here he describes what quality professionals need to know. Hint: it’s not programming.

Organization to commemorate a legacy of 50 years of advancing automation and robotics technologies throughout 2024, with major tributes planned this week at the A3 Business Forum in Orlando.

The automation of materials testing has been an evolutionary process. The task of automatically feeding standard specimens into universal testing machines has been in place for decades—at least as far back as the 1980s.

As businesses constantly refine their methods and gather data from various tools to get a clearer picture of how products move, they are increasingly reliant on automation.

Smart Vision Lights (SVL) announces that its DoAll multifunctional light — which comprises six different machine vision lights — has received UR+ certification from Universal Robots.
