Better Palletizing with Motoman PalletSolver Software

Motoman has developed an easy-to-use palletizing software called PalletSolver. This software will help to enable fast and easy setup as well as specific customization routines to your production line. Manufacturers will no longer have to shutdown the automation system for long periods of time, ultimately saving a company time and money.

Robot Grippers

The end of arm tooling for robots, also known as the robot gripper, is one of the most important parts of the robot system. The right type of gripper is imperative as the end-of-arm tool (EOAT) comes in direct contact with the product. There are four types of robotic grippers to choose from: vacuum grippers, pneumatic grippers, hydraulic grippers, and servo-electric grippers.

Improve Weld Quality and Cycle Times with Motoman's AccuFast II

Motoman's new laser-based seam finder called AccuFast II will help to improve the weld quality and reduce cycle times on your production line. AccuFast II is an enhanced software that offers increased performance with improved sensor capabilities for Motoman's Arc Welding robots in the MA- and VA- series. These robots, combined with AccuFast II, can provide a non-contact commercial point laser to enable the quick and accurate location of welding seams. It reduces cycle times as the need to cut the weld wire is reduced while also being able to search at faster speeds due to the elimination of wire deflection.

ArcTool Software

Fanuc has created an application software to help enhance arc welding applications called ArcTool. ArcTool was designed to be easy to load and configure, enabling an easy setup and operation of your Fanuc robot arc welding system. For more questions or to begin the integration of the ArcTool software, contact Robots.com experts today.
