How do they do that? Putting together the robotic arm

Engineers design robot arms with a very specific job and function in mind. Robot arms use automation scientists that combine their knowledge of machines and computers to learn and/or perform operational tasks. These engineers will create a robot that has the perfect speed, accuracy, and ability to tackle other variables in the environment they are designed to work in.

Minimizing the Melt - Robot Plastic Deburring

KUKA has created a solution for deburring plastics with their automation systems. They partnered with Roboter Technologie and offered their KUKA KR 15 that can cut and deburr in a single operation while adjusting to the inevitable shrinkage of the plastic material. This solution is very beneficial on a production line that needs to keep plastic production up and running.

Benefits of Robotic Deburring

A deburring robot can accomplish tasks much faster and with greater quality than a manual production line. Deburring robots help lead to a fast return on investment of the robot; they work endlessly and without the need for any breaks.

Versatility is Key for Assembly Robots

Assembly robots are very successful at completing tasks quickly and with superior quality. They can be assigned to multitask, reducing cycle times and increasing productivity of the facility line. The way an assembly line robot completes tasks, truly cannot be matched by manual assembly jobs.

End-of-Arm Tooling Cuts Assembly Costs

Assembly robots and their unique end of arm tooling options provides the ability for your manufacturing line to cut costs and create a more effective production process. End of arm tooling on assembly robots can combine and eliminate processes while also providing the ability to realign manpower.

Deburring Automation - Smoothing Out the Rough Edges

Deburring automation can help get rid of rough edges in an easy to set up and use fashion with robotic automation deburring systems. Deburring robots can increase the quality of a product and produce better cycle times than manually deburring.

My robot broke! – What to do when you need robot parts

Robots.com has been in the robot industry for more than two decades and knows just what you need when it comes to new robots or parts. Robots.com representatives take pride in their customer service and timely shipping as they know just how important it is to get a production line up and running as quickly as possible.

What is Flexdeburr?

Flexdeburr, is a deburring tool that brings fast speeds (40,000 RPM) that significantly reduce cycle time. Flexdeburr also includes integrated radial compliance. There are a variety of Flexdeburr options available to best meet your unique production needs.

Fanuc Robots Designs Complete Dress Package

Fanuc Robotics has a variety of dress packages available that are cable management systems to help reduce the wear on cables and hoses over time. Dress packages can save your company on maintenance costs and increase the overall life of your robot.

Deburring Robots Removing Welding Lines

If a welding line is causing a weak spot in a product, deburring robots can save the day! Deburring robots put a chamfer on the product, enabling the welding line to disappear.

Avoiding the Mess: Push Connectors Reduce Spatter

Weld spatter can affect the quality of the welding area and cause issues with the final product. Push connectors help to prevent spatter build-up in the lines.

Assembly with pictures – vision is guiding assembly robotics

Robotic vision cameras and sensors enhance a robot's ability to guide a robot arm to the product and part. The cameras can be set up independently of a robot or on the robot, ensuring the robots are doing their job correctly with each item. Vision robots can even correctly identify a chip or problem with a product, ensuring no bad product goes out.
