3 Simple Steps to Incorporate Cobots
Hopefully, your manufacturing operations are like shooting fish in a barrel. But without
robust machine monitoring and the IIoT, you’re more likely going to be shooting in the dark.
Can’t we all just get along? We can, thanks to smarter, more human-aware robotics.
The robotics and machine automation supplier says its new cobots can handle payloads of up to 12 kg.
To raise the bar on the status quo in unlimited hydroplanes, Ellstrom Racing started Five-Axis Industries, which in the beginning was essentially a hobby shop specializing in five-axis machining to make difficult-to-manufacture parts from hard metals, including titanium and stainless alloys.
As more original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and job shops “warm up” to the idea of laser welding, many have turned their attention to four specific technologies.
