Use of ASICS to allow high performance and profitable position sensors
The “position sensor” is a wide term covering a range of technologies. In this article, we consider the sensors that measure rotation and linear displacement.
Purdue researchers test the 3D concrete printing system as part of the NSF project
The transition to clean wind energy could become more profitable as researchers at Purdue University are testing new technology created by an international startup to anchor offshore wind turbines.
How to select the best engine for an articulated arm robot
There is an apparently endless selection of DC, Stepper and Servom Motor products on the market, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Entering the selection process that answered a few key questions, will considerably simplify the selection process.
Intelligent micro-customs for the watchmaking industry
Horosys was able to normalize, add flexibility and optimize the cost of intelligent micro-user using the smallest and precise industrial robot in the world.
Smart floating arm
They move like snakes and reach places that are too narrow or dangerous for humans. The robust robotic weapons of the company based in Tokyo Hibot take on the inspection, maintenance and repair at new levels.
Robots in the factory: boss or slaves?
Industrial robots have long had a reputation problem. In fact, distrust for automation has led to slow adoption in certain countries. In the United States, the 2019 report of the International Robotics Federation revealed that adoption rates were 49% below what was expected.
Robotics opens the way to spatial exploration
Motiv Space Systems made several contributions to the Mission March 2020 mission. The robotic arm of Perseverance was the development of the highest visibility subsystem. This role required a close relationship with the engineering team of JPL systems responsible for the sample and the impact efforts.
Scara Robots for fast cycle automation in an intelligent factory environment
As for the TS5000, its communication functions allow real -time data transmission between the robot and the controller, allowing manufacturers to integrate the system into an intelligent factory environment.
Double -arm collaborative robots increase flexibility and precision
James Anderton for Engineering.com: robotics is an ideal technology for fine assembly tasks, such as those in the electronics industry.
St Robotics offers a new super fast robot arm
The ST R17HS uses servomotors without cutting -edge broom and has an effective range of 750 mm, a repeatability of 0.2 mm and a maximum speed after an acceleration of 480 degrees / dry in the size, the elbow, the hand and the wrist of the robot, with a shoulder speed of 300 degis / dry. “The R17HS is the result of years of development that puts us ahead on the ground,” said David Sands, president and chief executive officer of St Robotics. “Customers find it useful for high speed production as well as to test applications requiring rapid movement of test devices.” Full press release:
Land robots today must take off
Neil Tardella for Ieee Spectrum: Darpa Robotics Challenge this summer has shown insofar as humanoid robots have traveled, but also how far they have not yet done before they can attack practical applications of the real world. Even the best of the DRC giants stumbled and fell, proving, as the IEEE spectrum noted at the time, that “not to work is a big advantage”. There is, in fact, a new way that does not work for robots to perform better and faster tasks: the dexterous drone. A light flying platform with a robotic arm combines the forces of two parallel industries in rapid development. Air drones such as quadcopters and octocoptera have been carried out in recent years as an industrial and viable consumption product with substantial versatility, versatility and durability. However, today’s drones are only flying bodies without arms or hands. Following …
Robotiq provides a feeling of contact to universal robots with a new strength torque sensor at 6 axes
Robotiq is launching its new strength torque sensor: FT 300, providing a feeling of contact to robots. With the integration of plugs and games on all universal robots, the FT 300 force torque sensor makes the automation of high -precision tasks such as product tests, assembly and insertion of precise and quick to configure precise parts.
St Robotics announces a new passive tool changer system
St Robotics has announced today the publication of its new passive tool changer system, the TC12, an innovative changer that requires no compressed air or electric to operate, for the ST RO12 and six axes articulated robot arms.
Energid Technologies developing a light robot arm for flying platforms
The new Robot arm funded by NASA and the Energid Actin software draw will support space and land applications
Yaskawa Motoman announces Ethernet / IP security software for the DX200 robot controller platform

3D vision: ENSENSO B now also available in mono version!
This series of compact 3D cameras combines a very short working distance, a large field of vision and a high depth of field – perfect for bins picking applications. With its ability to capture several objects on a large area, it can help robots to empty containers more effectively. Now available from IDS imaging development systems. In the color version of ENSENSO B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and material costs. Now you can also choose your model to be equipped with two single 5 MP sensors, reaching impressive spatial precision. With improved clarity and precision, you can fight applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of ENSENSO B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a large field of vision and an impressive depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is at home is unusually important. At a distance of 30 centimeters between the camera and the object, the precision Z is approx. 0.1 millimeters. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This series of 3D cameras complies with the IP65 / 67 protective class and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
