We proudly report that cobots are gaining ground and that this is understandable given the major staff shortages and the need for companies …

The number of applications in which industrial robots share their working environment with people is increasing. Robots appropriate for such applications are equipped with safety systems according to ISO/TS 15066:2016 and are often referred to as collaborative robots (cobots). Due to the nature of human-robot …

Productieprocessen met een high mix – low volume bieden een grote uitdaging voor automatisering. Enerzijds geeft automatisering bij deze kleine aantallen een beperkte besparing in de kosten, anderzijds zijn de implementatiekosten hoog door de grote variatie en complexiteit. Juist bij deze toepassingen …

Industrial robot manipulators are widely used for repetitive applications that require high precision, like pick-and-place. In many cases, the movements of industrial robot manipulators are hard-coded or manually defined, and need to be adjusted if the objects being manipulated change position. To increase …
