Three Things to Do Before Operating Your New Automated Equipment
Youre getting impatient to turn the main switch "on" to benefit from the enhanced productivity that it will give you. Before doing that, we recommend a few actions that should be completed before running at full production speed.
Volvo Construction Equipment Digs Up Prototype Savings Of 18 Weeks And 92% Of Costs
Since 3D printing the prototype cost $770 and took only two weeks, including both design and development, VCE completed its testing much sooner than traditional methods would have allowed.
Getting Started with Collaborative Robots - Part 4 - Assess Your Potential Applications
Documenting the actual process will allow you to evaluate if the process can be automated. This will also give you a starting point on cell performance and improvement opportunities.

Robotics 2016: Doubling Throughput in Distribution and Factory Operations
Two existing bakery facilities were successfully integrated into one and finished goods capacity nearly doubled from 6,500 lbs. /hour to 12,000 lbs. /hour.
Automating the Chemo Compounding Process
RIVA uses automation of sterile manipulations and isolation of the compounding area to solve major safety issues with manual compounding, which are accuracy of every dose measurements and assuring sterility of every finished compound.
Getting Started with Collaborative Robots - Part 3 - Get the team on board with robots
In this section, well discuss how to present the idea of automating your production with your workforce, and how to help diminish fears of working with robots.
Getting Started with Collaborative Robots - Part 2 - How to Identify Potential Processes for Automation
At this point, we need to discuss the strengths and limitations of process automation with collaborative robots.

This is the first in a series of articles about Collaborative Robots
How Universal Robots Doubled Production at Tegra Medical
Medical device manufacturer Tegra Medical faced profit erosion as costs went up and customers demanded price cuts. Deploying three collaborative robot arms from Universal Robots to tend the machines manufacturingmedical instruments doubled throughput, freed up 11 full time positions and enabled the manufacturer to keep up with customer demand while keeping costs down.
3D Printing of Motors and Electronics
My research involves developing techniques to 3D print electric motors and electronics. This goes beyond the usual 3D printed structures - structures dont do anything. To do things, we need motors and electronics to control those motors.
Robotic Additive Manufacturing Platform for 3D Printing Composite Parts
The first-of-its-kind solution consists of a standard commercially available robot, composite deposition end-effector hardware and a comprehensive software suite.
3D Printing and Acoustics: Rapid Prototyping of Sound Diffusers
By being able to design diffusers in 3D and print them, we streamline the prototyping process tremendously. We can do virtual simulations with the 3D models to get a sense of the effectiveness, and we can make aesthetic or functional changes before its printed.
Random Bin Picking And Part Loading System
Our customer was faced with manually moving heavy parts from multiple bins and placing them onto a conveyor to begin a heat-treating operation.
FABTECH 2015 - Interview with Chahe Bakmazjian, Business Team Leader for Robotmaster
