Making automation affordable: reframing the cost of robotics
4 days agoAlthough the case for investment in industrial automation and robotics is strong, in the current climate of corporate belt-tightening, many automation projects don't make it off the drawing board because of the perceived high upfront investment. Oliver Selby, Head of Sales, FANUC UK, reframes the cost of robotics.
What Makes Something Feel Well Made?
8 days agoFrom the resistance of a control knob to the feel of a handle, Rencol Components explores how seemingly minor design decisions can have a major influence on perceptions of quality.
Critical considerations for improving robot productivity
9 days agoMounting a robot arm on a movable base, known as a 7th axis, adds flexibility, enhances collaboration and provides collision protection. A 7th axis is, however, a high-precision system, and maximising productivity from it requires close consideration of where and how you mount it, and application-specific factors such as the availability of collision detection systems and the number of linear guides used, as the experts at Thomson Industries explain.
European Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 is replacing Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Technically, it has already come into force but there is a transition period during which machinery is still being CE marked to the old Directive.
