How Realtime Robotics helps robots avoid collisions

How Realtime Robotics helps robots avoid collisions

Realtime Robotics helps solve motion planning problems by providing robots with collision avoidance capabilities. Here, the robot avoids a researcher's waving hand. George Konidaris still remembers his frustrating introduction to robotics: "When you are a young student and want to program a robot, the first thing that shocks you is how incredibly disappointed you are in your ability to use the robot. Most new robotics experts hope to program their robots to solve interesting

ABB has expanded its small industrial robot production line with the IRB 1300.

The ABB IRB 1300 industrial robot is designed for confined spaces and handles a payload of 11 kg. ABB has expanded its small six-axis industrial robot series by launching the IRB 1300. The IRB1300 reduces cycle time by 27%, has nearly 60% less volume than the ABB IRB 1600, and is 83% smaller. The IRB 1300 measures only 220 mm x 220 mm, is designed for confined spaces, and allows more robots to be deployed in tight areas.

Heated Goudsmit electromagnetic filters remove iron particles from liquid chocolate

Heated Goudsmit electromagnetic filters remove iron particles from liquid chocolate

Goudsmit double-walled magnetic filters can remove iron particles as small as 30 µm from liquid chocolate. The filter housing is heated with warm water to keep the chocolate in a liquefied state. The design of the electromagnetic filter was recently modified at customer request to include a screen for filtering out product impurities such as paper, plastic particles, and stones. These double-walled magnetic filters are designed for viscous liquids that tend to solidify on cold surfaces. Suitable only for products with a low risk of bacterial proliferation (such as melted chocolate). Flowing through the double outer walls of the housing

goudsmit electromagnetic gripper for robot end-of-arm tooling

goudsmit electromagnetic gripper for robot end-of-arm tooling

Goudsmit recently improved magnetic grippers are used for automatic picking, placing, or positioning steel or other ferromagnetic objects. Examples include: removing metal sheets from presses, taking products out of boxes (box picking), assembling steel parts, handling stamped steel parts, blanks, and perforated steel sheets in robotic applications. The ultra-light magnetic gripper is equipped with robust neodymium magnets, making it very safe. It can be used as a gripper on robot arms. The actuating magnet can be opened and closed via compressed air and features a threaded hole interface for connection to the robotic arm, with an option to combine it with spring plungers.

Toyota Research Institute TRI stated that the soft silicone gripper represents a step forward for home robots.

For decades, visions of the future have featured robots as household assistants. However, despite years of development in robotics technology, the dream of home robots remains unrealized, except for some basic tasks such as floor vacuuming. Toyota Research Institute stated that it has developed a soft silicone gripper toward this goal. Toyota Research Institute TRI said that robotic assistance can not only help clean houses and offices but also assist the elderly, people with disabilities, or those facing age-related challenges, enabling them to live more independently, with dignity and happiness.

How Siemens achieves automated production of marine batteries

How Siemens achieves automated production of marine batteries

Siemens uses eight configurable robot cells and seven AGV to automate the production of marine batteries. As part of visionary environmental legislation, the Norwegian Parliament proposed in 2018 to ban harmful emissions from ferries and cruise ships operating in its fjords by 2026. This includes carbon dioxide and NOx gases, as well as water pollution.

In 2020, the sugar industry used goudsmit magnets

In recent months, the number of goudsmit magnets ordered by active customers in the sugar industry has increased. I asked my colleague Arthur Jonkman (Arthur Jonkman) about the reasons behind this. Arthur explained: "Until a few years ago, the European sugar market was protected. The EU artificially kept sugar prices high through import duties and production quotas. The market has recently been liberalized, and export restrictions have been lifted."
