Offline Robot Programming Software News Today

Formic’s risk-free, affordable, full-service pay-by-the-hour rental model removes traditional barriers to automation, helping small and mid-sized manufacturers

Today’s integrated power modules are addressing the demanding size, weight, power budgets and cost efficiencies required to move robots from factory, residential and commercial applications into a vast new landscape bounded only by the imagination.

The traditional portfolio mix of heavy hardware-orientation with associated software is transitioning to application and non-control software. The move to solutions combining hardware, software, and services is real.

With demand for semiconductor chips continuing to surge, fabricators are seeking ways to improve operational efficiency and increase output. To achieve these goals, KUKA Robotics will spotlight, during the Semicon West show, July 12-14, a mobile robotic solution developed in partnership with the worlds largest semiconductor fabricators that reliably transfers materials in areas unsuitable for traditional automated material handling systems.

Indiana Gateway Digital Academy (INGDA), a full-time, tuition-free online program of Clarksville Community School Corporation is announcing a new Automation & Robotics pathway for students in grades 9-10 starting this fall.

Rexroth North America’s MP1000R is a new 1000 kg payload capacity autonomous mobile robot (AMR) that can automate material handling applications without additional external infrastructure.

The next generation of robotic systems require high performance inertial sensors but also demand high volume, low cost solutions.

Highly versatile, the six-axis GA50 robot is well-suited for laser welding, laser cutting plasma cutting and dispensing tasks. Featuring fast access speeds and acceleration capabilities, this robot can reduce cycle time and increase production throughput.

In the world of robotics, Offline Programming (OLP) has come a long way in a short time, and the global pandemic has jumpstarted more innovation. Industrial robots have evolved to collaborative robots (“cobots”) that work side by side with their human counterparts.
