Vecow Introduces ECS-4700 Marine-grade Rugged Compact System

Featuring 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i7/i5 Processor, the EN60945 ECS-4700 is well suited for AI applications in demanding environments such as Marine, Machine Vision, Mobile NVR, and various Edge AI applications.

Labforge designs eBUS Edge into high resolution smart cameras for industrial automation and robotics applications, to be demoed at Automate 2024

If you’ve been using the same T-slot aluminum framing systems for decades you probably (and justifiably) think they come with application limitations and some undesirable characteristics. However, if you haven’t looked at AngleLock technology, your assumptions are entirely wrong.

Featuring 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 Processor, the ABP-4000 is low power consumption and features an ultra-slim design, making it well suited for AI applications in space-saving environments such as Machine Vision, AMR, Digital Signage, Kiosk, and other Edge AI applications.

Dorner is set to unveil its latest innovations in assembly technology at Automate 2024 in Chicago alongside their partner company montratec. With a focus on enhancing efficiency and reliability in production environments, both Dorner and montratec will present a lineup of demo conveyors designed to meet the diverse needs of various industries.

Designed for human-collaborative (HC) interaction, the highly flexible ArcWorld HC is a complete robotic welding solution for the fabrication of small- to medium-size parts. Ideal for replacing or supplementing manual weld processes, such as pre-assembly before welding in larger robotic workcells, this pre-engineered mobile cart system is well-suited for high-mix, low-volume production.

Featuring a space-saving design with single or dual workstation configurations, the ArcWorld LC (Lite Cell) robotic welding system is ideal for fabricators with lighter volume requirements for small- to medium-part welding. Providing efficiency and consistent weld quality, the AW-LC is fast and simple to install or relocate.

Highly flexible, robust robotic automation provides fast, accurate parcel induction and singulation in dynamic, order fulfillment settings. Easily integrated with a wide range of traditional sortation and packaging applications, customized robotic solutions can facilitate fluid piece picking and placing of items onto conveyors for rapid material handling of boxes, polybags and padded envelopes of varying sizes.

Featuring multiple improvements and optimization, Yaskawa’s Smart Pendant software version 3.0 extends capability for the highly intuitive and easy-to-use Smart Pendant. Building on prior software updates, the highly efficient Smart Pendant v3.0 adds basic arc welding support to the proven tablet-style pendant that allows quick robotic implementation of basic assembly, injection molding, inspection, machine tending, material handling, and pick and place tasks.

Featuring a robust 30 kg payload and 1,700 mm maximum reach, the easy-to-use six-axis HC30PL human-collaborative robot facilitates safe and efficient fenceless palletizing, and can also be deployed in select handling, packaging and logistical applications of demanding production environments.

Highly reliable, the six-axis HC10DTP and HC20DTP collaborative robots enrich easy capability for Yaskawa’s HC-series line. Hand-guided programming allows users to direct teach points without a pendant, and an ISO standard tool flange and electrical connections facilitate a plug and play approach for easy deployment of the robot system.

The versatile, extended reach GP8L robot offers extremely fast performance in a compact footprint, maximizing floorspace utilization for greater production efficiency. Ideal for logistics processes, this six-axis robot is well-suited for high-speed bin picking, induction and packaging tasks. Applications for assembly, dispensing, material handling and machine tending are also expertly supported.

Specifically designed to add robotic welding capacity to current production, the six-axis HC10 and HC20 human-collaborative robots enable operation with, or in close proximity to human workers. Ideal for supplementing manual welding or for rolling up to large, heavy workpieces with its 1,379 mm reach, the 10-kg payload HC10 can be easily repurposed depending on production needs. The HC20 model offers even greater reach at 1,900 mm and an increased payload of 20 kg.

Ideal for high-speed assembly and handling applications, the GP7, GP8 and GP12 robots are fast, compact and efficient. Each of these six-axis robots offer the highest payload, fastest speed and highest wrist allowable moment in its class.

Designed specifically for arc welding applications, the AR-series six-axis robots offer optimized acceleration/deceleration control for all robot axes, resulting in overall improved productivity. These high-performance robots are available with 8 to 25 kg payload capacity in order to support a wide variety of sensors and torches for welding application flexibility. The AR-series robots offer the highest payload, fastest speed and highest wrist allowable moment in their class.

Universal Weldcom Interface (UWI), an easy-to-use pendant application, enables full utilization of the advanced capabilities on select Fronius, Miller®, Lincoln Electric®, SKS and OTC digital welding power supplies. UWI enables easy control of any weld process or parameter, including voltage, amperage and wire feed speed through a common user interface for either brand.

Expanding Smart Pendant capability, the easy-to-use Pallet Builder™ extension enables quick development and deployment of palletizing cells. Designed for single pick and place tasks, this intuitive user interface utilizes a robust database and guided prompts to facilitate no-code programming for workcell configuration and pallet pattern setup.

A member and strong supporter of the ARM (Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing) Institute since its formation in 2017, Yaskawa America Inc., Motoman Robotics Division (Yaskawa Motoman) is pleased to announce two company employees as recipients of the ARM Champion Award. Receiving the awards over a two-year consecutive period are Clint Chapman, Sr. Manager of Strategic Partner Relations, and Roger Christian, Division Leader for New Business Development.
