New Robot Sales
Our company specializes in the sale of industrial and collaborative robots of all types, from the world’s leading brands, such as: ABB, Fanuc, KUKA, Yaskawa, Universal Robots, and more. The selected brands have been carefully chosen with consideration for long-term robot reliability, technical capabilities, operational flexibility, ease of maintenance, and more.
Typical robot applications include welding, painting, assembly, disassembly, printed circuit board work, packaging, palletizing, product inspection, and more.
Industrial Robot Applications
Industrial robots are robotic arms that can move in multiple directions and can be programmed to perform many different types of tasks in various environments. These industrial robots can work:
- In variable environments such as high-pressure chambers and vacuum chambers.
- In clean rooms and extremely dirty areas.
- In hazardous areas where there are threats of explosions, contamination, radiation, or other extreme hazards that are dangerous to humans.
Robotic arms can be equipped with specialized grippers for working with delicate and fragile objects, while other robotic arms can have grippers capable of grasping and lifting loads weighing several tons.
Typical robot applications include welding, painting, assembly, disassembly, printed circuit board work, packaging, palletizing, product inspection, and more.
Robotic arms can be equipped with any type of tool. These tools are used with precision, accuracy, speed, and repeatability that cannot be matched by humans. These robotic arms can have an abundance of sensors and vision systems capable of observing images to assist in their computer-based control. Sensor and vision feedback can be used with artificial intelligence to make decisions regarding the robotic arm’s behavior.
Industrial robots and automation are an essential part of the manufacturing of most products produced in today’s world.
Evolution of Robotics
The definition of an industrial robot system has evolved significantly in recent years. In order to determine what an industrial robot is, it is worthwhile to consider the changes from their origins to the present day. The first robots were precisely industrial robots that appeared as machines capable of performing certain repetitive and fairly static movements.
Today, as technology advances, it is more complex to distinguish between what is an industrial robot, what is a service robot, and how to delineate their work areas. In the World Robotics 2021 report, it was determined that the classification as an industrial robot or service robot is made according to their intended application. Industrial robots are robots “for use in industrial automation applications,” while a service robot “performs useful tasks for people or equipment, excluding industrial automation applications.”
The reality is that within industry there are scenarios where robots and humans need to share space and tasks, and therefore, industrial robots are no longer confined to a safety zone. Increasingly, we find service robots by definition working in industrial applications. In fact, in what is called Industry 4.0, collaborative robots play a key role. Today, we would not be talking about collaborative robotics without the early development of industrial robot systems and their journey toward intelligent automation solutions based on human interaction.
Industrial Robot Definition
An industrial robot is one that was developed to automate intensive manufacturing tasks such as those required by a continuously moving production line. As large and heavy robots, they are positioned at fixed stations within an industrial facility and all other worker tasks and processes revolve around them. The characteristics of industrial robots will vary according to manufacturers, needs, and the scenario in which they are to be positioned.
According to the international standard ISO 8373:2012, the definition of an industrial robot is “a multipurpose manipulator,” reprogrammable, automatically controlled, programmable in three or more axes that can be fixed in one area or mobile for use in industrial automation applications.
Industrial robots are not typically humanoid in form, although they are capable of replicating human movements and behaviors but with the strength, precision, and speed of a machine.
