Güdel to showcase linear motion tech for robots at FabTech

by

Adding linear motion to articulated robots is now a widely adopted solution to extend flexibility and work envelopes.

But these benefits only apply if the robot runs smoothly on a track that in many production environments will be exposed to dust, soot, abrasives and fine contaminants, which can cause the track’s roller bearings to stop rotating, leading to malfunction and robot downtime.

At FabTech booth W5029, Güdel will showcase its “cam follower advantage”. A cam follower is Güdel’s cylindrical roller bearing mounted on a stud that rides on the guide rail, providing significantly increased resilience to harsh industrial environments compared with traditional profile guides commonly used in 7th axis tracks.

Choosing Between an LLC and a Corporation Depends on Your Goals and Vision

by

Starting a robotics venture requires a lot of attention to detail when it comes to all the tech aspects, but let’s not forget about the entrepreneurial side of the equation that deserves just as much focus.

If you’re someone who likes flexibility and simplicity in structure, an LLC might be the way to go as it allows you to enjoy pass-through taxation while protecting your personal assets.

However, if you’re aiming for growth and looking to attract investors, a corporation could be your best bet since it opens the door to issuing stock and bringing in that crucial funding. [Read more…] about Choosing Between an LLC and a Corporation Depends on Your Goals and Vision
