Corindus instrument used in ‘world’s first’ remote-control robotic heart surgery

September 19, 2019 by David Edwards

A surgical instrument developed by Corindus has been used in what is claimed to be the first remote-controlled heart operation using a robot.

Corindus published its “Telerobotic Intervention Study” in The Lancet, saying it is “the world’s first percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures conducted from a remote location outside the catheterization lab using Corindus’ CorPath technology platform”.

The paper Corindus published, titled Long Distance Telerobotic-Assisted Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: First-in-Human Experience, discusses five successful patient cases performed by internationally acclaimed physician Dr Tejas Patel, chairman and chief interventional cardiologist of the Apex Heart Institute in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.

Logistics trade event CeMAT Asia expecting ‘well over 100,000 attendees’

August 21, 2019 by Mai Tao

Deutsche Messe, organiser of the annual logistics trade event CeMAT Asia, says it is expecting well over 100,000 attendees this year.

The show is already regarded as Asia’s biggest intralogistics fair, and this year looks set to expand its lead, partly through co-location with Apex Asia as well as the launch of new showcase, Hydrogen & Fuel Cells Asia.

The 20th edition of CeMAT Asia will be staged at the Shanghai New International Expo Center, with a record number of exhibitors – more than 700 – presenting their products and solutions for sustainable and automated logistics systems.

Universal and Apex set to launch collaborative robot-assisted palletising

January 24, 2018 by Anna

Universal Robots and Apex Motion Control will launch the Zero Footprint Palletizer (ZFP) at the ATX West show in Anaheim, California, USA, this February. Collaborative robots – or cobots – can now automate some of the most common manufacturing tasks in the industry.

The ZFP is for mid-rate production at a maximum load of 18 lbs. The system can be deployed throughout a facility and fits right into existing packaging lines without modification, replacing manual palletizing operations in minutes.

Universal Robots’ UR10 cobot has been integrated with the ZFP, combining the full functionality of the robot with a vertical 7th axis swing system with the ability to stack on each side, supporting North American pallet sizing.

Apex Automation and Robotics uses 3D vision to inspect food jars

May 12, 2016 by David Edwards

apex 3D Vision

Apex Automation and Robotics has introduced 3D vision systems to inspect food jars on production lines

A popped lid in a food jar is a serious problem. It indicates that the seal is broken and vacuum inside the jar was breached and can result in spoilage of the product. It is therefore crucial to detect these jars before they leave production and make their way to the supermarket shelf.

Inspecting the lid on every jar by an operator is not very reliable since it is not always easy to distinguish between a popped lid and a good one especially when the production rate is high. [Read more…] about Apex Automation and Robotics uses 3D vision to inspect food jars
