ARE installs batteries in demolition robots for cable-free movement

July 3, 2024 by David Edwards

Briggs & Stratton, an American multinational which produces engines, says it is breaking new ground in the robotics field, as it works with Advanced Robotic Engineering (ARE) to power their range of mobile industrial demolition robots with the Vanguard 48V Si1.5kWh swappable and 48V Fi3.5kWh fixed battery packs. Vanguard is part of the Briggs & Stratton group.

For many years, onsite workers have struggled with needing their demolition machines to be cable powered when moving from one site to another. While one operator controlled the machine, another assisted on navigating the cable.

As a consequence, moving machines was not only complicated and time consuming, but also required the involvement of several people at the job site. A disaster in an industry where uptime is everything and the reduction of total cost of ownership crucial. [Read more…] about ARE installs batteries in demolition robots for cable-free movement

Fanuc launches new ‘extremely compact’ robot

August 14, 2020 by David Edwards

Fanuc has launched a new “extremely compact” robot which it claims has the “best precision in its class”.

The new M-10iD/16S robot is the most compact model of the M-10iD series, says Fanuc, adding that it combines the best features of its two predecessors, M-10iA/10MS and M-10iA/12S.

The M-10iD/16S features high axes speed and best precision in its class. Made specifically for compact work spaces, this highly versatile robot can also be used for top mount applications. [Read more…] about Fanuc launches new ‘extremely compact’ robot

New Scale Robotics launches ‘first multi-tool mount system’ for smallest collaborative robots

July 22, 2019 by David Edwards

New Scale Robotics has launched what it says is “the first multi-tool mounting system for the smallest collaborative robots”.

The new NSR-MTM-3-URe Multi-Tool Mount (NSR-MTM) System allows users to mount and control up to three grippers or other tools on one Universal Robots (UR) e-Series cobot. [Read more…] about New Scale Robotics launches ‘first multi-tool mount system’ for smallest collaborative robots

Earth-digging robot could make laying underground cables much easier and cheaper

July 23, 2017 by Sam Francis

mit roboclam digging robot

A robot developed by the MIT university could help bring down the enormous costs of laying underground and undersea cables. 

The machine is being called RoboClam – because it was based on how clams behave – is a relatively small device and it’s been called “the Ferrari of underwater diggers” because it’s particularly good at digging through soft, watery soil, or sand.

It was developed by MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, along with Bluefin Robotics, and the team was led by Anete Hosoi.  [Read more…] about Earth-digging robot could make laying underground cables much easier and cheaper

Igus has added to its chainflex range with the introduction of chainflex servo cable families developed specifically for machine tool applications.

Machine builders are offered the option of selecting the most cost-effective cable, guaranteed to work reliably based on the required profile of the bend radius, travel distance and speed.

Chainflex cables from the CF27.D series feature a minimum bend radius of only 7.5 times the cable diameter; this makes them particularly well suited for use in tight installation spaces and highly dynamic applications, for example in gantries.  [Read more…] about Igus augments chainflex servo cable offering for machine tool applications

Motion plastics specialist says new energy chain allows for easy assembly and cable routing

Igus has launched triflex TRLF.125, extending the TRLF family to include its largest 125mm nominal diameter e-chain, in addition to existing 65, 87.5 and 100mm internal diameter sizes.

These TRLF energy chains are ideally suited for robotics and other applications that require electrical power cables, data cables and hoses to remain secure and protected during multi-axis movement.

The company – which likes its name written as igus, with a small i – that with this new 125mm size, even stiff or large hoses, or indeed large numbers of individual cables, can be inserted quickly and easily, reducing labour costs and assembly time.   [Read more…] about Igus introduces its largest energy chain for light robotic applications
