6 Best Electric Car Charger Manufacturers

September 28, 2022 by Mai Tao Leave a Comment

It is not news anymore that electric cars are not just the future but are fast becoming the mainstay of the present transportation industry for many countries worldwide. But as it’s often the case with emerging technology, many companies that deal with supporting infrastructure are usually not prepared for the sharp increase in demand.

The electric car charging manufacturing industry is facing this challenge with new EV charger manufacturers springing up regularly. However, some of these manufacturers do not meet industry requirements of quality.

Still, top-rated China EV charger manufacturers have kept their commitment to high-quality standards. Here are the top 6 in this industry. [Read more…] about 6 Best Electric Car Charger Manufacturers

Kawasaki Robotics teams up with Realtime Robotics to develop robot motion planning

June 13, 2022 by Mai Tao Leave a Comment

Kawasaki Robotics, a manufacturer of industrial robots and automation systems, has teamed up Realtime Robotics, a developer of autonomous motion planning for industrial robots, to automate the programming, implementation and control of its industrial robots.

Realtime Robotics and Kawasaki have partnered on several projects, including helping a major automotive manufacturer improve the speed of programming by 70 percent.

This manufacturer reduced the pre-production engineering commissioning process through the use of automatic, collision-free motion planning technology; technology that in the future will enable the time-consuming physical validation of robot paths to be eliminated altogether.

Turkcell and Ericsson perform ‘first’ 5G autonomous mobile robot demo in Turkey

May 13, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Telecommunications companies Turkcell and Ericsson say they have successfully performed “the first” industrial use case demonstration of an autonomous mobile robot safe crossing in Turkey.

The demonstration was deployed in close collaboration with Ericsson’s Industry 4.0 partners, autonomous mobile robot manufacturer Milvus Robotics and a global manufacturer of sensors and sensor solutions for industrial applications at Turkcell Kartal Plaza/Captive Office.

Milvus Robotics has integrated an industrial modem with 5G SA connection technology into their own produced SEIT 1500 AMR. [Read more…] about Turkcell and Ericsson perform ‘first’ 5G autonomous mobile robot demo in Turkey

Applied Automation Technologies wins software contract with leading aircraft manufacturer

January 26, 2022 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Applied Automation Technologies has secured what it describes as “a major software contract” with a leading North American aircraft manufacturer.

The agreement involves the integration of AAT’s CAPPSNC software to directly interface with controllers on large CNC machines to provide dimensional metrology data for CMM reports, adaptive work offsets, and adaptive tool offsets for 3-5 axis closed-loop manufacturing.

Ray Karadayi, president and CEO of Applied Automation Technologies, says: “This CAPPSNC software is truly Factory 4.0 smart manufacturing technology because it is using metrology information throughout the manufacturing process for adaptive control.” [Read more…] about Applied Automation Technologies wins software contract with leading aircraft manufacturer

Door locking systems manufacturer turns to Delta for machine vision robotic solution

December 8, 2021 by Mai Tao Leave a Comment

Metal LS, a Bulgarian manufacturer of door locking systems, door and window handles and building hardware, started planning the new automated assembly of door locks in 2019.

The robotic systems that the company already used for other applications were too large for the planned production site, so the new solutions needed to be as compact and precise as possible, in addition to being state of the art.

Door and security locks are precision parts with standard dimensions and components stipulated in DIN standards. Therefore, quality and precision were especially important deciding factors for Metal LS. [Read more…] about Door locking systems manufacturer turns to Delta for machine vision robotic solution

IDS with above-average sales growth in the first half-year

The south German industrial camera manufacturer IDS Imaging Development Systems was able to exceed industry expectations in the first half of 2021.

Instead of the 7 percent increase in turnover forecast by the VDMA for the machine vision industry, the company has so far generated more than double this growth.

The camera manufacturer from Obersulm expects consistently high growth until the end of 2021. The positive order situation and the strong development of foreign business give the camera manufacturer every reason to do so, despite the challenging procurement situation.
