Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Orbital welding is a cutting-edge technology that has revolutionized the field of fusion TIG (Gas Tungsten Arc) welding.
Fusion TIG welding is a highly specialized process used in applications that demand the utmost precision, such as in aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and the semiconductor industry.
Orbital welding, which automates and enhances the TIG welding process, offers a host of benefits. [Read more…] about Orbital Welding: Why is it a Great Fit for Fusion Welds?
Orbital welding is a cutting-edge welding technique that offers numerous advantages across various industries, from aerospace to pharmaceuticals.
This automated welding process employs a mechanized system to rotate and move the welding electrode around a fixed workpiece, ensuring precision and consistency.
The benefits of orbital welding are multifaceted, contributing to improved efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness in welding operations. [Read more…] about Orbital Welding and its Advantages
Aerobotix and FerRobotics, two robotics companies based in the US and Austria respectively, have partnered to create what they say is the first Class II, Division 1 (C2D1) End of Arm Tool (EOAT) automated sander.
Meeting industry demand for a hazardous-environment solution that will achieve time and cost efficiencies, and enable much safer work environments, this special orbital sander – based on the industry-proven Active Orbital Kit (AOK) with patented Active Compliant Technology – lessens human involvement in hazardous tasks.
Each year, according to the International Labour Organization, tens of millions of workers globally are afflicted with silicosis, an incurable lung disease caused by crystalline silica dust inhalation, leading to thousands of deaths.

While the world eagerly awaits the launch of a spacecraft to the Moon, a robot quietly reaches yet another milestone in space. The newest robotic arm outside the International Space Station woke up, stretched and moved a payload effortlessly from one side to the other of the Nauka science module.
The European Robotic Arm (ERA) successfully completed the first transfer following commands from cosmonauts inside the Space Station last week. Teams in Moscow, Russia and at ESA’s control room in the Netherlands monitored the moves, where the image above was taken by the European team on console on 24 August.
This first motion involved unleashing the payload – a single pin latch and its adapter for the cosmonaut support tool – from Nauka, moving it to the other side of the module and then installing it back to the original position. [Read more…] about ESA marks first steps of new robot in space
ATI Industrial Automation has introduced the AOV-10 Axially-Compliant Orbital Sander, specifically designed for robotic surface preparation and finishing.
With built-in compliance, the AOV-10 is well-suited for many different robotic applications—even those that require a light touch.
A pneumatically-actuated compliance mechanism allows for dynamic control of contact forces and ensures an ideal result every time. [Read more…] about ATI Industrial Automation launches new orbital sander for robots
