ATI Industrial Automation introduces new robotic angle grinder

September 5, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

ATI Industrial Automation has introduced the CGV-900 Compliant Angle Grinder to provide an automated alternative to grinding and finishing by hand. The company says the tool brings “versatility to robotic grinding processes while reducing employee safety concerns”.

The CGV-900 offers built-in compliance, allowing the unit to compensate for irregularities in part surfaces and maintain contact with a workpiece.

The compliance force is adjustable, enabling users to fine-tune their finishing processes in real time. The CGV-900 also provides position sensing data to help indicate media wear. [Read more…] about ATI Industrial Automation introduces new robotic angle grinder

The Top Secret to Unblocking Geo-Blocked Sites – and Why it is the Trend

August 1, 2023 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

The internet has become an essential part of our daily lives, providing access to a vast array of information and entertainment. However, one of the challenges internet users often face is encountering geo-blocked sites.

Geo-blocking is a practice used by content providers and websites to restrict access to their content based on the user’s geographical location.

This limitation can be frustrating, especially when you want to access a particular website or streaming service that is not available in your country. [Read more…] about The Top Secret to Unblocking Geo-Blocked Sites – and Why it is the Trend

Aerobotix and FerRobotics to showcase new robotic taping kit at Automate 2023

May 16, 2023 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Aerobotix and FerRobotics, two robotics companies based in the US and Austria respectively, will exhibit their new Active Taping Kit (ATK) tool at the Automate Show in Detroit, Michigan, from May 22-25. This will be the first public demonstration of the ATK in North America.

Aerobotix and FerRobotics partnered on the ATK in response to aerospace industry demand for an automated tool for precision application of masking tape. Collaboration between engineers from the two companies led to the development of a revolutionary End of Arm Tooling (EOAT) after months of prototypes and testing.

FerRobotics’ patented Active Compliant Technology (ACT) enables a robot to use varying force when applying tape to an aircraft. The ATK allows for smooth masking on parts varying in shape, putting down perfectly straight tape lines where the customer needs them.   [Read more…] about Aerobotix and FerRobotics to showcase new robotic taping kit at Automate 2023

Factory Visit: Investment bankers tour client’s robot-filled machine shop

March 24, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Investment and automation specialists John Slater and Jorge Maceyras, of Focus Investment Banking, make a factory visit to a client of theirs, and find that robotics is integral to the operation.

Do you have any robots?

When we posed that somewhat naïve question to the CEO of an extreme high precision machine shop in 2014, we got the response we deserved.

“Look up on the landing.”

There, we saw a hulking industrial robot our client had acquired years before to satisfy his auto industry customer that had a factory full of such behemoths. The unwieldy, difficult to program, creature had no role in the high mix low volume shop and had long been consigned to serve as the firm’s robot museum.

Carbon Robotics adds LaserThinning capability to its LaserWeeder

February 13, 2023 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Carbon Robotics, an AI and robotics company specializing in agriculture, has introduced what it says is “the industry’s first LaserThinning capability”, continuing the “rapid innovation” of its LaserWeeder system.

LaserThinning targets areas where vegetable crops are purposefully overseeded and then thinned for optimal crop spacing, growth and yield. This is particularly valuable for farmers growing any direct seeded leafy green and cole crops – such as lettuce and broccoli.

By using lasers for thinning, the new solution does not require the use of any chemicals or manual hand labor, is unaffected by wind or moisture, and can be performed during the day or night. [Read more…] about Carbon Robotics adds LaserThinning capability to its LaserWeeder

Rope Robotics says its robotic wind turbine blade repairs pay off in six months

February 9, 2023 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

After over 18 months in operation, having repaired over 150 rain-damaged onshore wind turbine blades on three continents, the patented robot from Denmark’s Rope Robotics, the world leader in robotic blade maintenance, has demonstrated return on investment for turbine owners within just six months.

Compared to manual alternatives, the robot can repair the blade around four times faster at half the cost.

An increasing problem, rain erosion damage compromises aerodynamic performance of the blade and at worst can lead to blade failure and expensive turbine downtime. [Read more…] about Rope Robotics says its robotic wind turbine blade repairs pay off in six months

No-Code Automation Testing Guide

December 26, 2022 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Huge CRT monitors gave way to the thinnest LCDs; a landline is no longer needed to patch you through to a friend; and cars can move without human involvement. Everything is moving forward, and the field of software development is shifting gears as well.

According to Gartner, no-code tools will be used in the process of developing 70 percent of apps by 2025. No-code/low-code testing is also gaining momentum, and enterprises are widely adopting the new technology to keep testing fast and effective.

Take a DogQ No Code Automation Testing, for example. It’s an innovative app with a simple and intuitive interface that can be used by anyone who doesn’t possess extensive knowledge of testing. [Read more…] about No-Code Automation Testing Guide
