  • Automatic conveyor belt realignment system

    Belt conveyors are essential elements of many industrial and manufacturing systems, but their efficiency and productivity can be significantly impacted by belt misalignment or deviation.

  • Agilox wins IFOY award for most innovative AMR solution

    The award recognizes the Agilox Omnidirectional Dolly Mover as the most innovative autonomous mobile robot (AMR) solution in 2023.

  • New in-plant vine remover machine for potato processors launched

    The new machine removes vines from potatoes as they come in from the field. Potato vines tend to get caught in receiving and transferring equipment, clogging it up and causing expensive downtime for processors.

  • New tech to "lend a hand" with nuclear operations

    The companies suggest that by incorporating the bionic hand into Atkins’ collaborative robotic solutions for the nuclear sector, humans will be removed from hazardous zones. Further, glovebox operations will reportedly be able to be performed over longer periods.

  • Video: Cobot automates fastening processes

    The turnkey robotic screwdriving assembly cell can be implemented on an existing line or as a portable workstation.

  • Supply chain problems for automakers beyond microchips

    In the wake of the semiconductor shortage, many countries have been pursuing investments in national semiconductor fabrication plants.

  • Comau unveils MI.RA/Picker, a fully automated perception-based random bin picking solution

    The system autonomously recognizes, locates and grasps randomly placed objects at a rate of up to 40 pieces per minute.

  • Comau is developing a fully automated system for sustainable battery recycling and second-life repurposing

    The robotic cell will facilitate the manipulation of low-charge batteries while minimizing risks to operators and equipment.

  • Sparks, splatter and pollutants: Is your robot protected?

    Robots in extreme environments need protection from the elements to reduce downtime and improve ROI. Robot covers are designed to protect that investment.

  • Drives for speed in intralogistics

    Competitive intralogistics requires extensive automation, something that is inconceivable without micromotors. Drive systems from FAULHABER prove their ability to perform here during sorting, transporting and with robotics solutions.

  • Solid air tech cools hydrogen transport costs

    Solid air can serve as a medium for recycling cold energy across the hydrogen liquefaction supply chain.

  • Beckhoff displays adaptive automation for manufacturing at Automate 2023

    Beckhoff will demo two emerging technologies designed to transform industrial automation: the new modular robot, ATRO, and the completely cabinetless MX-System.

  • NORD Drivesystems to display efficient, reliable airport drive solutions at AAAE 2023

    The latest airport technology includes the high efficiency IE5+ product portfolio and standardized LogiDrive complete drive solution.

  • Greening the port industry with ECOBatteryPack, the sustainable solution for rubber tired gantry cranes

    The battery-hybrid solution consists of a medium-sized lithium-ion battery system that drives all crane operations and a small size diesel genset that charges the battery.

  • Korea Association of Robot Industry helms Korea Pavilion at Automate 2023

    Nine Korean companies will feature their products in the Korea Pavilion during the May 22 through May 25 event in Detroit.

  • ABB to showcase next generation robotic technologies at Automate 2023

    ABB will preview two major innovations: two higher payload GoFa collaborative robot variants, and a completely new series of large robots.

  • An eco-friendly, semi-pressure sensitive labeling adhesive

    The new adhesive allows returned bottles to be washed in a caustic solution, separating them from their labels and the adhesive, before being returned to the market.

  • JR Automation to feature new turnkey and digital solutions at Automate 2023

    A new modular automation platform, collaborative robots and other automation solutions will be on display.

  • Forklift stability control system introduced by Hyster

    The system is standard on all H40-70A models in the recently launched Hyster A Series.

  • Seco moves toward a sustainable future by switching to recyclable packages

    Increased use of recycled plastic will improve sustainability by reducing carbon emissions and help Seco reach the goal of 90% circularity by 2030.
