This allows applications to be configured intuitively by selecting <strong>ready-made function blocks</strong>. These are linked together in the editor, as with other mapp applications, allowing an executable robotics application to be created within a minutes.</p> <p>In-depth robotics know-how is thus not required. It takes only a few clicks to set up coordination with other <strong>motion axes</strong>, <strong>track systems</strong>, B&R <strong>machine vision components</strong> or web-based mapp View <strong>HMI applications</strong>. This eliminates much of the manual programming work and development time is shortened.<br /> Maximum freedom when designing processes</p> <p>The mapp Pick-and-Place software solution offers maximum freedom when designing processes.<strong> Any number of delta robots</strong> can be used. The number of <strong>conveyor belts</strong> for the infeed and outfeed is also freely configurable. As a special highlight, the software automatically <strong>optimizes the process for maximum pick rate</strong>.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en/faster-deployment-of-pick-and-place-robotics-applications-with-br_129691/">Faster deployment of pick and place robotics applications with B&R</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en">Meccanica Plus</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <enclosure url="https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/BR-applicazioni-pick-and-place-configurazione-robot-150x150.jpg" length="150" type="image/jpeg" /> </item> <item> <title>Additive multi laser process cell Prima Additive with Siemens</title> <link>https://meccanica-plus.it/en/additive-multi-laser-process-cell-prima-additive-with-siemens_128673/</link> <pubDate>Thu, 13 Jul 2023 06:44:35 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Marco Zambelli]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Technology]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DED]]></category> <category><![CDATA[digital services]]></category> <category><![CDATA[digital twin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[flexibility]]></category> <category><![CDATA[head change]]></category> <category><![CDATA[laser hardening]]></category> <category><![CDATA[laser processes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[laser sources]]></category> <category><![CDATA[machine tools]]></category> <category><![CDATA[metal powders]]></category> <category><![CDATA[programming]]></category> <category><![CDATA[robotic arms]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://meccanica-plus.it/en/?p=128673</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Prima Additive, a company of the Prima Industrie group dedicated to metal additive manufacturing technologies, showcased at the Siemens booth one of its solutions, the Prima Additive IANUS Cell, at the Automatica trade show in Munich, the reference event in Europe for intelligent automation and robotics.

The integration between the technologies of Siemens and those of Prima Additive is expressed in the development of the IANUS Cell and, in particular, through the <strong>integration of the robotic arm and the CNC</strong>, through the Sinumerik Run MyRobot / Direct Control functionality.</p> <p>Through this functionality, the user of the machine will be able to operate the robotic cell using a single control console and, above all, he will be able to carry out the movement and <strong>programming of the robot using typical instructions of a machine tool</strong>, thus exempting him from knowing an additional programming language specific for robots. In addition, thanks to the integration with Siemens systems, on which this platform is based, the IANUS Cell <strong>easily integrates with other machines already present in the company</strong>, taking advantage of digital solutions based on the <strong>MindSphere open ecosystem</strong>.</p> <p>At the Siemens booth at Automatica, the IANUS Cell was equipped with <strong>laser welding</strong>, one of the four processes that can be configured on it. This machine, which boasts a <strong>working volume of 1.600 x 1.200 x 700 mm</strong>, is characterized by the possibility of being <strong>configured for different laser processes</strong>. In addition to laser welding (proximity or remote), it is also possible to configure the machine for <strong>Direct Energy Deposition</strong> based on the use of powder or on the use of metal wire as starting material, but also other laser processes such as <strong>laser hardening</strong>. The fact that this robotic cell from Prima Additive is configured to perform a process outside the additive manufacturing spectrum testifies the desire of the Italian company to <strong>position itself on the wider market of advanced laser solutions</strong>, thanks to the expertise accumulated over the years.</p> <p><img class=" wp-image-128625 aligncenter" src="http://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Prima-Additive-cella-robotizzata-processi-laser-additivo-Siemens-digital-twin-300x173.jpg" alt="Prima Additive cella robotizzata processi laser additivo Siemens digital twin" width="525" height="303" srcset="https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Prima-Additive-cella-robotizzata-processi-laser-additivo-Siemens-digital-twin-300x173.jpg 300w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Prima-Additive-cella-robotizzata-processi-laser-additivo-Siemens-digital-twin-768x444.jpg 768w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Prima-Additive-cella-robotizzata-processi-laser-additivo-Siemens-digital-twin-90x52.jpg 90w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Prima-Additive-cella-robotizzata-processi-laser-additivo-Siemens-digital-twin-190x110.jpg 190w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Prima-Additive-cella-robotizzata-processi-laser-additivo-Siemens-digital-twin-200x116.jpg 200w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Prima-Additive-cella-robotizzata-processi-laser-additivo-Siemens-digital-twin.jpg 907w" sizes="(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px" /></p> <p>The name of this solution comes from the Latin god Ianus, an iconic divinity with two faces. Just as the god Ianus has two faces, the Prima Additive IANUS robotic cell <strong>can also be configured to perform two different processes in the same machine</strong>. Thanks to the possibility of installing two dedicated warehouses, it is possible to switch from one application to another simply by <strong>changing the head installed on the robotic arm</strong> inside the machine itself. The head change, therefore, becomes comparable to a tool change, increasing the overall flexibility of the system.</p> <p>In addition, the flexibility of the system is further enhanced by the <strong>possibility of installing different laser sources</strong>, with different wavelengths, within the same machine. Thus, it is possible, for example, to equip the system with an infrared laser and a blue laser to be able to use them within the same process in order to work any type of metal alloy more effectively, thus enabling advanced multi-material applications.</p> <p>In order to exploit the full potential of this solution, it is possible to use Create MyVirtual Machine, software made available by Siemens, able to <strong>generate a real digital twin of the system</strong>. This has proved to be extremely useful for facilitating the engineering work in the various stages of development and optimization of the machine, also allowing a considerable reduction in time to market.</p> <p><iframe width="620" height="349" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RpWHKDKPFxw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen title="Introducing Prima Additive IANUS - Multiprocess Laser Robotic Cell - DED Additive Welding Hardening"></iframe></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en/additive-multi-laser-process-cell-prima-additive-with-siemens_128673/">Additive multi laser process cell Prima Additive with Siemens</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en">Meccanica Plus</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <enclosure url="https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Prima-Additive-cella-robotizzata-processi-laser-additivo-Siemens-150x150.jpg" length="150" type="image/jpeg" /> </item> <item> <title>New European headquarters in Hattersheim for Yaskawa</title> <link>https://meccanica-plus.it/en/new-european-headquarters-in-hattersheim-for-yaskawa_127734/</link> <pubDate>Thu, 18 May 2023 06:41:15 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Marco Zambelli]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Economy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[new headquarters]]></category> <category><![CDATA[programming]]></category> <category><![CDATA[robots]]></category> <category><![CDATA[workshops]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Yaskawa Electric]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://meccanica-plus.it/en/?p=127734</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Yaskawa Europe, the European subsidiary of the Japanese technology group Yaskawa Electric, has officially moved into its new corporate headquarters in Hattersheim near Frankfurt/Main.

The company cites highly successful long-term experience of the software, together with excellent technical support from NUM, as the key reasons for choosing to standardize on Numroto.</p> <p>Founded by <strong>Torben Nielsen</strong> in 1987 – which coincidentally is the same year that Numroto was launched – TN Værktøjsslibning has grown steadily to become a leading player in the <strong>manufacture of special solid carbide tools</strong>, with an enviable reputation for the quality and precision of its products. Operating from a modern 2.000 m2 industrial facility in Bjaeverskov, some 50 km southwest of Copenhagen, the company serves the world market and currently exports about 70% of its production.</p> <p>One of TN Værktøjsslibning’s prime business advantages is that it <strong>handles every aspect of manufacturing</strong> and can therefore track the movement of individual tools from initial order through to delivery. The company maintains a large stock of high quality <strong>‘subnanograin carbide’ materials</strong> in the form of rods with internal cooling channels and solid bars, ranging in diameter from 2 to 70 mm. Using multiple <strong>advanced CNC grinding machines</strong>, TN Værktøjsslibning produces a comprehensive range of standard ‘TN’ brand high-speed end mills, step drills and form cutters, the design and dimensions of which can be tailored to meet customers’ needs for ‘exactly the right tool for the job’. The manufacturer also operates advanced in-house <strong>tool polishing and coating technology</strong>. Tools can optionally be coated both before and after polishing, to extend their service life and to help <strong>optimize chip evacuation</strong>. The company additionally offers <strong>tool regrind and recoat services</strong>. Provided that a tool is physically undamaged, it can often be returned to full service after regrinding and possibly recoating, for less than 50% of the cost of a new tool.</p> <p><img class=" wp-image-126589 aligncenter" src="http://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-controllo-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning-300x131.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="227" srcset="https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-controllo-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning-300x131.jpg 300w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-controllo-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning-768x336.jpg 768w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-controllo-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning-90x39.jpg 90w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-controllo-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning-190x83.jpg 190w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-controllo-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning-200x88.jpg 200w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-controllo-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning.jpg 907w" sizes="(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px" /></p> <p>Every aspect of tool manufacturing at TN Værktøjsslibning is <strong>extensively automated</strong>. The main production hall is equipped with <strong>fifteen 5-axis CNC grinding centers</strong>, complemented by <strong>cylindrical grinding machines</strong>. All of these machines are controlled by Numroto software and are networked together to help simplify production management and software maintenance. Each machine has a dedicated programming station, enabling part programs to be created while grinding is taking place, and the company is also in the process of expanding its <strong>multi-user programming facility</strong>, which currently has capacity for seven users. An interesting facet of TN Værktøjsslibning’s operational structure, which is quite possibly a factor behind the company’s consistent year-on-year success, is that it deliberately has a flat hierarchy – there is no design department. Each CNC machine operator is responsible for programming, grinding the tools and fully documenting the process.</p> <p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-126590" src="http://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-Numroto-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning-279x300.jpg" alt="NUM software Numroto utensili di precisione TN Værktøjsslibning" width="279" height="300" srcset="https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-Numroto-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning-279x300.jpg 279w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-Numroto-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning-768x825.jpg 768w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-Numroto-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning-90x97.jpg 90w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-Numroto-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning-300x322.jpg 300w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-Numroto-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning-126x135.jpg 126w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-Numroto-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning-200x215.jpg 200w, https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-Numroto-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning.jpg 844w" sizes="(max-width: 279px) 100vw, 279px" />Torben Nielsen, who is still at the helm of the company nowadays as TN Værktøjsslibning’s CEO as well as its owner, said: “We try to make <strong>work as interesting and satisfying as possible for people</strong>, and over the years we have built up a dynamic team of highly qualified and committed employees. Another important point is that by <strong>standardizing on Numroto for the bulk of our CNC machining</strong> operations, we benefit immensely from our employees sharing a common pool of expertise and knowledge about state-of-the-art tool production technologies and processes. Many of our more specialist tools are only required in <strong>small batch sizes</strong> – sometimes just 2 or 3 – and yet we aim to supply these to customers within the same 9-day timeframe as our standard tools. To help meet this goal, our operators need fast, simple and unambiguous machine control facilities – which in turn demand very <strong>flexible, accurate and reliable software</strong>, with a modern user interface”.</p> <p>TN Værktøjsslibning regularly enhances its machining capabilities to meet the changing tool needs of its customers. The company first <strong>started using Numroto software back in 2002</strong>, when it purchased two <strong>Deckel</strong> S20 CNC grinding machines, which have since been followed by a further ten Deckel S22 machines. The company’s current complement of Numroto-controlled CNC grinding machines comprises the <strong>twelve Deckel machines</strong>, plus a <strong>UWS</strong> SF40 cylindrical grinder and two <strong>Vollmer</strong> VGrind 340S machines. The <strong>programming and machining of special tools</strong>, which constitute the majority of TN Værktøjsslibning’s production output, is usually carried out during the day by skilled operators. Larger standard tools are processed at nighttime, using <strong>robotic part loaders and unmanned machining centers</strong>, but with a high degree of feedback such as in-process measurement and run-out compensation to ensure consistent product quality.</p> <p>All tools produced by TN Værktøjsslibning undergo thorough inspection prior to shipment. The company’s <strong>quality assurance facilities</strong> include an air-conditioned, positively pressurized measuring room, equipped with a 5-axis CNC measuring machine and other precision optical measuring equipment. “Our experience with Numroto has been fantastic – said at last Nielsen -. The software is perfect for <strong>grinding both simple and highly complex tools</strong> and is extremely reliable. It is very easy to work with and the <strong>simulation is very precise</strong>. In a period of just over 21 years, there have been very few tools that we have been unable to create. Due to our very short delivery times, we rely on good support – and this has always been forthcoming from NUM”.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en/precision-tool-grinding-with-num-programming-software-for-tn-vaerktojsslibning_126644/">Precision tool grinding with NUM programming software for TN Værktøjsslibning</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en">Meccanica Plus</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <enclosure url="https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/NUM-software-produzione-utensili-di-precisione-TN-Værktøjsslibning-150x150.jpg" length="150" type="image/jpeg" /> </item> <item> <title>Integration between robotics and PLCs with Comau and Siemens</title> <link>https://meccanica-plus.it/en/integration-between-robotics-and-plcs-with-comau-and-siemens_124434/</link> <pubDate>Thu, 10 Nov 2022 07:45:08 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Marco Zambelli]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Technology]]></category> <category><![CDATA[artificial intelligence]]></category> <category><![CDATA[digital twin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[end-of-line processes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[industrial communication]]></category> <category><![CDATA[inspection]]></category> <category><![CDATA[integration]]></category> <category><![CDATA[logistics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[palletizing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pharmaceuticals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Profinet Consortium]]></category> <category><![CDATA[programming]]></category> <category><![CDATA[protocols]]></category> <category><![CDATA[robot controller]]></category> <category><![CDATA[robot handling]]></category> <category><![CDATA[robots]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Standard Robot Command Interface]]></category> <category><![CDATA[virtual programming]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://meccanica-plus.it/en/?p=124434</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>At the event ‘The Integration of robotics and artificial intelligence in the PLC’ held last October 19, Comau and Siemens presented several application cases to demonstrate the concrete ability of Siemens PLCs to communicate at an industrial level with Comau robot controllers.

The event was held at the <strong><a href="https://www.made-cc.eu/?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">MADE – Competence Center Industry 4.0</a></strong> in <strong>Milan</strong>, created to support and accompany Italian manufacturing companies on the path of technological innovation and digital transformation.</p> <p>Thanks to the Simatic Robot Library, which is available for PLCs or the Siemens Programmable Logic Controller S7-1500, and through the ‘Comau Next Generation Programming Platform’, an innovative platform found in Comau robot controllers, it is indeed possible to establish a connection based on the <strong>Profinet ‘Standard Robot Command Interface</strong>‘, a protocol that increasingly facilitates and improves the integration of Comau robots with Siemens programming and control systems.</p> <p>During the event, the benefits of the seamless integration were highlighted, both for OEMs and final customers. The use of <strong>artificial intelligence algorithms to optimize robot handling, grasping and inspection processes</strong> was also demonstrated. Finally, robotic solutions that, due to the Standard Robot Command Interface, can enhance industrial applications in <strong>fast-developing sectors</strong> where the use of automation is growing significantly, such as <strong>food, beverage and pharmaceuticals</strong>, were also shown. The benefits, therefore, are many. By creating a <strong>single programming environment</strong>, this solution simplifies the management of automation on multiple levels; from the handling of a single robotic arm, to the integration between robot and automatic machine, to the automation of an entire work line. As a result, companies can save costs and operational time, increasing their efficiency and productivity.</p> <p>More generally, the use of the Simatic Robot Library together with the Comau Next Generation Programming Platform helps <strong>reduce the difficulty of deploying automation solutions</strong> in companies that already use a Siemens PLC and want to introduce Comau robots into their lines without investing in complex technology or having to face a challenging learning curve.<br /> Finally, thanks to three levels of simulation, event attendees were able to appreciate the <strong>digital twin of the Comau robot</strong> in a free space as well as the one inside the workstation. The audience also witnessed the use of Process Simulate software to <strong>simulate the robotic arm inside the entire production line</strong>.</p> <p>“We are pleased that the MADE 4.0 Competence Center, a point of reference for industrial innovation for Italian manufacturing companies, has hosted the presentation of the new solution developed by Comau and Siemens to increasingly simplify and speed up the communication between Comau robots and Siemens programming systems – explained <strong>Duilio Amico</strong>, head of sales EMEA robotics at Comau -. A joint technology that is useful in multiple industries, including high-growth sectors such as Food & Beverage and Pharma, where the use of a <strong>high degree of automation is now strategic in order to lower working time and costs</strong>“.</p> <p>“The event held at MADE – Competence Center Industry 4.0 in Milan is a meeting aimed at showing in concrete terms how industrial robots can be integrated into our controllers – said <strong>Cristian Sartori</strong>, product management head of advanced automation at Siemens -. Thanks to the ‘Standard Robot Command Interface’, our <strong>PLCs speak the same language as the robots</strong>, thus offering greater speed and flexibility in design. This technological breakthrough is also an enabler for integration into applications in different technology areas such as <strong>robotics and artificial intelligence</strong>“.</p> <p>“The presentation of Comau and Siemens solutions is part of those activities that at the MADE Competence Center we call <strong>Demo Experiences</strong> – commented <strong>Davide Polotto</strong>, business relations manager at MADE Competence Center -. They are moments in which our partners benefit from the infrastructure and technologies present in the Center to <strong>show a selected audience of companies how innovative applications work</strong>. Moments like these best represent the synergies that we are able to create as a Competence Center between our partners and companies in the market, expanding the number of solutions we are able to offer to those who turn to us”.</p> <p>The<strong> Standard Robot Command Interface</strong> is a <strong>Profinet Consortium protocol</strong> for industrial communication that enables companies to:</p> <ul> <li>reduce the degree of complexity in application design</li> <li>use automation and PLC language skills</li> <li>create a universal program for both the machine and the industrial arm</li> </ul> <p>The interface also offers tangible <strong>cost and time savings</strong>, since all automation products and <strong>cells can be managed without specific skills in robotic programming</strong>. The proposed solution is totally flexible. In addition to the simplicity of application design or reconversion, it also helps the end user, who can operate and maintain a modular and adaptable system from a <strong>single HMI interface for both the machine and the robot</strong>.</p> <p>Working with a major automotive customer, Comau has verified a <strong>reduction in configuration and programming costs</strong> when using kinematics resolution in the robot controller, and leveraging the single programming interface for both the PLC and robot. In addition to automotive, applications include all <strong>end-of-line processes</strong>, <strong>pick and place</strong>, <strong>handling</strong> of boxing and <strong>palletizing operations</strong>, <strong>logistics</strong>, and more. Another major benefit is the ability to virtually program Comau robots with the Siemens virtual PLC controller in a single operation. This allows end users and system integrators to refine the programming sequence, download the program on site, and immediately start operating the robot.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en/integration-between-robotics-and-plcs-with-comau-and-siemens_124434/">Integration between robotics and PLCs with Comau and Siemens</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en">Meccanica Plus</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <enclosure url="https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/11/Comau-Siemens-integrazione-PLC-controller-robot-automazione-AI-150x150.jpg" length="150" type="image/jpeg" /> </item> <item> <title>Cobots Omron assist expert welders in Guidetti Technology</title> <link>https://meccanica-plus.it/en/cobots-omron-assists-expert-welders-in-guidetti-technology_121268/</link> <pubDate>Thu, 21 Apr 2022 06:45:40 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Marco Zambelli]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Technology]]></category> <category><![CDATA[certifications]]></category> <category><![CDATA[collaborative robots]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EasyArc]]></category> <category><![CDATA[metal carpentry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[programming]]></category> <category><![CDATA[remote assistance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[skills]]></category> <category><![CDATA[track data]]></category> <category><![CDATA[trained welders]]></category> <category><![CDATA[welders]]></category> <category><![CDATA[welding]]></category> <category><![CDATA[welding systems]]></category> <category><![CDATA[work cycle analysis]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://meccanica-plus.it/en/?p=121268</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Guidetti Technology SRL has integrated Omron collaborative robots (cobots) into its ‘EasyArc’ welding solution.

This is used in collaborative applications on small batches of various types of metal carpentry.</p> <p>Based in Modena, Italy, Guidetti has 50 years of experience in the sale, installation and servicing of <strong>welding systems</strong>. The cobot is being used to <strong>streamline repetitive welding processes</strong>. It is combined with Omron’s intuitive NB7 operator panel and NXP2 PLC, along with <strong>Fronius</strong>‘ state-of-the-art modular welding technology. The solution can be used for a <strong>wide range of welding processes</strong>, including MIG Short / Spray, Pulsed, LSC, PMC, STEEL, the innovative Cold Metal Transfer (CMT), TIG, and Plasma (with and without filler material). A complete interface integrates the management of all of the processes with the cobot controller. The aim is to help expert welders with repetitive work, without <strong>any special programming skills being needed</strong>. This frees them up to spend their time and energy on more difficult and demanding work.</p> <p>The welder can <strong>manually set a sequence of points for the trajectory</strong> to be executed and refine this with minimal instructions on the programming panel. This all ensures that Guidetti’s solutions based on cobots can be implemented in production very quickly (for example, to <strong>cope with sudden increases in production</strong> or a temporary <strong>shortage of trained welders</strong>). Operator safety is ensured due to the system’s safety features, which include reducing the speed and sensitivity of the axes so that they stop automatically in the event of an accidental impact.</p> <p>The <strong>compact size</strong> and <strong>simplicity of reprogramming</strong> make it easy to move the cobot solution to different production areas within a plant. Integration within an Industry 4.0 system <strong>enables the solution to track data</strong>, particularly relating to certification, <strong>work cycle analysis</strong>, management interfaces and <strong>remote assistance</strong>. In summary, the EasyArc collaborative welding solution ensures steady production with a high level of quality for a low investment.</p> <p><iframe width="620" height="349" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WKzqorqh9Xo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en/cobots-omron-assists-expert-welders-in-guidetti-technology_121268/">Cobots Omron assist expert welders in Guidetti Technology</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en">Meccanica Plus</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <enclosure url="https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/04/Omron-saldatura-Guidetti-150x150.jpg" length="150" type="image/jpeg" /> </item> <item> <title>Seventh axis Rollon on cobots by Universal Robots</title> <link>https://meccanica-plus.it/en/seventh-axis-rollon-on-cobots-by-universal-robots_111343/</link> <pubDate>Mon, 27 Jul 2020 06:56:04 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Marco Zambelli]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Technology]]></category> <category><![CDATA[anodized aluminum profiles]]></category> <category><![CDATA[assembly]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ball recirculating linear guides]]></category> <category><![CDATA[belt drive]]></category> <category><![CDATA[collaborative robots]]></category> <category><![CDATA[machine feeding]]></category> <category><![CDATA[modularity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[palletizing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[programming]]></category> <category><![CDATA[seventh axis]]></category> <category><![CDATA[stiffness]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://meccanica-plus.it/en/?p=111343</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>The Italian Group Rollon, specialized in solutions for linear motion, has developed Seventh Axis, a solution capable of extending the range of action of the collaborative robots produced by Universal Robots.

The solution is <strong>easy to install</strong> and can be <strong>programmed using a Universal Robots tablet</strong>.</p> <p>The frame is made up of <strong>anodized aluminum profiles</strong> that offer considerable benefits in terms of weight, transportability and modularity, while maintaining a high degree of stiffness. These are characteristics that the research and development team of Rollon has enhanced by developing a solution capable of operating in <strong>vertical and horizontal applications</strong>.</p> <p>The Seventh Axis, fitted with <strong>ball recirculating linear guides and belt drive</strong>, enables the robots of Universal Robots to move at a <strong>speed of 1 m/s</strong> with an acceleration of 1.2 m/s and a repeatability of ± 0.05 mm. There are various applications, from industrial <strong>machine feeding</strong> to <strong>assembly</strong>, <strong>pick and place</strong> and <strong>palletizing</strong> in which an axis can make all the difference, increasing the range of action of UR cobots.</p> <p> </p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en/seventh-axis-rollon-on-cobots-by-universal-robots_111343/">Seventh axis Rollon on cobots by Universal Robots</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en">Meccanica Plus</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <enclosure url="https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2019/03/Rollon-settimo-asse-cobot-UR-150x150.jpg" length="150" type="image/jpeg" /> </item> <item> <title>Digital machining solutions with Okuma and Sandvik Coromant</title> <link>https://meccanica-plus.it/en/digital-machining-solutions-with-okuma-and-sandvik-coromant_107808/</link> <pubDate>Mon, 04 Nov 2019 07:46:25 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Marco Zambelli]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Technology]]></category> <category><![CDATA[CNC controls]]></category> <category><![CDATA[connected machines]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cutting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[data collection]]></category> <category><![CDATA[machine tools]]></category> <category><![CDATA[machining]]></category> <category><![CDATA[monitoring]]></category> <category><![CDATA[multitasking machine]]></category> <category><![CDATA[predictive maintenance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[process data]]></category> <category><![CDATA[programming]]></category> <category><![CDATA[setup times]]></category> <category><![CDATA[shared database]]></category> <category><![CDATA[simulation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[turning]]></category> <category><![CDATA[vibrations]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://meccanica-plus.it/en/?p=107808</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Okuma and Sandvik Coromant presented together, in an event held last July 9th at Okuma Technical Centre South in Langenau, a range of digital manufacturing solutions for the machine tools sector.
