Gern Glas - Denmark’s largest manufacturer of sheet glass and mirrors – is adopting automation to give itself a competitive edge on pricing and to protect its volume business in both home and export markets. One of the company’s recent purchases, a Universal Robot, is certainly proving to be a shrewd investment. “This is a completely different kind of industrial robot which is inexpensive, mobile, easy to use and flexible,” explained ...

Bringing efficient machining processes back in-house at diesel engine manufacturer Perkins has been helped by close partnerships with FANUC Robotics (UK) and Heller Machine Tools. Support and collaboration from OEM suppliers is seen by Perkins as a fundamental to success.

Visitors to this year’s EuroBlech sheet metal working exhibition, in Hannover, will see the world’s largest and strongest industrial robot capable of handling a 1,200Kg payload. The new FANUC Robotics M-2000iA heavy-duty robot sets new levels for all round capability in the heavy-duty six axes robot sector.

Marshall Vehicle Engineering has illustrated just how effective welding robots can be with its first implementation of robots in a production environment. Two robots mounted on a 24 metre overhead gantry are welding complex truck loading platforms in three and a half hours – a reduction in 17 hours over manual welding times.

A new high-speed robot, designed for the Pharmaceutical industry, has been introduced by FANUC Robotics. Suitable for packing and picking operations the arm has been designed for hygienic process areas where intensive cleaning is routinely carried out.

Robots control forge variables and double capacity Fully automated forging of gas turbine compressor aerofoils, from billet to finished forging, is now being undertaken by Rolls-Royce Inchinnan. Two fully integrated systems, each with six FANUC Robotics robots, have doubled capacity and removed the inherent variables of the forging process.

A range of brushless servo motors with a separate rotor and stator design, aimed at the smooth precise control and direct-drive of large inertia or high torque loads, is available from precision motion specialists Heason Technology Limited. The Megaflux thin-ring torque motor from USA manufacturer Emoteq Corporation has an inherently large diameter-to-length ratio - from 150 mm x 30 mm to 760 mm x 123 mm – and covers continuous stall torque fro...

Heason’s new line of spherical rolling joints from Japanese manufacturer Hephaist Seiko are a unique solution for axial alignment of parallel kinematics and high precision positioning mechanism such as Hexapods and Stewart Platforms. Providing backlash-free axial rigidity but allowing radial and angular freedom of movement, the SRJ range offers a very compact alternative to combining traditional roller bearings to achieve 3 degrees of freedom j...

Heason Technology Limited has been appointed as UK Premier Partner by the electromechanical control technology leader Danaher Motion for its Thomson brand linear motion product brands. The jointly signed agreement strengthens Heason Technology’s long-standing distribution partnership with Danaher, adding Thomson mechanical motion components to the expanding capability of the West Sussex based designer and manufacturer of high precision motion c...

Midwest Motion Products of Watertown, Minnesota, is pleased to announce the release of a new DC Gear Motor, the Model No. MMP-TM57-24V GP52-195.. Accepting any 24 Volt DC source, including battery power, this robust Gear Motor measures just 2.24” in Diameter, by 7.75” long, and has a keyed output shaft of 12mm diameter by 25mm long. Easy mounting is accomplished with 4 “face mount” M5 threaded holes, equally spaced on a 40mm Dia. B.C. The...
