Easy automation is the focus of the R. A. Rodriguez stand at Total 2010. The company is the UK arm of a global company that specialises in linear and rotary bearings and the supply of other precision components. At the show however, R. A. Rodriguez will feature two stand-alone systems both of which are recent additions to its range. They are a simple and highly economical robotic arm and a small item palletising system.

Letchworth-based R. A. Rodriguez (UK) Ltd., supplier of precision engineering components and automation, is now the proud winner of a highly respected industry award. Last month, the Universal Robot was judged to be the Best Automation System in the biennial Metalworking Production Awards. The MWP Awards were devised to recognise and applaud outstanding achievement in the design, manufacture and supply of production equipment. The awards cerem...

With low cost benchtop robotics playing a significant part in cost-reduced/quality-upgraded small scale production, this new Robotics Catalogue from Intertronics will interest engineers in all industries.

Intertronics’ introduction of the preeflow eco-PEN 450 from ViscoTec not only offers a greater capacity for high accuracy and highly repeatable volumetric dispensing – it also addresses the needs of a wide range of low to medium viscosity applications. These include oils and fats, colour mixes, silicones, sealing compounds, adhesives and even abrasive media, which can be easily handled by the innovative precision rotor-stator mechanis...

Contract Electronics Manufacturer CT Production recently contacted Intertronics when they needed to expand their robotic capability for a low energy lighting product – explained CT Production MD Alan Trevarton, “It is company strategy to compete with offshore manufacturing by lowering costs using robotics - compared with manual operatives the benefits are greater flexibility, continuous working, reduced mess and cleanup, plus enhanced...

Diversified Plastics, Inc. has announced the production of a high-precision component for the new Dynapar™ HS35R Encoder. The component, a shaftsizing insert, fits within the encoderʼs center bore and accommodates various motor shaft sizes, while insulating the encoder from external stresses.

STEMMER IMAGING, KUKA Switzerland and the Interstaatliche Hochschule für Technik (Interstate College for Technology NTB) in Buchs, Switzerland, have developed a robotics software package, V4R (Vision for Robotics), using STEMMER IMAGING’s Common Vision Blox (CVB) imaging toolkit. Image processing provides mechanical robots with a new mode of perception by giving them added vision. The V4R software runs directly on the controller of the KUKA ro...

Piher International Corporation has announced the immediate availability of a new shaft angle rotary sensor - the PST-360 Through-Hole Position Sensor. The PST-360 combines a through-shaft design with 360º absolute position feedback in an extremely thin package.

ATM has, for many years, been recognised as the leading supplier of Robotics and Automation to the plastics industry within the United Kingdom. The introduction of the new MR20 – 7 Axis Robot is a further demonstration of ATM’s philosophy of seeking out and implementing new technologies and products which will provide their customers with a competitive advantage in today’s demanding environment.

In these challenging times manufacturers face continuing pressure to improve output and reduce costs. In an effort to achieve these objectives many companies are turning to preventative maintenance as a way of improving the performance of their automation and robotic systems. As a systems solution provider to the plastics industry ATM Automation Limited explain in this article, the benefits which can be obtained from scheduled and preventative m...
