There’s an awkward moment in some automation projects when no one really wants to look too closely at the first batches. The parts come out quickly. The robot never stops. Productivity indicators look great. And yet… something feels off. The defect that used to appear sporadically now shows up with impeccable regularity. There’s no debate:
For years, industrial robotics seemed reserved for large corporations with massive budgets. Today, that reality has changed. Advances in technology, easier programming, and flexible financing have made automation accessible even to manufacturing startups from their earliest stages. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), over 30% of new industrial robot installations in 2024 were
In the modern factory, the best of two worlds comes together: the robustness of traditional industrial robots and the flexibility of collaborative robots, or cobots. This fusion—a hybrid human-robot line—offers great advantages but also raises critical challenges: safety, ergonomics, production flow, and adaptability to change. For brands like KUKA, ABB, or FANUC, which you manage
In today’s industrial market, both new and refurbished robots have a legitimate and distinct role within automation strategies. Neither option is universally better; instead, each suits particular technical, operational, and financial requirements. The right decision shouldn’t be based on personal preference, but should come from a careful, comparative analysis that takes into account measurable criteria
In the industrial sector, sanding, polishing, and surface finishing might seem like straightforward tasks, but they actually involve a significant level of technical complexity. Each piece requires consistent pressure, precise motions, a uniform rhythm, and an attentive approach to detail—qualities that are difficult to maintain manually over many hours of work. This is where an
MIG/MAG welding is one of the most widely used manufacturing processes, but when performed manually it often leads to significant variation. Deciding to automate is not just about bringing new technology into the factory – it’s about determining whether your process is technically and operationally ready for a robot to deliver real, tangible improvements. There
The integration of a robotic welding solution does not simply replace manual labor, but transforms the entire production process. The benefits are mainly reflected in three key areas, which are constantly monitored by the industry: production efficiency, weld quality, and operating costs per part. These improvements are recognized worldwide and proven by the actual performance
In the robotics industry, the Motoman MH24 is a six-axis articulated robot designed for high-speed tasks such as material handling, general operations, and other precision applications. While it is not a welding-specific robot like some models in Yaskawa’s AR series, its combination of speed, rigidity, and path accuracy makes it a viable option for welding
At the heart of many automated factories, a group of robots works tirelessly for hundreds of hours on end. But what happens if one of these machines fails unexpectedly? An unplanned stoppage can cost thousands of euros per hour, result in lost orders and delayed deliveries. This is where predictive maintenance steps in: instead of
The total investment goes far beyond the price of the robot itself. A robotic welding cell involves a complete package that covers the industrial robot, mechanical and electrical integration, welding equipment and peripherals, software and programming, staff training, and ongoing maintenance and spare parts. The industry takes this comprehensive approach because it best reflects the
