Coordinated motion will revolutionize the welding game 💥

Listen to what Matt Hendey, CEO at THG Automation, has to say about the possibilities of coordinated motion.

He said it 🤷🏼‍♂️

💬 That’s an awesome machine 💬

That is what Camilo Aguilar, Production Manager at DeAngelo Marine Exhaust, Inc., had to say about his new robot colleague.

No wonder he's impressed, considering the 10x increase in weld productivity 🦾

Optical laser sensor + robot welder = efficiency 💥

Garmo Instruments’ seam tracking solution makes cobot welding even more accessible and reduces the need for precise positioning.

P.S. What do you think about this combo? 🤔

Welding connoisseurs, look here 👇💥

PS. wait for the turntable to do its magic 🤩

Welding from every angle 💥📐

Welding is a physically demanding job, and sometimes, you need to bend (😩) and stretch (🥵) yourself out of shape in order to make the perfect weld.

At Smallaire, they fortunately have a Cobot Welder from Hirebotics to do some of their welding for them, potentially saving them from unnecessary back pain.

Look at how the robot is able to handle every weld from one spot 🤩

💬... when you’re not welding, you’re not making money. 💬

Matt Hendey from THG Automation knows that as soon as a welding project goes on hold, the money does the same.

With coordinated motion, you don’t have to pause your welding to move the part. Instead, the robot and the part move seamlessly together 💥

💬… 20 minutes later, I’m running parts like I’ve been running robots my whole life. 💬

Justin Montes, CEO of DeAngelo Marine Exhaust, Inc., didn’t believe he could learn robot welding in a day. Turns out it took him only 20 minutes.

Welding goals 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

Hirebotics has installed these two UR20s at Advanta Industries, and they’re putting in some serious welding work!

With a reach of 1750mm each, this welding tag team can take on bigger and more complex tasks 🦾

Welding positioner 🤝 collaborative robot

Raymath Metal Fabrication is benefitting from this nice welding setup from THG Automation, Fronius Perfect Welding, and Profax.

Add a 7th axis to increase robot range 🦾

Like in this welding example 👇

UR10e has a working sphere of 2.8 meters, but by mounting the robot on a slide, it's possible to move the robot between processes to increase its working area vastly.

Robots can tackle larger parts or move components between multiple processes, saving the total number of robots required.

Integration by Olympus Technologies 👏

Looks good, sounds good, welds good 💥

Looking for the perfect recipe for circular welds? Here it is:

👉 CMT power supply from Fronius Perfect Welding
👉 Rotary turntable from Kinetic Technologies, LLC
👉 Welding system from THG Automation

If Michelin were handing out stars for welding, this solution would be a serious contender!

P.S. SOUND UP FOR THIS ONE 🔊

Minimize the risk of having to re-weld 💥

WireSense from Fronius Perfect Welding uses a wire electrode as a sensor to scan the component precisely before welding.

This way, the robot will be adjusted to the specific component that’s about to be welded.

With this setup, Fronius and THG Automation ensure precision, accuracy, and a lower risk of rework 🎯

Great work, Vectis Automation! 🦾

Bed frame assembly – from manual to automatic 👀

This demo shows how collaborative robots can relieve human workers from repetitive, hard, and hazardous work.

💪 How manual assembly works:
Multiple operators normally assemble 240-280 frame pieces per day, using staple guns (a rather dangerous tool).

🦾 How automatic assembly works:
A single cobot assembles twice the amount of frame pieces per day, sparing workers from repetitive finger and wrist actions.

We’re looking forward to the final result of this application 🤩

Thanks to Mark Lee for the footage! 👏

So simple, and yet so satisfying to watch 👀

At AAA in Straubing, Leverage Robotics had a little souvenir for the guests who visited them.

A spirit level.

It might seem like a simple thing, but the steps that lead up to the final product are soooo cool.

👏 Separation of bulk material
👏 Labeling with a stamp
👏 Dispensing/gluing
👏 Assembly
.. in ONE task.

Pretty cool, right? 🤩

This is precision and accuracy 🎯

Zimmer Group pneumatic grippers are perfect for PCB assembly!

Oh, this? This is just a robot playing the cello… 🎻

Fredrik Gran is programming robots to play music. AND he is using two of ours.

That. Is. Cool.

We could not be prouder of this little robot cellist 🥹

Robotic teamwork makes the dream work 🦾

Take a look at these robots working together. They bring out the best in each other 🥹

And the icing on the cake: collection and transport by Mobile Industrial Robots A/S AMRs.

This is a great example of how different automation solutions and applications can work together 👏

This robot checks the quality of engine subassemblies 🦾

🔥 Helps achieve perfect quality
🔥 Takes 32 seconds to inspect
🔥 Paid for itself in 7 months

Application is running at Comprehensive Logistics Co., Inc..

3D printing with recycled plastic ♻️

Shoutout to PrusaLab for recycling in a cool and artistic way.

Adaptive AI-based vision 🧠

Micropsi Industries is a software company that provides ready-to-use AI systems for robots.

Here, you see a demo of a vision system that enables a robot to adapt to changing positions.

Perfect for dynamic or variable scenarios! 👏

INTRODUCING DEVELOPER SUITE 👀👇

Build, test, customize, measure, implement, expand.

Do all of the above (and some more) with the help of Developer Suite.

First, they were worried, but then... 🤩

With robots, Kal Plastics is able to increase:

😊 Worker satisfaction
⛑️ Worker safety
💸 Worker salary

When Juliet Goff presented the idea of a robot, she saw the concern in her employees’ eyes.

But once they learned what the robot could do, they couldn’t believe she hadn’t brought one in sooner.

Coordinated motion will revolutionize the welding game 💥

Listen to what Matt Hendey, CEO at THG Automation, has to say about the possibilities of coordinated motion.

Spoiler alert: coordinated motion is here to stay 👌

Laser cleaning is cool... AND effective 💥

Painting the town red has never been easier 😉🦾

Having a robot paint your ceilings will spare you a back-breaking, messy, and time-consuming job.

This is truly a stroke of genius from Okibo 👏
