OPC UA – an overview over the central Industry 4.0 standard
In principle, technical standards are supposed to improve the efficiency and interoperability of technical devices and components. But frequently we find competing standards, in particular in the industrial sector. This becomes even more problematic in the era of Industry 4.0 and increasingly networked machines and systems. Enter OPC UA, a platform that is poised to overcome the old rivalries.
Automated XXL welding
The cooperation between the Austrian robot manufacturer igm and KEBA has already existed for about 25 years. Over time, KEBA has developed into an important partner, not least because the company is has such a broad base: robotics, controllers, drives, powerful robot safety, and all this in an open platform.
The most important robotics trends: More than just buzzwords
Requirements for robots are undergoing dramatic changes. Mass production is being abandoned more and more in favor of small batch sizes, and customizing for individual needs is the order of the day. Automation in areas previously dominated by manual work as well as the collaboration between humans and robots—these are the watchwords in robotics today.
How a logistics solution provider ensures speed and flexibility.
The logistics industry is facing major challenges, especially due to the boom in e-commerce. "More speed, precision, compactness and flexibility" also applies to TGW Robotics and its business partners - such as KEBA. Together, they have already been able to successfully implement several projects to optimize the logistics process and thus solve essential pain points in intralogistics.
How to achieve robot accuracy of less than 0.1 millimeters
Precision applications, 3D printing or the assembly of miniature electronics push robots to the limits of their accuracy. Mechanical improvements of high-precision robots are not enough – what is needed is additional optimization of the control and calibration systems.
