Kunststoffe international, 2007-01-22, Comparison of Articulated Arm and Linear Robots
...t systems and slippage-free servomotors with permanently energized rotating fields are required for every axis of an articulated arm robot, so that a holding force is provided for every position of the arm. But in spite of its high agility, an articulated arm robot cannot reach every point within the radius of its mounting base. Its working space has the shape of a thick-walled spherical shell. Moreover, most standard models of articulated arm robots are not able to access points below the level...

...up to 50 % lighter than the comparable steel parts. Compared with aluminum, the weight reduction is still around 30 % with significantly lower material thickness. The weight savings offered by the carbon-fiber battery monocoque benefit the agility of the SLS AMG E-Cell and in combination with the wheel-selective four-wheel drive contribute to the driving pleasure. The carbon-fiber battery monocoque is, in addition, designed as a “zero intrusion cell” in order to meet the very highest demands on ...

... or special packaging tasks, they complement linear units. The users often employ six-axis robots in combination with large machines (Fig. 7). A special small six-axis robot – the Kuka Agilus, which features high flexibility, agility and range, even in confined spaces – has been integrated into a compact metering cell by Rampf Dosiertechnik GmbH & Co. KG, Zimmern, Germany, (Fig. 8). The cell is suitably used where a low degree of automation and high variation in production are required. The ...

...g and packaging in the food and non-food areas, intended to open up new possibilities in production and product marketing. For visitors interested in smart factories, Sidel, Parma, Italy, and Gebo Cermex, Reichstett, France, are presenting their Agility 4.0 program in detail (booth A6.330). It can provide support for those taking the step from mass production to mass customization, and also increase the overall plant efficiency and sustainability while reducing overall operating costs. The new s...

... and introduction of the FDC process, Ros was awarded the "Brose Innovation Award Europe" on April 25, 2017. With the award, the international automotive supplier honors its supplier’s innovative strength, cooperation, and implementation agility.Long-glass-fiber-reinforced plastics are gaining in importance for highly mechanically stressed mechatronic components from Brose. The FDC components offer high stability with very low component weight. According to Brose, Ros, with this innovation, is p...

...able components and machinery has long been towards weight reduction with unchanged or improved properties. This applies for diverse products – from sports articles to medical devices and from cars to aircraft – where weight plays a key role for agility and efficiency. For means of transportation lightweight design results, for example, in direct reduction of the fuel consumption because a lower mass can be accelerated and moved with greater energy efficiency. Besides isotropic lightweight mater...
