It's another wonderful Wonder Why Wednesday! Ever "Wondered Why" some cables fail in flexing and motion applications? Discover what sets robotic cables apart by watching the video below with Timothy M. to learn how robotic cables with torsion abilities from igus Inc. can enhance your applications. Comment below or send me a message to discuss your unique cable needs! #automation #robotics #techupcostdown #cablemanufacturer #WonderWhyWednesday

+++ What is holding back modular factories +++ The idea of #modular #factories is exciting. I got interested in plug-and-play flexibility on the shop floor about 20 years ago. Last year the modular factory #BIONTAINER (https://lnkd.in/gG3quGyM) made the news. Now the BMW Group and AyTec Automation GmbH come with another exciting modular #robotic cell. (thx for sharing Florian Palatini) Yet, why hasn't this concept gone mainstream? ❔Is flexibility not a top design criterion for production lines? ❔Is essential technology still missing to make modularity more affordable? ❔Does this innovation simply need more time to evolve? Are we on the brink of a modular revolution in manufacturing, or is there more to the story? #MTP #modularfacility

Dynamic D1000 Slim Connector -- Small in size, big on performance D1000 slim small wire-to-wire connector is suitable for narrow spaces in small industrial equipment and small machinery applications. The size of the D1000 is 80% smaller than the D1200 series, with low interference risk and streamlined design. Keying and the locking feature provide reliability and reduce unexpected unmating and lever breakage in narrow spaces such as robotic arms and other customer applications. #TE #smallerconnectors #robotics

Magnetic gripping has advantages over traditional mechanical gripping. Magnets only need one side of the part exposed for gripping whereas traditional parallel gripper covers 3 sides of the part when gripped. Magnets allow for more work to be done because regripping the part is not required. If you have a project, feel free to contact me and we can talk about the possibility for SCHUNK EGM and EMH magnets!

🤖Robotics Wednesday🤖 ❗Robotics Connector Assembly Machine❗ This 3-component connector assembly machine from MS Automation uses flexible feeding systems - flex feeders allow this machine to assemble a wide range of products with minimal re-tooling. Integrated vision from Cognex Corporation validates each assembly step. Bad parts are automatically segregated at pack-out. And of course we cannot forget about three robotics arms from STÄUBLI Robotics. I see great engineering here! What is your opinion? #robotics #innovation #technology

🤖 Control Panel wiring by Robot ❗ 🤖 Check out this impressive robotic feat from Fraunhofer IPA and Rittal! Their pitasc software allows for precise control during assembly. Two robots work together, with one handling the cable and the other positioning it perfectly. They can perform various tasks like gripping, laying, plugging, and even testing connections. This innovative system uses digital wiring plans to program the robots' movements, making the process efficient and accurate. Pretty cool, right? What are your thoughts on this application of cobots? #Robotics #Innovation #Technology
