Protecting the vulnerable seals and o-rings on your robots is critical to the longevity of your investment. In this blog post, we discuss how certain coolants and lubricants can significantly damage these rubber components and what you can do about it.
Bayer Crop Science uses innovative research and technologies to unlock solutions that shape the future of agriculture.
John Neyland, Jr., CEO and founder of Car Wash Robotics, went all-in more than three years ago on robotics technology in the car wash industry.
Since their founding in early 2019, Vectis Automation has been a champion of best-in-class Cobot technology for a variety of welding applications, including arc welding and plasma cutting. With their smaller footprint and mobile flexibility, Cobots have progressed from an industry niche to a manufacturing necessity in less than five years.
After the Chemical Weapons Convention in 1993, a treaty was signed that required all participating countries, including the US, to destroy their chemical weapons stockpiles in a safe, effective way. These rockets contained lethal and volatile mustard agents, VX nerve agents, or GB nerve agents.
As both an industry and an entire class of technology, robotics changes and advances rapidly. Whether as a hobbyist or seasoned robotics engineer, you need to know each component inside and out. You should also know how to choose between several different variations, in some cases.
Companies that employ robotic automation are most likely to survive the pandemic and remain competitive for the long term. It’s imperative to engage a robotic system integrator as soon as possible to get that system up and running; but with travel restrictions and contagion concerns, traditional in-person meetings are not likely. Here are 5 steps on how to choose a robotic integration partner through virtual means.
Collaborative robots (cobots) and automated robotic arms can have different tool types depending on the application and the desired outcome. One differentiation worth knowing about is pneumatic versus electric end-of-arm tooling (EOAT). These are the tools at the end of the arm the robot manipulates to interact with materials and workpieces.
Leading manufacturer of robot protection Roboworld Molded Products prepares for the launch of the Universal Robots’ UR16e with UR e-Series Pendant Armor®, an energy-absorbing teach pendant bumper.
The exterior of a robot might come as an afterthought to some robotics developers, but your choice of materials will affect its safety, durability, and even aesthetics. Any design project should include considerations of how a robot will move, whether it will operate around people, what tasks it will perform, and the anticipated environment.

The Robotiq User Conference (RUC) wouldn’t be possible without our wonderful sponsors. Some of the biggest names in collaborative robots and automation are providing their support to make sure that this year’s event is the best yet.
It’s inevitable–your robotic teach pendant will be dropped. Extreme operating environments can also damage your teach pendant. We know this because 75% of smartphone users protect them with cases. Most of us, however, overlook protection when it comes to teach pendants, which are a much more expensive investment.
For 25 years, Roboworld have focused exclusively on protecting industrial automation in extreme manufacturing environments.
Roboworld makes protective cases for teach pendants to protect this piece of equipment.
Three Major Automation Trends from Automate 2019 - The automation industry is hot with startups, new innovations, tools to streamline the automation chain and minimize downtime, and all of this, and more, was on display.
Toxic? Dangerous? Hot? Or heavy? Sounds like a job for a robot…
“Another innovative tool from Roboworld are protective covers for robot interfaces. These teach pendants, they take a lot of punishments, they are always getting dropped. It makes a lot of sense as an accessory for your robot pendant.” – Jim Beretta
A Robosuit® is a conformal, custom-fitted cover that protects a robot from extreme manufacturing (or operating) conditions. It fits over the robot’s castings and servo motors without impacting the robot’s articulation or work-envelope (reach).
“Roboworld is a good example of the type of company that features within the UR+ ecosystem, in that it offers industry leading products,” Esben says.
