In today’s industrial landscape, the demand for safer, more versatile, and easily integrable solutions has driven the rise of collaborative robotics. Collaborative robots, or cobots, allow humans and machines to work side by side without the need for complex physical barriers, opening up new possibilities across production lines, laboratories, small businesses, and highly customized environments.
At URT’s facilities in Zamudio, near Bilbao (Vizcaya), a precision test was recently carried out on the Fanuc M-20iA robot as part of the company’s industrial robot reconditioning process. The goal was to verify and certify that this model meets the highest standards of repeatability, positioning accuracy, and load response—key factors in demanding industrial environments.
Logistics is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. The rise of e-commerce, the growing pressure to deliver products in ever shorter timeframes, and the need to optimize limited space have turned robotic automation into a strategic ally. Within this evolution, collaborative bin-picking—the ability of robots to recognize and extract items from disordered containers—is emerging as one of
In today’s increasingly competitive industrial landscape, gantry robots—also known as Cartesian robots—are emerging as one of the most versatile and efficient solutions for automation. Unlike articulated or SCARA robots, gantry systems are mounted on elevated structures that move across the workspace. This configuration allows them to handle parts with high precision, cover large surface areas,
Precision agriculture requires repeatable, careful, and traceable operations. From fruit harvesting to packaging, margins are tight: the product must not be damaged, harvesting speed must be maintained, and post-harvest quality must be ensured. The Yaskawa Motoman GP8, an agile and compact general-purpose robot, is being adopted in assisted harvesting and post-harvest cells (sorting, boxing, and
In the world of industrial automation, medium-payload robots strike the perfect balance between strength and agility. Among them, the FANUC M-710iC/50 has earned a reputation as a reliable solution for processes that demand precision, speed, and adaptability. Backed by Eurobots, this model remains a competitive option for companies looking to enhance their operations with a
Universal Robots has taken a decisive step toward advanced manufacturing with the launch of the UR8 Long—a collaborative robot built for demanding industrial tasks. Unveiled at the FABTECH trade show in Chicago and set to enter production lines this October, the UR8 Long combines an extended reach of 1,750 mm and an 8 kg payload
Industrial inspection has evolved from being a “necessary cost” to becoming a true driver of productivity. Collaborative robotics and modular platforms now enable small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as mid-sized manufacturers, to integrate quality control cells with ease. This approach helps overcome barriers related to cost, complexity, and space—without requiring major investments. In this
FANUC, a global leader in industrial robotics, is reaffirming its dedication to technical training by becoming a Premium Sponsor of EuroSkills 2025, which will take place from September 9 to 13 in Herning, Denmark. This partnership reflects FANUC’s ongoing support for nurturing young talent in robotic systems integration. EuroSkills, part of the WorldSkills Europe network,
FANUC has signed a major contract to supply an automated painting system to a leading European luxury car manufacturer, further strengthening its position in automotive robotics. With nearly 50 robots dedicated to both bodywork and plastic components, the project stands out as a prime example of full integration—from design and installation to process control on
