3D CAD/CAM software in robot development

Expert Forum Security + Automation: Program available
The specialist forum "Safety + Automation" on October 8 at Motek offers the latest knowledge in the field of machine safety. In eight individual presentations, experts will talk about the latest trends in safe automation.
Cobots for Power
For over a year, "James" has been stacking 2,400 packaging units per day in two-shift operation - without a break, without resting. In his area of responsibility, the palletizing of packaged cable junction boxes, he has been able to increase process efficiency during this time and at the same time relieve his colleagues of this physically demanding work.

Grippers for collaborative robots
Schmalz has developed a gripper for human-robot collaboration (HRC). It is suitable for intralogistics applications such as end-of-line packaging or pick & place applications.
Focus on technical discussions
The All About Automation trade fair on September 12 and 13 at the Globana Messe und Conference Center, located between Leipzig and Halle, promises advice on all specialist areas of industrial automation technology and switchgear construction.

Robot systems for hostile environments
If chemically contaminated areas have to be decontaminated or nuclear facilities dismantled, workers are exposed to health risks. In future, robotic systems will carry out such decontamination work. The new Robdekon competence center, which is being funded by the BMBF with twelve million euros, is working to make this a reality.
Schunk User and Technology Day
In focus: MRK improves ergonomics
How can human-robot collaboration be used in everyday production? What safety concepts are there? How to get started? - These topics were the focus of the second Schunk User and Technology Dialogue. Above all, the ergonomic facilitation of everyday work will become a central aspect of HRC in the future.
MRK: Practical experience, real solutions

On October 17 and 18, the third edition of the Human Robot Forum and accompanying trade exhibition will take place in Stuttgart. Registration at the early bird price is possible until August 10.
Robotics Nobel Prize goes to Universal Robots founder

Esben Østergaard, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Universal Robots, has been honored with the Engelberger Robotics Award. The award is considered the world's most important accolade in the field of robotics.
Schmalz develops smart grippers for cobots

Humans and robots are also moving closer together in logistics. Schmalz has therefore developed a gripper solution that ensures safe human-robot collaboration thanks to its product design.
