Collaborative robots, or cobots, have been creating a buzz in the automation world in recent years. Many believe there’s just one solution for a collaborative robot system – that being a specialized non-industrial robot. The good news is there’s actually a variety of options to achieve a collaborative system. In fact, most traditional robots can become “collaborative” with extra safety devices and proper integration. Let’s examine options for collaborative robot operations.
Many machine shops avoid manufacturing jobs involving parts that require some form of gear machining operations. They believe that such work is very complicated and requires specialized expertise and equipment, including individual machines dedicated to gear skiving or hobbing. But instead of refusing gear work or farming it out to gear specialists, machine shops can easily keep gear work in-house, and even attract new customers with Mazak's Integrex Auto Gear (AG) series.
With 6 collaborative robot models to choose from, ranging from 4 to 35 kg in payload and 550 to 1813 mm in reach, Fanuc collaborative robots offer more payload and more reach options than any other collaborative robot brand.
The hyperMILL MAXX Machining performance package, a powerful tool for high-performance drilling, roughing, and finishing features special machining strategies that allow users to gain maximum benefit from their machining center and cutters. Two key enhancements have been added to the performance package: Perfect pocketing technology ensures more efficient pocket machining with high-feed cutters. High-performance finishing and roughing strategies are also available for turning.
Mark Dobrich, General Manager – Machine Tools at John Hart, commented: “Austech is Australia’s premier advanced manufacturing and machine tool exhibition, and has always been a key date in our diary allowing us to showcase Mazak’s latest generation of machine tools to a sector which provides the backbone to Australian manufacturing.”
The latest version of the hyperMILL CAD/CAM suite, 2019.1, is now available.
