With the Injection Molding Machine Interface (IMMI), the collaborative robots leader has launched a user-friendly and quick solution for plastics manufacturers to integrate Universal Robots with injection molding machines.

ActiNav from Universal Robots is a new UR+ application kit for companies of all sizes that simplifies the integration of autonomous bin picking of parts and accurate placement in machines using UR cobots. ActiNav synchronously handles vision processing, collision-free motion planning and autonomous real-time robot control, eliminating the complexity and risk usually associated with bin picking applications.

Universal Robots is expanding its UR+ platform of certified partner products with application kits that remove barriers to industrial automation for small, medium and large companies alike.

THE MARKET LEADER IN COLLABORATIVE ROBOTICS WILL SHOW ATTENDEES AT NORTH AMERICA’S LARGEST SUPPLY CHAIN EXPO HOW COBOTS CAN AUTOMATE HARD-TO-STAFF PALLETIZING AND PIECE-PICKING TASKS WITH NEW APPLICATIONS FROM PARTNERS MDCI AUTOMATION, RIGHTHAND ROBOTICS, AND CROSS AUTOMATION.

Attendees at the largest automation technology trade show in the Western U.S. will experience how collaborative robots from industry leader Universal Robots now automate some of the most sought-after tasks in a manufacturing industry facing severe labor shortages.

Manufacturers immediately benefit from collaborative robots without the upfront capital investment.

Universal Robots announces that the Danish division of Carlsberg, one of the leading brewery groups in the world, has significantly improved staff safety and taken steps towards achieving zero accidents since integrating cobots into its Fredericia-based factory.

Universal Robots (UR), the most trusted and widely-deployed collaborative robot (cobot) manufacturer in the world, today announces that Carlsberg, a global beer brewer, has significantly improved staff safety and taken steps towards achieving zero accidents since integrating cobots into its Fredericia-based factory.

Invertek Drives, the global designer and manufacturer of variable frequency drives (VFDs), has incorporated two UR5 cobots into the testing phase of its production line.

Earlier this year, Invertek Drives opened the doors to its new 5,500 square metre global manufacturing and distribution facility in Welshpool, UK, enabling production of up to 400,000 VFDs a year. Its VFDs are used to control electric motors in a variety of industrial, commercial and energy-saving applications, exporting to more than 80 countries.
