Standard Bots says the intellectual property of READY Robotics will make it easier to build applications atop foundation models.

GelSight and Flexxbotics say their initial target industries include aerospace, defense, medical devices, automotive, and more.

Kawasaki Robotics has focused on making its CL Series cobots easy to program for specific applications such as arc welding.

Okuma says its new ORL line will load and unload workpieces from new and pre-existing machines to increase productivity and efficiency. 

ABB’s OmniVance cell for machine tending includes the GoFa 12 cobot and software designed for easy deployment, integration, and programming.

The new PRS Tool Changer can be combined with a variety of grippers and inductive couplers for tasks such as machine tending.

OnRobot says its new grippers can handle heavier payloads for collaborative robot applications such as palletizing and machine tending.

The machine tending system from Flexxbotics enables Ruland’s UR cobots to communicate directly with its FANUC RoboDrill machinery.

RobCo develops flexible robotic hardware kits for various applications in SME manufacturing, including machine loading and palletizing. 

The companies say that customers benefit from the combination of Flexxbotics’ robot machine tending system with Vention’s MAP offering.

Flexxbotics has raised funding and received advice to provide its robot process-control software to more manufacturers.

With robot-driven operation of FOBA equipment, customers can achieve continuous operation, greater throughput, and higher yields, claimed Flexxbotics.

Flexxbotics claims that its FlexxCORE robot connectivity software can help automate machine tending and improve productivity for Hardinge users. 

Productive Robotics said its new Productive Analytics cloud-based platform can provide history and real-time monitoring of OB7 cobot operations.
