The first industrial robot used in U.S. manufacturing first came into existence in 1954. Named Unimate (created by Connecticut-based Unimation), the robot was pressed into service by General Motors at its New Jersey plant in 1961. The use of...
Industrial robots are complex machines that serve an array of purposes across a vast array of industries. Do you have a robot that has been malfunctioning or requires other maintenance efforts? The following is an overview of the reasons to hire a...
Bringing on a workforce made up of metal -- that never gets tired or hungry, never wants to take a break or receive more pay -- may seem like a dream solution for manufacturers. While the latest models are much more collaborative, mobile and smarter...
An industrial robot is a smart investment in that it can help organizations keep up their production levels by automating tasks that ultimately distract workers. It also increases the accuracy and quality of the goods being produced. However, robots...
Industrial robots are typically non-specialized and can perform in most industrial settings. There are four basic types of industrial robots used today: nonservo robots, servo robots, computer programmable robots and programmable robots. Let's...
In order for production robots to retain their optimal efficiency and functionality, these machines should be subjected to regular inspection and preventative maintenance. It’s worth noting that because robots must do their work within...
The first recorded instance of the term “robot” occurred in a 1921 play entitled “R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots)” by Karl Capek using the Czech word for “slave”. Robots as a mechanical version of human...
Industrial robots are increasingly being used in all areas of the manufacturing sector, by companies large and small from all corners of the world. Such robots have been utilized since the 1970s, but the usage of industrial robots has really taken...

When it comes to welding the technology has certainly evolved by leaps and bounds in the past few decades. What used to take weeks at the hands of a human welder can now be done in a fraction of the time by a robot welder for faster results. There...
Robotics has definitely caused sizable reactions in the public at large. Some people herald the progress of what we've been able to do with these machines while others feel threatened by them due to fear of losing their job or their very...
Industrial robots play an important role in many economic sectors. By definition, these machines function automatically and they can be programmed to perform different tasks. They feature implements that move in at least three directions. Some...
Most industrial robots are comprised of grabbing elements connected to computer-controlled moving parts with the varieties named in part based on how they move. Six-axis robots resemble thick arms rising out of the ground and are capable of complex...
The field of robotics has been simultaneously welcomed and feared by many people, but the truth is that robots aren't necessarily meant to replace workers. Just like it made more sense for us to accept automatic elevators instead of...
