A photovoltaic cell manufacturing plant handles a large number of fragile silicon wafers using a high level of automation. One such automation is the use of compact two-finger robot edge-grippers to transport trays of silicon wafers between operation
Industrial robots have revolutionised manufacturing processes across many industry sectors through their flexibility and capability to adapt to numerous tasks. However, with increasing levels of flexibility being demanded by consumers across several
Driven by demand for data in manufacturing, the automation of post-processing/post-moulding operations is on the rise. As a result, Stäubli Fluid Connectors is now bolstering its work in the field of end-of-arm-tooling.
Manufacturers hope that, by reshoring, they can bring supply closer to
demand in order to achieve shorter lead times and better service against the current global supply chain issues and increasing-import costs.
The pandemic has amplified the focus on productivity and forced injection moulding decision makers to reconsider how automation and digitalised technologies can facilitate working smarter. Nigel Flowers, managing director, Sumitomo (SHI) Demag writes
