We’ve seen collaborative robots used in packaging, additive manufacturing, and even in light manufacturing processes. Collaborative robots haven’t typically been used for heavy industrial manufacturing, however. That’s changing. Industrial collaborative robots are better, more capable cobots. Dialing down our robots One of the biggest differences between collaborative robots and industrial robots is that collaborative robots… Read more »
After decades of reliable service your Indramat servo motor finally stopped working. The rest of your system is in good condition, so you decide to simply find a replacement Indramat motor. Indramat, or more accurately Bosch Rexroth, does not sell components to third parties, however. So how do you find new Indramat components? Why doesn’t… Read more »
Michio Kaku is one of the world’s most famous theoretical physicists. He’s known for building a 2.3 million electron-volt atom smasher betatron accelerator in his garage as a high school teenager, his contributions in developing string theory, and his predictions for our world in the future. Dr. Kaku says our most advanced computers have the… Read more »

There’s no denying the importance of industrial robots in manufacturing. Countries all over the world are installing more and more robots to improve production. The most recent figures for global robot density suggest that we can expect more of the same in the future. Global robot density Data from the International Federation of Robotics shows… Read more »
Robots are faster, stronger, and more precise than human workers. Industrial machines do more work in less time, and they can work far longer than people can. Robots don’t need breaks, they don’t get food poisoning, and they don’t take time off for holidays. Of course, there’s still one area where robots can’t compete with… Read more »
Sometimes clearing Indramat servo errors is a simple task. Check a cable connection here, reset some parameters there, and you’re good to go. Sometimes clearing Indramat error codes is a long, tedious, and expensive process. While you can hope that your Indramat servo errors are always easy fixes, you’re better off doing what you can… Read more »
Sometimes condensation is a good thing. Like when you see beads of sweat rolling down an ice cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer day. Sometimes condensation is a bad thing. Like when your drive controller is colder than the air in your control cabinet, and the resulting condensation damages your machinery. Electronics and… Read more »
