You can’t really make the argument that Indramat DKC error codes are a good thing to someone whose machinery has shutdown because of a critical error. You could try, but your words would be met with deaf ears and clenched fists. The truth is nobody likes seeing an error code flashing on the controller’s H1… Read more »
We all know that servo motors revolutionized manufacturing. Just take a look around any factory that uses industrial robots and you can see evidence of that. But servo motors changed the game for manufacturing before industrial robots became standard in plants, too. Anyone who is familiar with Henry Ford’s contributions to manufacturing understand the importance… Read more »
Servo motors are easy to take for granted. They operate behind the scenes, making our lives easier and more convenient with little show or fuss. But it’s not magic that opens up those automatic doors or rolls the car windows down with the push of a button. Those incredible things that are so mundane that… Read more »
Automation will either vault us into an incredible golden age of technological achievement, or it will bring about the downfall of mankind. We will either peacefully share a ride with an artificially intelligent android in a flying taxi, or be forced to defend ourselves from the job-stealing robots that we ourselves put into power. It’s… Read more »
We know the advantages of automation are terrific. Industrial robots work faster than humans, for longer periods of time, and with more precision. If we can automate the task, robots are generally cheaper and more efficient than people are at that task. We also know that with the advantages of industrial robots come potential safety… Read more »
Packaging is a very important part of the manufacturing process. Many consumers don’t realize just how meaningful packaging is, however. They think it’s just a box, a wrapper, or a label, but it’s actually much more than that. Packing protects the contents from dust, moisture, UV exposure, and damage. It also provides important information about… Read more »
The abilities of industrial robots, their applications, and the amount of research going into robotics is increasing at an incredibly rapid rate. Industrial robots are being implemented in more and more areas, and they are taking on a larger portion of the work than ever before. We’re seeing advancements in industrial robots in factories and… Read more »
It’s sometimes easy to neglect ergonomics in the factory – especially when it may seem costly and frivolous – but it’s actually very important. Ergonomics in the workplace is about comfort and efficiency, but it’s also about safety. A well designed and ergonomic workstation benefits workers and employers, and it also creates a safer, healthier… Read more »
You show up to work every day and so does your Indramat motion control system. You do your job and your servos do theirs. Maybe that’s all you know about your servo drive, and maybe that’s all you care to know about it. However, here’s some information for those interested in getting to know their… Read more »
Do you lie awake at night, scared of being targeted by a cyber attack? Maybe not. Maybe you believe that you’re impervious to hacks, either because you’re pretty confident you know how the internet works, or because you can’t see why anyone would target you. Feelings about cybersecurity aside, how much do you actually know… Read more »
