Regardless of the size of the company or industry in which it operates, adding automation into a business environment can mean a significant shift in the way an organization conducts itself.

Ease-of-use is a key element for improving maintenance pains for electronics manufacturers. When the robotic cell is designed for simplicity, it makes maintenance and management much easier for electronic manufacturers.

Japanese investment and telecoms giant SoftBank puts $37m into next generation robotics company Boston Dynamics after it bought the business from Google.

Booth #5095 - In the Factory of The Future exhibit, OMRON pick and place automation demonstrates the potential for machines to manage fine detail work with speed and accuracy.

Booth #5014 - The next generation of AquaGard 7350 Conveyors feature an improved frame design, nose bar transfer options and the industry’s safest and most robust curve modular chain.

Booth #4211 - Vendors will want to stop by to see Epson Force Guidance technology, the T6 SCARA Robot Dispense Demonstration, and the LS3 Force Feeder Demonstration.

Booth #4605 - We're very excited to show the ATX audience three new UR cobot-assisted applications developed by our partners

Booth #4139 - DENSO's newest 6 axis robot, Cobotta, we have targeted the marketing of small, delicate parts handling, with the selection of both an industrial mode of operation, as well as, a collaborative mode of operation.

Booth #4481 (co-exhibiting with Futura Automation) - Gecko Gripper, that uses millions of micro-scaled fibrillar stalks that adhere to a surface using powerful van der Waals forces — the same way that geckos climb.

TE Connectivity's HDC Dynamic Module integrates the Dynamic series flexible signal and power solutions and the HDC Heavy Duty Connector series to form a solution of harsh environment connectors. TE's HDC Dynamic Module offers the top features of the two series. It uses the contact concept of the Dynamic series, with its proven performance in industrial uses and its cost effectiveness compared to legacy cutting contacts. The HDC connectors make the module a reliable solution for harsh environments. TE's HDC Dynamic Module supports 2A/32V to 40A/300V performance and 3 positions to 48 positions.

There is an increasing demand for collaborative robots that can work autonomously and adapt to changing production conditions. This requires reliable sensors that detect human presence and can overcome future challenges with the development of collaborative technologies.

Booth #4311 - The single-arm YuMi provides manufacturers of all sizes added flexibility and scalability to meet the challenges of high-mix, low-volume production in shorter cycles.

Columbia Engineering researchers have made a major advance in robotics by creating a robot that learns what it is, from scratch, with zero prior knowledge of physics, geometry, or motor dynamics.

Because of the very complex nature of automotive manufacturing AGV vehicles on the plant floor must feature a wide range of standard modules that are configurable to meet automotive customers’ automation needs.

Booth #4411 - We are showcasing our newest Manual Tool Changer, Force/Torque Sensor, and Universal Compliance Compensator models in a live robotic demonstration! These solutions are ideal for use in collaborative robot applications.
