Here are some of the heat treating processes metalworkers rely on to ensure the metals they turn out have the properties customers need. bit.ly/3H3u4oS

Using the correct thread is critical for proper mating and replacing #hydraulic fittings. This relatively simple four-step process will do the trick. bit.ly/3XAt3LO

The correct platform depends on the job’s path, envelope geometry and a make- versus-buy decision. Read more in this article from #Festo! bit.ly/4rHNirn #robotics #automation

#Robotics industry leaders discuss robotic integration pitfalls, the regulatory shift from cobot to collaborative application and the practical implications of #physicalAI. bit.ly/4cSSGBF

This article from @Avnet introduces the Actuation Boundary, an #engineering framework for verifying the safety, reasoning and traceability behind every #AI-driven command before a machine moves. bit.ly/4hCzsD0

#Inbolt aims to bridge the gap between robot simulation and production with runtime vision that adapts #CAD-derived trajectories in real time. RoboDK, by contrast, focuses on streamlining programming and validation before deployment. bit.ly/4ycZTVU #robotics

#Cobots may lower barriers to #automation, but they don't eliminate the engineering decisions that determine whether a deployment succeeds, according to @FANUCAmerica's Jerry Perez. bit.ly/4hdG0GH #robotics

Disruptive machine guarding tech looks to solve robotics safety challenges. Read more: bit.ly/4xAIG7q.

A conversation with @Robco_Robotics' Arjan Van Staveren on why the future of factory #automation runs on #physicalAI—and a subscription model. Watch the video here: bit.ly/3SVx1SH. #RaaS #roboticsasaservice

This article from @wescocorp will look at six questions engineers and engineering managers can ask to identify suitable r#obotics applications, assess existing plant infrastructure and determine how best to integrate a#utomation into current processes. bit.ly/4AqQhrZ

How @asylonrobotics #engineers integrated drones, quadruped #robots, sensors and #AI to automate #military aircraft inspections while overcoming challenges in payload design, motion stability, thermal management and data integration. bit.ly/4ySjqLd

Take a guided tour of the @igus_Inc. booth to explore #motionplastics, humanoid #robotics, #cleanroom energy supply, #PTFE-free bearings and #autonomousmobilerobots (#AMRs) for #manufacturing. bit.ly/4AHHz95

.@hirebotics CEO Matt Bush breaks down what #RoboticsasaService could mean for the next generation of industrial #robots, and why the forces reshaping the industry are changing their economics, #engineering and deployment all at once. Read more: bit.ly/4cYExTz. #RaaS

#Robotic #machinetending can increase output and ease labor constraints, but building a strong business case starts with identifying where automation delivers measurable value and #ROI—from @Mitsubishi_USA. bit.ly/4jfR34M #robotics

Welcome to #Automation & #Robotics Week! Stay tuned for a variety of articles, videos & more on the challenges and triumphs of integrated #robots. Thanks to our sponsor @igus_Inc for making this week happen!

Wireless #sensors and #data networks can give managers accurate, up-to-date information to make better planning and operational decisions. bit.ly/3WqPXUY #ultrasonic

This article looks at three examples that show how integrating #simulation into product development helped teams create an optimal end product. bit.ly/4gz28sS #multiphysics

#Humanmachineinterfaces are more critical than ever in ensuring safe, responsive autonomous systems. This article explains why engineers are rethinking #HMI design. bit.ly/3TuNBJb

Most of us are aware that prolonged exposure to the sun can wreak havoc on rubber, polymers, and other synthetics, rendering them weak and brittle. But prolonged exposure to the sun can also cause problems inside a hydraulic system. bit.ly/3MDgeuG

This article examines the #engineering principles behind high-speed #beltdrives and linkages, as well as the application-specific criteria designers should consider when choosing the right motion system. bit.ly/4A3s0br
