Adept Robots in High Speed Action

Ultra High Speed Robot  

At the Adept Global Conference for automated equipment we got to see first hand, the speed and dexterity of the Adept Quattro s650 robot. This robot is fast and quite flexible in more ways than one. It is great for high speed packaging, manufacturing, assembly kitting, pick and place, and other assembly applications. The Quattro is a parallel robot designed for ultra-high-speeds. With an innovative four parallel arms design, this robot is great for quick picks. When coupled with conveyor belts, vision systems, and the large working envelope and work range, along with integrating various robot tooling end effectors such as vacuum cups and grippers, it is easy to see how this robot is a great pick for all types of product manufacturing and assembly applications. Some of the robotic applications include: food handling, material handling, packaging, electrical and mechanical assembly, testing, inspection, dispensing, and routing. Robotics Integration The industries using robots today are equally diverse. Food manufacturers, automotive, pharmaceutical, solar wafer handling, solar module production, consumer products manufacturing, and all types of industrial applications are ideally suited for robotic automation. Contact Probe Industries today for automated equipment maintenance and repair services.

Robots are used for everything now it seems. Robotic Food Handling companies also use very sophisticated machinery. Humans won't be required soon!!!

Maintain Those Air Compressors And Air Dryers

Image
With the cost to purchase new drilling and routing machines at hundreds of thousands of dollars, it makes economical sense to provide oil free, and dry air to the equipment. With the new synthetic oils being used to lubricate the internal mechanical parts of compressor systems today, many overlook the fact that these oils that help compressors run efficiently are the same oils that contaminate and destroy the rubber "O" rings, seals, and solenoids used throughout the entire manufacturing facility when compressors are not functioning at top performance. Many times, years later, equipment that has been run with contaminated compressed air will have a life long list of problems that seems to never go away. "O" rings and seals are not the only items that can become damaged with poor air quality. The air hoses themselves can become rotten from the inside out. Many of the synthetic oils actually breakdown the rubber hoses to the point where they become super soft in which...

Measuring TIR Spindle Bearing Runout On Your CNC Machine

Image
Spindle Runout Problems Can Be Your Hidden Quality Issues In Building Reliable Printed Circuit Boards The simple definition of spindle radial runout is how much wobble a spindle produces at the nose. Axial runout is the measurement of how much play there is perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The reading is represented by Total Indicated Runout, TIR, which means the distance measured between the largest plus direction and the largest minus direction for a total indicated amount. A spindle can be measured either dynamically (at speed) or statically. The dynamic measurement is by far, the most accurate and requires special non-contact measuring devices. Today's air bearing spindles have gotten faster with higher precision than the ball bearing spindles of the past. Air bearing PCB spindles can typically be found running in the 120K RPM through 180K RPM ranges, with some spindles running up at 300,000 RPMs. Since the spindle air bearings are floating on air, no mechanical contact...

Checkout Used Excellon Equipment Before Buying

Everyone wants a great deal on Excellon machines or any used equipment. With many circuit board shops closing down, and their equipment being auctioned off, it is wise to have the machines checked out before buying. The Tale Of The Uninformed Used Equipment Purchase Excellon, Kennard, PDA, Pluritec, Hitachi, Mania, Klingelnberg, Advanced Controls, Trudrill, ESI, Dynamotion, ATI, Wessel, DAC, and other PCB drilling and fabrication equipment, that supposedly were running before being shut down have cost thousands of dollars to the unsuspecting buyer when buying blindly online through an auction or even the buyer looking at the machine in person. Instead of having a qualified and experienced service technician inspect the machines, buyers go it alone. Buyers think they are getting a great deal, but many times what they are getting is a big boat anchor. The outside of the machines can look all beautiful and cleaned up, while the inside is falling apart. We have seen machines that looked l...
