The SIMATIC IOT2000 module from Siemens is an Arduino-compatible shield that enables additional digital and analogue input/output (I/O) connectivity in an industrial environment.
This video from igus is an elaborate demonstration of a book scanner using a robolink articulated arm to turn the pages automatically between each page scan. Available from igus as a modular system, robolink opens up a world of possibilities for low-cost robotics.
CC-Link IE offers a way of providing high speed Ethernet to the factory floor. It also brings Gigabit Ethernet to the field device level and allows seamless movement of data through one or more network levels.
With a need to meet the growing demand for its products and to shorten lead times, HepcoMotion invested in a KUKA robot to automate the loading and unloading of one of its CNC milling machines.
This video is the last in a four-part series demonstrating how quick and easy it is to build your own robotic systems using modular, low-cost and easy-to-assemble robolink kits from igus.
