Articulated Robot Industry Overview
The articulated robot market is highly fragmented with a large robotics manufacturers such as FANUC, KUKA, ABB among others. Product launches, high expense on research and development, etc. are the prime growth strategies adopted by these companies to sustain the intense competition. Few recent developments are:
- January 2020 - Stäubli International AG partnered with Sepro Group to produce a Model 6X-60 6-axis robot and a 3-axis Success 5 unit at Swiss Plastics Expo 2020. It is designed to serve injection-molding machines with up to 100 tons of clamp, it has a maximum payload capacity of 9 kg and an operating radius of up to 920 mm.
- July 2020- ABB Limited's new 3D quality inspection (3DQI) robot cell, which is capable of detecting defects of less than half the width of a human hair and imperceptible to the naked eye, significantly accelerates the production process by providing fast, accurate testing to make metrology easier and less time consuming.
