FANUC South Africa Showcases Collaborative Robots and New Welding Tech at Machine Tools Africa Exhibition
William, the sales manager at FANUC South Africa, discussed the company’s robotics offerings at the recent Machine Tools Africa exhibition. The focus was on two key areas: educational robots and collaborative robots.
Collaborative robots, a relatively new and popular technology, are designed to work safely alongside humans. This is particularly useful in situations where human skill is irreplaceable, but physical assistance is needed, such as handling heavy objects. Additionally, robots can provide greater accuracy and stability in some tasks.
Machine Tools Africa 2024 provided an opportunity to showcase the latest advancements in robotics. This includes improved speed and accuracy of robotic arms, as well as new 3D camera systems.
William also highlighted some of the specific products on display, including arc welding robots with seam checking systems. These systems can automatically adjust welding parameters to account for variations in the product, ensuring a high-quality weld.
FANUC South Africa also launched a new product at the exhibition: the 28-tool Robodrill with 500mm travel. This new tool offers increased versatility and reach for various applications.
Overall, the exhibition was a success for FANUC South Africa, generating a lot of interest from potential customers. The company’s focus on collaborative robots and innovative welding technology positions them well to meet the evolving needs of the robotics industry.
The Machine Tools Africa 2024 exhibition was a hotbed of innovation, and FANUC South Africa was at the forefront, showcasing how their latest technologies can help businesses thrive.
