Robotics & Automated Guided Vehicles

Some integral parts of robots that enable mobility and joints controllability are commonly ignored in the presentation of industrial robots. There are some basic materials such as the linear axes, electronic components, vision, grippers, motors for conveying systems, micro actuators, linear actuators, screw jacks, processors and drives that give robots that necessary presence of “being”, utility and functionality. A critical look shows that products such as ball screws, joints, linear, drives and electrical components are more or less what make a robot live up to its full potential.

Some of the manufacturers producing these parts include for example, IPR, which designs alignment devices, grippers, tool changes and force & torque sensors.

 

Laser guided robots and automated guided vehicles with vision can be found at E & K Automation and Skilled EUROIMPIANTI.



A robotics company that is very much engaged in the automation, service and entertainment segments is BlueBotics.

Having used these companies as a substantial case, in regard to autonomous navigation technology, we can state that they are interesting mechanical systems that give robots their functionality, and I suggest that you visit these links to see these kinetic-based products that give robots control over their movements and vision.
