Robot Machining

Robot Machining with IONA by INSPHERE The Challenge Robots typically rely on their repeatability to perform automated operations but there are some tasks where inherent accuracy is just as important. One example of this is robot machining operations, particularly so...

Predictive Maintenance for Automation

The Challenge When a robot fails in production, unplanned downtime can cost over £10,000 per minute in high throughput systems. As mechanical systems, robots are also subject to wear and tear and their positional accurate can ‘drift’ over time. This can result in...

Rapid, Automated Commissioning

The Challenge Typically, robots rely on their repeatability not their accuracy. When a robot first moves to a programmed position it may only get there to within +/- 2mm. It will however always go back to that same position to within +/-0.05mm. This lack of accuracy...
