FANUC and Inbolt Automate Moving Assembly Lines With Robots

1 month ago | control.com | Seth Price

Assembly lines have been ubiquitous in manufacturing for over a century. Robots have been a “recent” addition, perhaps going mainstream 60 years ago with Unimate, the first industrial robot. Putting the two together is nothing new. However, a big challenge not met until recently is how to integrate a quick-thinking robot that can perform tasks on a moving assembly line. A collaboration between FANUC and Inbolt has led to the development of a solution for this challenge.
