Integrate a Robot for Polishing
Posted: December 09, 2008

 

Take the drudgery out of polishing with a robot that's specifically integrated for the task. This common finishing process is time-consuming and repetitive, but industrial robots provide an excellent solution.

RobotWorx carries a wide variety of new and reconditioned robots. Choose a robot that fits your reach requirements and we'll help you integrate a robot to fit your polishing needs. See our work demonstrated in this polishing robot video.

 The Advantages of Polishing Robots

  • Repeatability - Robots are able to carry out the same task again and again. This level of precision is ideal for polishing jobs that involve a great deal of repetition.

  • Quality - When you integrate a robot for polishing expect consistent, even results. Polish objects to a shimmering finish with robots.

  • Speed - Robots are programmed to polish objects to a specific quality for a specific time. Cycle times are consistent and shortened. This reliability often leads to increased throughput.

  • Safety - Polishing creates dust that can prove hazardous to workers. Manual polishing often requires the use of environmentally dangerous chemicals, whereas robots only use hardened disks.

Low Cost Robot Systems: The Economic Solution
Posted: December 03, 2008

Nearly every business is feeling the crunch of tough times right now. Don't let economic uncertainty force your company to fall behind. Now's the time to automate, not hibernate!

Low cost, used robotic systems offer a cheap and reliable way to remain competitive. They are an inexpensive alternative to relocating your company overseas or downsizing. Explore the top reasons to choose low cost robot systems:

  1. Low Initial Investment
    Low cost robotic systems are the most affordable way to automate. When you buy a reconditioned robot system you can save as much as 60% off the cost of a comparable new robot system.

  2. High ROI
    The initial investment is not only affordable, it is pays for itself many times over! Because of their low cost and incredible reliability, used robots offer an excellent return on investment (ROI).  

  3. Better Productivity
    Remain in the competition by producing more product. Because of their repeatability, speed, and consistency, low cost used robotic systems allow you to streamline your process. This often leads to increases in cycle time, throughput, and overall output.  

  4. Top Quality
    Used robots are capable of performing applications with great dexterity and precision. Robot repeatability guarantees high quality results at all times. Automation allows you to conserve materials, further minimizing costs.

  5. Greater Part Accessibility
    Choose used robots and you can save on maintenance costs too. Replacement parts for used robotic systems are readily available and more affordable. RobotWorx offers a full inventory of used robotic parts at inexpensive prices.

  6. Programming
    Are your robot programmers familiar with specific robot software? If so, you can save a considerable amount of time and cost by buying used robotic systems with software your technicians know.

  7. Workforce Restructuring/Safety
    Robots are reliable, tireless workers that don't require breaks, insurance, or vacations. With an affordable used robotic system you can redirect your entire workforce to jobs with more responsibilities. Since robots take over repetitive, dangerous jobs, they help you save on insurance and accident costs.

Free Training in Fanuc Programming
Posted: November 18, 2008

The best way to learn about robotic programming is by doing. That's why RobotWorx puts the teach pendant in your hands before your robot even leaves the building. One of the benefits we offer customers is free programming training at our Ohio facility.

If for instance, your company purchases a Fanuc robot system from RobotWorx, we'd invite you to visit for as long as is needed for Fanuc programming training. However, one day is often sufficient to learn all the basics.

RobotWorx' training approach is very hands-on. Our technicians will provide you with one-on-one instruction about your robot system's design and safety features. Working directly with your robot or a similar model, we'll teach you the fundamentals of Fanuc programming - how to use the teach pendant and navigate through specific software. We encourage customers to bring in sample parts to make programming training even more relevant.

For more information about Fanuc programming and training, contact RobotWorx at 740-383-8383.
