How to Add Robots to Your Machine
Integrating a single controller that can manage a machine and robots, compared to using separate controllers, can enable faster development for the OEM and increased reliability for the end user. Machine builders are increasingly integrating robotics to maximise productivity and efficiency. But, these advantages can only be achieved if the machine and robot can reliably…
