Industrial robots are said to be very well defined in their design and task. The Robotics Industry Association, RIA, defines them to be:
‘reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulators designed to move material, parts, tools or specialized devices through variable programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks.’
But what about “multi-function”? What if a robot could be a router, a 3D printer that accepts G Codes from a CAD-CAM program, a laser measuring and QC device, an ultrasonic welder and an adhesive dispensing device?
Futura Automation has the answer to this question. We can deliver multi-purpose Cartesian robots utilizing the toolsets of Servotronix, Macron Dynamics and Motion Solutions for motor drives, robot controllers and mechanical actuators.
