Choosing the right spindle for a robotic milling cell is not about buying “the most powerful one” and calling it a day. Several factors are involved: the application (material, tool, MRR), the rpm/torque window, the tool interface, cooling/duty‑cycle, and in robotics the weight and moments that the robot arm must withstand. If these factors are

For years, CNC machinery has been the benchmark for precision in industrial machining. However, the evolution of robotics — especially refurbished robots equipped with high‑performance spindles — is reshaping the landscape. More and more factories are now asking themselves: Is it really worth replacing a CNC with a robotic milling cell? The answer depends on

AI IN ROBOTIC ARMS FOR DETECTING PRODUCTION FAILURES

Failure detection in production has historically relied on a combination of human inspection, statistical controls, and traditional sensors. However, the increasing complexity of processes, the pressure to reduce scrap, and the need for real-time traceability have highlighted clear limits in these approaches. In this context, a frequently asked question on the shop floor is: How

What level of accuracy and repeatability can you expect from an industrial robot?

Spec sheets vs shop-floor reality On paper everything looks precise. In production you face tolerances, scrap risk, manual tweaks, and material variability. The honest question is: “Will the robot actually be more accurate than what we do today?” Accuracy vs repeatability Repeatability The robot’s ability to return to the same point over and over.

In many automation projects, the real bottleneck is not hardware or mechanical integration: it’s robot programming. Fine adjustments, repeated trials, last‑minute changes, and dependencies with other systems often extend commissioning far beyond expectations. A common question among engineering and production managers is: ➡️ What practical strategies can reduce robot programming time without sacrificing robustness or

CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS FOR INTEGRATING MACHINE VISION IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY

Machine vision has become one of the most in-demand technologies in the food industry. Quality control, inspection, sorting, traceability, and robotic guidance are now processes almost unimaginable without vision systems. However, real-world plant environments differ greatly from marketing promises: integrating machine vision in food production requires facing specific technical, operational, and regulatory challenges. Unstable lighting,

WHAT REAL-WORLD WELDING PROBLEMS CAN BE SOLVED WITH ROBOTIC AUTOMATION?

In industrial welding, the most expensive problems rarely come from the welding process itself but from its variability: differences between operators, inconsistent travel speed, positioning errors, or human fatigue. Robotic automation—especially in MIG/MAG and TIG welding—is widely used across the world to eliminate recurring failures that affect quality, production time, and cost per part. This

This question rarely appears when a robot first arrives on the production floor. It emerges months later. When everything works. When the cell is producing. When nobody questions the arm, the gearbox, or the repeatability anymore. The doubt appears in front of a screen: A pending update. A license about to expire. A file that

Who Owns the Data Generated by a Robotic Cell: the Customer, the Supplier, or the Robot Manufacturer?

As robotic automation becomes increasingly connected and data‑driven, a question that once seemed secondary is now unavoidable: Who actually owns the data generated by an industrial robot? This is not a trivial issue. In many modern automation projects, operational data holds as much strategic value as the physical production itself. What Data Does an Industrial
