Fanuc UK will be demonstrating the ease and affordability of automated picking, packing and palletising at this year’s PPMA event.

Fanuc is launching a new robot controller, which will facilitate the integration of automation and robotics processes, at this year’s Interpack in Germany.

Fanuc 3D area sensors enable robots to recognise and pick up randomly positioned objects.

Industrial robots are automated moving devices with multiple axes. Motion paths, sequences and angles can be freely programmed and controlled by sensors.

When implementing a robot cell one of the major considerations must be the safety of operators working in the area of the cell who also occasionally need to enter it.

Ensuring worker safety should be the prime consideration in all robot applications, especially when humans and robots may need to share the same workspace. Darren Whittall reports.

Factory automation business FANUC has consolidated its UK support operations to provide a clearer route for product sales and after sales support. FANUC will now provide a central customer contact point for its three UK core businesses, FANUC FA, FANUC Robotics and FANUC Robomachine. The new structure follows on from the announcement, last October, that FANUC’s Luxembourg headquarter operations would amalgamate to ‘project a strong corporate image Europe-wide’.
