An Interview with Dr. Michael Büchsner, CEO Stabilus Group about about the acquisition of the manufacturer Destaco
The growth opportunities for AI and robotics in manufacturing are vast and projected to reach $182 billion globally by 2027. Companies that fail to adopt these exponentially advancing technologies as part of their process risk falling behind, as smart factories powered by intelligent machines become the norm.
We spoke to Michael Mayer-Rosa, Senior Director Industrial Automation Business Group, Delta Electronics EMEA region about the newly introduced Delta Electronics collaborative robots.
Eight cores unlock advanced virtualization potential
Software Update enhances applicational possibilities
For lightweight robots, modular designs are increasingly popular thanks to the flexible deployment they enable for specialised tasks. Modular robots also enhancing the potential for system integrators and end users to develop their own designs. As part of an in-house robot build, optimising the drive train that powers and controls each joint is vital to the robot’s performance. The most effective way of achieving this is by developing the drive train as a complete module. This approach can also improve the efficiency of robot development overall.
