Cartesian And Six-axis: Which System Is Best For Your Industrial Application?
As more manufacturers automate their operations to improve productivity and competitiveness, different robotic systems have become available to perform a diversity of production tasks. Cartesian systems have been a workhorse in production facilities, while systems with articulated arms — such as the increasingly popular six-axis robot — have emerged to handle more nimble tasks. Depending on the application, there are clear rationale for using a Cartesian and clear rationale for using a six-axis system. Here’s an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of each so you can select the right one based on your application needs:
Tips for Selecting an Industrial-Strength Telescoping Linear Motion Guide
Industrial applications that require telescoping motion often have operating conditions that can compromise ordinary telescoping guides. Whether it’s continuous use, heavy loads or harsh environments, telescoping linear guides for industrial uses have to exhibit durability and reliability. That begins with heavy duty construction and finishes that can withstand the elements. As you choose a telescoping guide for industrial applications, remember these criteria to be sure you get the reliable motion that the job requires.
Medical Moves
Medical imaging systems contain so many high-tech electronic elements that it’s all too easy to overlook the mechanical components that contribute to the success or failure of these systems in the field.
