GuidesTechnology5 minRobot external axes: what they are and how they are coordinatedWhat it means for a robot to have 7, 8, or more axes: external axes, coordinated kinematics, and when each configuration makes sense.ReadGuidesWelding4 minRobotic TIG welding: when it makes senseQuality and control versus speed: when robotic TIG is justified and what it demands from part preparation.ReadGuidesSelection5 minHow to calculate a robot's payload: what to add upPart, tooling, cables, and dynamics: what payload actually adds up to, and how to avoid the most common reason cells get redesigned.ReadGuidesWelding5 minRobotic MIG/MAG welding: process, gases and wiresContinuous wire, gas, and parameters: what defines the feasibility of a MIG/MAG cell and what should be validated on real parts.ReadGuidesAssessment5 minWhen automating an operation pays off and how to assess itLook at the whole operation, compare options and run the numbers: savings, repeatable quality, continuity, safety and flexibility.ReadGuidesAssessment4 minChecklist to quote a robotic cellThe quality of a quote depends on the input information. This list organizes what to have before asking for numbers.ReadGuidesGetting started5 minRobot integrator: what it does and how to choose oneThe integrator picks the robot, builds the cell and leaves it running. What the job includes, what to ask before buying, and when a multi-brand integrator makes sense.ReadGuidesSelection4 minHow to define the robot reach you needReach is not a maximum distance in a brochure: it is the real space where the tool must arrive and orient itself.ReadGuidesSelection6 minRobot or special machine: when not to use a robotFlexibility does not always win: with a stable product and volume, a dedicated machine can deliver more. Criteria to decide when a robot fits — and when not.ReadGuidesWelding6 minRobotic welding without programming each part: how it worksLaser scanning, 3D model and arc tracking: how a robot welds beams and structures that are never the same without anyone teaching it every point.ReadGuidesWelding6 minHow to prepare parts for robotic welding: fit-up, gap and bevelHow far a part can deviate, what gap a fillet tolerates and how a bevel must be prepared for the robot to weld it right the first time.ReadGuidesSelection5 minFixed, rail or gantry robot: which one fits your partWhat part size a fixed robot covers, when a rail is needed, when to hang it, and what 8 and 9-axis configurations are for.ReadGuidesIndustries6 minRobots in mining: which tasks can be automated todayInspection, labs, hardfacing wear parts, cathodes and palletizing: where a robot pays off in a mining operation and what to solve first.ReadGuidesSelection6 minIndustrial robot or cobot: when each one fitsA cobot is not automatically better: the application rules. Payload, cycle, safety, space, and total cost define when an industrial robot fits and when a cobot does.ReadGuidesIntegration4 minCommissioning an industrial robot: testing and acceptanceInterfaces, testing, acceptance, and support: the milestones between equipment selection and stable operation.ReadGuidesSelection5 minSCARA or 6-axis robot: how to chooseTwo kinematics, two ways of working: how to decide between SCARA and six axes based on part, travel, and cycle.ReadGuidesMaterial handling4 minHow to assess a palletizing projectPatterns, product formats, material flow, and available space shape the solution design.ReadGuidesWelding4 minWhat to assess before integrating robotic weldingParts, sequences, fixtures, and process variation all matter when assessing a welding cell.ReadNewsNews2 minRobotics news: verified projects and data onlyWe will share verified updates as projects and authorized sources become available.ReadNewsNews2 minHow we choose the robot: process first, catalog secondEquipment selection starts from process requirements, not from an isolated catalog.ReadNewsNews2 minGist Point adds industrial robot integrationA new area to assess, design, and integrate industrial robotics solutions.Read
