Sepro America and Absolute Haitian Corp. during NPE2018 issued a joint statement that Sepro-built three-axis, five-axis and six-axis robots will be available as options on new Haitian and Zhafir plastic injection-molding machines sold in the United States and Canada.
In the past, if a purchaser of a Haitian and Zhafir injection molding machine wanted a Sepro robot, they needed to purchase it separately. Now, it can be sold with the IMM and the robots will have a user interface based on Sepro’s Visual robot control that is fully integrated and accessible from the Haitian or Zhafir IMM operator interface. All control settings and robot data will be accessible through the IMM control panel.
“This integrated offering gets to the heart of the benefits customers will experience with Industry 4.0,” Glenn Frohring, one of the owners of Absolute Haitian, the exclusive distributor of Haitian and Zhafir equipment in the United States and Canada, said in a press release. “It allows customers to select products in a way that makes sense for them, rather than being boxed into single-supplier solutions.”

Absolute Haitian technicians, trained by Sepro, will provide after-sale service.
Sepro wants to simplify the operation of robots used in packages with Haitian and Zhafir injection molding equipment throughout North America, Jim Healy, vice president of sales and marketing for Sepro America, said in a prepared statement.
“The easier we can make it for molders to manage their process comprehensively from a single operator station, the more efficient the machine cell’s production will be,” he said.
The Absolute Haitian-Sepro America agreement follows a similar announcement last October by Haitian International Germany and Sepro Group in France in which Sepro robots were offered with integrated controls on Haitian IMMs sold throughout
Europe. In other news, Sepro showcased its five-axis 7X-45 robot at NPE. It is one of the first Sepro robots ever built outside of France. Sepro’s 7X-45 is the first of 40 robots that Sepro America plans to build this year at its plant in Warrendale, Pa., Healy said. The 7X-45 configuration adds the precision of a two-axis Staubli CNC wrist to the flexibility of a large three-axis Sepro Cartesian beam robot, enabling it to handle technically demanding parts at high production speeds on injection-molding machines of up to 1,300 tons.
I will be analyzing the essay “Class in America --2012”. The topic of this essay is talking about does it matter what your social and economical standings are, and do they play a role in if you succeed in life. I personally agree with this. If someone is hard working and willing to do the job then I feel that they can be successful. Their background, race, and social and economical standings don’t justify everything that they are. Mantsios effectively communicates the phenomenon of stereotyping certain races, genders, and social classes will be more successful than others in America.
Alexis de Tocqueville and Langston Hughes both have their own ideas about what America is, was, and should be. Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America praises American democracy in which everyone is included. This inclusion allows for democracy that everyone can be a part of and feel like they are contributing. On the contrary, Langston Hughes’s “Let America Be America Again” depicts an excluding America that does not treat everyone equivalently. Hughes portrays America as a misrepresentation that does not uphold the ideals that it is so famous for. The two works contrast in many ways but do have some similarities. Although their ideas are different, politics is still a choice. Tocqueville describes politics as a choice that everyone should make as it benefits them all while Hughes describes politics as a choice that some do not have the power to take part in. The differing sentiments between Democracy in America and “Let America Be America Again” stem
Some of the issues presented above resulted from inefficiencies in the two distinct processes taking place in the same production facility at Custom Molds, namely the Molds Fabrication process and the Parts Production process (Exhibit 1a and b). The two processes serve different customer needs. Mold fabrication, a skill oriented and craftsman-driven process, requires flexibility and quality. Parts manufacturing, on the other hand, involves a more standardized process that competes on delivery and low cost. The margin for parts is also much smaller.
Four years of my life have passed away in a blink! I remember entering freshmen year of
The Da Vinci robot is part of the Biomedical Engineering industry. The industry is concerned with the application of engineering principles and techniques to the medical field. It combines expertise from medical and engineering disciplines to improve healthcare systems. The industry is very innovative and most universities now offer training in biomedical engineering. This is because it has always been a highly specialised field and required a designer to have both medical and engineering training and experience.
The possibilities 3D printing can achieve are countless. This might be the most controversial and impactful technology of the future, as Hod Lipson quotes again, “When it costs you the same amount of manufacturing effort to make advanced robotic parts as it does to manufacture a paperweight, that really changes things in a profound way”
Surgical robotics is a relatively new technology. Robots have taken a new direction in many different areas from being used in labs, stores, constructions and many more as an extension of one’s capability. Robots previously thought as entertainment are soon transformed into useful tools in the field
The number of robots used in industry increases every year as more companies realize their many benefits. Robots are the future of the manufacturing industry. As the performance and flexibility of robots increases and their prices continue to drop, many companies will uses these added incentives to invest in the future. Soon every company that has an application for a robot will be forced to invest in one, to stay competitive in the world market.
The idea of creating and printing customized items for ones home, is no longer one found in a science fiction novel. The household level of production brought by 3D printers is a perfect example of the new technologies range of applications and its enormous innovation potential. Picture it this way; you have been looking for the perfect lampshade that ...
Additive manufacturing technology, more commonly known as 3D printing, is changing the world as we know it. Within the last few years, the 3D printing revolution has pioneered a new way of hyper-local manufacturing, allowing for the production of new things that were previously impossible to make. The rapidly evolving technology is making people wonder, “What will be next?” Avi Reichental, the President and CEO of 3D Systems, is the man with the answer. As the owner of the world’s first and largest 3D printing company, Reichental is on the forefront of 3D printing. In the TED Talk “What’s next in 3D printing,” Reichental advocates 3D printing technology as a way to propel society into the future while also connecting people to their heritage.
When printing a 3D object the end-user of the 3D printer must first produce a 3D image of the end product that they want to print by using an application software called computer-assisted design. The CAD software program send the end-user desired object onto hundred or thousand horizontal layers. All the layers are then placed on top of each other in a one-by-one manner until the whole 3D object develops.
The continuing advancements in technology have always been in the forefront of shaping the future. The future is not considered a guaranteed thing and no one knows 100% of what it holds. One emerging trend that will have an effect on the economy, politics and government, and myself will be the use of automation for the future. Automation includes “Information technology (IT), Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), Numerically controlled (NC) equipment, Robots, Flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), and Computer integrated manufacturing (CIM).” (Advameg, 2017) Automated services could have both a positive and a negative effect on various aspect of the future.
For many years robots have been used in factories and manufacturing processes to help humans do simple jobs. In the past robots were used for huge tasks such as in the production of a car by welding it or painting it. The future of robots in factories and manufacturing lies in the change of their utility. Robots are now being developed to do small tasks that take a high rate of precision. They also are being made to be smaller and easily reprogrammable, so they can do more than just one task in a singular location. The transition of robots taking a bigger role in the manufacturing process which forces out human workers is because of the reliability of having a consistent worker. Infosys an AI research company states, “ With robots attaining greater degrees of sensitivity in their touch capabilities, savvy manufactures are embracing robotics in greater volume to increase efficiency and work rates on production, picking and packing lines” (Limited, 2017) With robots becoming more advanced and cheaper to buy and operate many businesses have switched to robotics instead of workers. Robots can work continuously without stopping for a lunch break or to go home every 8 hours. In areas of the world that have high wages, robots are becoming an easy way for companies to cut cost by firing human employees they no longer need. They do not require a lot of training, which is an added cost to a company every time they hire a new human employee. Robots can also take over jobs that are dangerous for a human to do and perform the task at a higher success rate as well. In February of 2017 an article written by Kristin Houser explained how, a precision technology company in China replaced 90% of human employees with robots and saw 250% increase in production. A few of the issues with robots include the time needed to integrate and program
There are many different types of robots. To be exact, there are are six main types of industrial robots: cartesian, SCARA, cylindrical, delta, polar and vertically articulated. However, there are several additional types of robot configurations. Each of these types offers a different joint configuration. Each type has a different function and can do the things other robots cannot do.
