Helping Robots Stay on Target

Both accuracy and repeatability are key performance characteristics that influence the robot's ability to meet a manufacturing process's needs.
Elena Messina Jeremy Marvel
December 2, 2019
No Comments

For decades, many manufacturers have counted on robots to tirelessly produce parts of predictable quality. One of the key attributes of robots is their repeatability, which means that their tool tip will return to the same pre-programmed location with a known and relatively small error.

3 Comments

At IMTS 2018, like at any industrial trade show, the predominant theme was Industry 4.0. Although Industry 4.0 still has not scaled up to cover a significant percentage of manufacturing setups, its vision of near-total automation—and the promise of resulting cost savings—has clearly captured the industry’s imagination.
