For decades, the moving line kept precision robots out of General Assembly. If a part won't stop, you fixture it, index it, or slow the line down. FANUC America Corporation just published a good piece on what's changing. It's about Stream Motion, their real-time external motion option. It lets an outside system steer the robot's path while the controller keeps every move inside safe limits, so the robot can follow a part that's still moving. That's where Inbolt comes in. We mount a 3D camera on the robot wrist, locate the part in 6DoF, and stream corrected commands into the FANUC controller through Stream Motion. The robot tracks parts down a live conveyor and runs the job, screwdriving, dispensing, de-racking, without stopping the line. Credit to FANUC for opening up trajectory control at this level. Being one of the first to run it in real factories has been a strong partnership. š Read the article to learn more: https://lnkd.in/ez8NePvP See it live at Automate Show in Chicago, June 22-25, on the moving line at both our booths.
