They offer robotic systems that cater for welding, palletising, handling, vision picking, sheet metal bending, cutting and trimming, painting, spot welding, conveyor solutions and simulations.
The company has to deal with new market requirements, companies producing an increasingly wide range of products and shorter life cycles, the growing focus on Industry 4.0, sustainability and connectivity with the digital revolution. With this in mind one of their major success stories has been with Atlantis Foundries. Over six years ago Atlantis Foundries embarked on a process that has paved the way to the company becoming a Smart Foundry by embracing the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Robotic Innovations has helped Atlantis Foundries revolutionise the foundry industry by using a robotic 3D camera system. Additionally, a number of processes and robots have been implemented to further organise the various areas of the foundry and to streamline the operations.
The latest project to be completed at Atlantis Foundries by Robotic Innovations is the automation of core assembly handling. Robotic Innovations uses FANUC robots for picking and placing as well as core trimming. The full story can be read at https://online.fliphtml5.com/fcuca/jdbb/#p=10
