Should Santa automate factory with robotics?

Should Santa automate factory with robotics?

The experts at Beckhoff UK explain how robotics and automation can optimise workflow in factories as complex as a Santa’s and relieve pressure on the elves. Santa’s workshop is known for being pretty busy 364 days a year, especially around Christmas season. Elves are at the heart of production, helping Santa meet demand, before the […]

6-axis hydraulic manipulator for nuclear decommissioning

6-axis hydraulic manipulator for nuclear decommissioning

A powerful, 6-axis hydraulic manipulator arm designed for use in the nuclear decommissioning industry relies on a motion control system from Moog. The company was approached by James Fisher Nuclear (JFN) for the hydraulic motion system, including modelling and simulating the product design. A manipulator arm is used to grasp and move materials without direct […]
