United Robotics strives to partner with America's manufacturers to increase throughput, repeatability and quality.
Selecting a robot or robotic cell involves more than just satisfying a reach and payload requirement. URI can help your company choose a robot with the options and capabilities that will maximize your capital investment dollars.
Fixtures or tooling for robotics and automation serve a variety of functions such as holding, squaring, forming, placing, sensing, clamping, minimizing weld spatter, tacking, and datum alignment. URI designs, builds, modifies, tests, and automates tooling for the production needs of many industries. Allow our engineers to review your part models to create a tool that will maximize the capacity of your automation initiative.
With the advent of welding inverters, control of the welding arc has achieved new levels of precision. Let our team develop parameters specific to your alloy and application that will maximize deposition efficiency and travel speed while minimizing heat input.
The American Welding Society has established various certifications to train and test individuals so that they may transmit welding knowledge to others. URI has several of these certifications, including (3) CWS, (2) CRAW-T, (2) CWI, and (1) CWE. What do all those letters mean? They mean that we are serious about being prepared to demystify welding for general industry and help your company capture the most savings in your welding process.
As part of most customized robot configurations, URI is capable of hosting an in-house factory acceptance test (FAT). Aside from proving the capabilities of the cell, allow us to complete your pre-production parts for additional testing and client approval.
No robotic cell is complete without operators to program and manage cell functions. URI has experienced robotic technicians and programmers on staff ready to train your operators on your equipment. Learn about the unique functions and options of the equipment purchased with an in-house training initiative. Training credits from OEM's are also available upon purchase of new equipment.
The robotic cell has been purchased, programmed, and the production staff has been trained, now the staff realize they need a new load height or sync point in the program. URI is very adept at answering your requests with pragmatic solutions, service and on-time repairs. Our robotic technicians are ready to travel to your location and keep your production active.
There are numerous ways in which vision can be utilized, such as picking, inspection, palletizing, identification, packing, sorting, etc. Vision can be used to quickly and accurately provide robotic path correction and adapt to varying position and orientation. It can identify the presence or absence of key characteristics, or ensure parts do not exceed given tolerances. We can help you decide if vision is suited for your application and integrate it for you when it is.
Complete system integration between the Robot and PLC controllers keep the entire process in sync and allows for greater system flexibility. Whether it's DeviceNet, Modbus, or Ethernet/IP, URI implements robust communication to interface from any PLC device to your robot.
The operator using a system needs an intuitive interface to maximize the functionality of a robotic cell. An HMI from United Robotics keeps operations straightforward and diagnostics understandable. We’ll customize your HMI to meet your exacting standards.
Despite years of technological leaps and continued refinement of robotic automation there are still attributes that have not been considered or exploited. URI is currently working on pragmatic and creative solutions to cutting, welding, vision, seam tracking and material handling applications. Our R&D goal is to broaden the appeal of automation to industries that felt that robotics was not adaptable enough to fulfill their needs.
