About Industrial Robots
Industrial robotics is the technology used to automate a variety of manufacturing processes across different industries such as automotive, food and beverage, and electrical and electronics. Industrial robots are programmed to automate and control manufacturing processes such as arc welding, spot welding, materials handling, machine tending, picking, packing and palletizing, assembly, mechanical cutting, grinding, deburring and polishing, gluing, adhesive sealing and spraying materials, and other applications including inspection, water jet cutting, and soldering.
A leader in custom manufacturing for outdoor power equipment, Standby Screw Machine Products Co., is leveraging Rethink Robotics' two-armed Baxter robot in two separate applications to increase flexibility and consistency in its manufacturing operations and better compete on a global stage.
