Cole Technologies, Inc, located in Columbus, Indiana, are a certified Universal Robots system integrator supplying automation systems specializing in pick and place, deburring, and plastic part trimming applications. One recent project involved the deflashing of molded parts where a more accurate robot path was deemed necessary.
June 4, 2024 Selecting the right servo motor is a nuanced process vital for the optimal performance of a linear or rotary motion system. While manufacturers provide helpful sizing tools, a deep understanding of the key parameters—speed, torque, and inertia—is crucial. This whitepaper expands on these factors, aiming to simplify this complex task. Inertia: The…
When choosing a motor for robotics, do you really need to compromise? Kollmorgen looks at three trade-offs commonly encountered when customers select a motor for a robotic application. In this article, they explore these challenges – and provide insights, so you do not necessarily have to make a compromise.

Electrical enclosures need cooling units in order to enhance performance and prevent failure. The acceptable operating temperature for most electrical devices exceeds 40 °C (104 °F). Devices often placed in cooling enclosures include variable frequency drives (VFDs), servo drives, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), starter kits, power supplies, inverters, relays, terminal blocks, indicator lights, and transformers.
In the world of motors, efficiency is king. It is apparent that consumers are looking for not only efficiency in cost to operate but also in ability to get the task done quickly. When converting electricity into rotational motion via motors, a major contributing factor to efficiency is the type of motor, such as a DC motor, used to keep the momentum going.
Weidmüller’s scalable engineering software, u-control 2000, adapts individually to your requirements. And, the u-control is powerful, compact and fully compatible with Weidmüller’s I/O system u-remote. This article looks at what makes u-control the heart of your automation.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are one of the main components of any automated system. A typical control system has inputs, outputs, controllers (i.e., PLCs), and some type of human interaction with the system, a human machine interface (HMI), for example.
July 18, 2024 In this article, you will learn what the most common mistakes are when selecting Industrial Ethernet and bus cables and how to avoid them. All cables and wires that contribute to communication in any way are commonly referred to as data cables. However, there are significant differences such as the multitude of… Read More…
