Users of TM Robotics' Toshiba Machine robots can generate off-line simulations using 3D-simulation software developed by BYG Systems of Nottingham.
The report announced that robot orders had increased by 26% worldwide in the first half of 2003.
Despite BARA's disappointment, the UK still lags behind several other countries in terms of robots per head in the manufacturing industry.
"The case studies in the catalogue provide a snapshot of the UK robot market," said Nigel Smith, managing director of TM Robotics.
"I would lend my voice to that of BARA in hoping that UK Government will encourage manufacturers to invest further in robotics in the UK.
In order to progress, UK manufacturing must constantly take advantage of the most advanced automation technology." As well as case studies, the brochure also features TM Robotics' entire range of Toshiba Machine SCARA and Cartesian robots.
These are supported by details of additional features and options available for the robots.
The features include ceiling mounting and clean room SCARA robots as well as belt axis and clean room Cartesian robots.
Also featured is the Toshiba Machine range of TS series controllers featuring built in PLCs. Request a free brochure from TM Robotics (Europe) ...
