Collaborative robots – development and engagement in the assembly process
Collaborative robots or cobots are becoming a common sight in industrial production. Even though some development still needs to be done they already efficiently support assembly process optimisation. To ease their inclusion in production, it makes sense to clarify their features and where their use is appropriate. Collaborative robots…
Usability of water soluble paper dams for weld root purging
When welding stainless steel pipes, it is crucial to assure adequate welding conditions inside the pipe where the root is formed. The weld root characteristics need to be mechanically as well as physiochemically acceptable.
Towards Intelligent Planocentric Gear Train for Robotic Industry – Part 2
A design and development of a planocentric gearbox to be used in robot arm joints, namely for a collaborative robot, is presented in the papers. Besides strict limitations regarding the near zero backlash, the output position and torque should be available as well. So, a spatial-awareness encoder and a torque sensor are incorporated in a gearbox…

The Pilot Plant Construction and Control for Spent Pot-Lining (SPL) from Aluminium Production
A Spent Pot-Lining is waste from aluminium production and is treated as hazardous waste. Current technological solutions do not offer full reuse or recycling of waste material, which is why most of the material ends up in incinerators and landfills…
I 4.0 experiences by ergonomics integrating into smart homes
On every step, we encounter the term Industry 4.0, which at first glance defines only the field of an emerging modern industry, but in reality, I 4.0 is closely related to the concepts of the Internet of Things – (IoT) and the Internet of People (IoP)…
The influence of automation of the adhesive tape installation process on production efficiency
Many manufacturing companies, especially automotive suppliers, face high requirements for low value-added products. As a result, cost reduction with the optimization of production processes is becoming increasingly important.
Transition to Model-Based Definition
The engineering drawing is a universal method of conveying design intent. Ever since the first 3D modelling software, there has been a promise of skipping the drawing step. Model based definition is…
Validation of the gas flow rate measuring system with the laminar flow element
The main component of a laminar flowmeter is a laminar flow element, which cross-section is made of capillary passages. The gas flows through the passageway under laminar conditions, therefore the Hagen- Poiseuille equation…
Tribological tests with hydraulic pumps at variable load
In the field of hydraulic pump based tribological tests, there are a few different tests that are designated to reproduce real operating conditions …
