Robotic innovation takes center stage at São Paulo event
At Feimec 2024, Yaskawa Motoman, one of the global leaders in industrial automation, will celebrate 50 years of operations in Brazil, demonstrating the versatility of its robots in applications ranging from welding to gift personalization. The event, which is one of the largest in the sector in Latin America, will take place from May 7th to 11th at São Paulo Expo, expecting to attract more than 65 thousand visitors.
Technology demonstration and interaction with robots
At the 150 m² stand, the company, in collaboration with Bicafé, will highlight a Barista Robot that will serve coffee to participants, symbolizing the fusion of technology and convenience. In addition, another robot will be responsible for serving draft beer, while a third will laser engrave personalized gifts. These demonstrations not only showcase the robots' ability to perform complex tasks, but also emphasize their flexibility and efficiency.
Márcio Garcia, director of Robotic Solutions at Yaskawa Motoman, highlights the importance of Feimec for the company: “It is an excellent opportunity to strengthen relationships with customers and partners, increasing trust in our brand.”
Advances in collaborative robotics
During Feimec 2024, the six-axis HC20DTP collaborative robot will be presented, which stands out for its ability to work alongside humans in tasks such as assembly, material handling and pick and place operations. This robot, which supports a payload of 20 kg, will be integrated with a CNC bending machine to manufacture useful objects such as pen holders and cell phone holders in stainless steel, demonstrating the harmonia e productivity that can be achieved through collaborative automation.
In addition to the HC20DTP, the HC10DTP collaborative robots will also be prominently displayed. These devices share controllers identical to those of industrial robots, which facilitates maintenance and reduces the need for replacement parts, offering effective solutions for welding, cutting and material handling.
Social impact of industrial robotics
Garcia also addresses the positive impact of robots on the workforce, emphasizing that automation is not intended to replace workers, but to improve customer service and competitiveness in the global market. He points out that in countries with high adoption of robotics, such as Japan, USA, China, Germany and South Korea, there is a correlation between the use of robots and low unemployment rates. In Brazil, the use of robots is growing, providing safer and more specialized employment opportunities.
Yaskawa Motoman Robótica do Brasil, with its headquarters in Diadema, São Paulo, continues to lead the way in the introduction of industrial robots in the South American market, offering not only high technology products, but also specialized technical support to ensure continuous and efficient operations in various industry sectors.
