Small Assembly Robots: Evaluating Controllers

DENSO Robotics has announced a new free guide, “Small Assembly Robots: Evaluating Controllers.”

“A robot controller plays a critical role in programming and operating the robot, as well as communicating back and forth with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT),” said Peter Cavallo, robotics sales manager, DENSO Products & Services Americas, Inc. “Understanding controller features is therefore indispensable in making an intelligent buying decision.”

The six-page guide answers this need by providing essential facts and information about controllers for small assembly robots, which are used in traditional manufacturing sectors, as well as in advanced-technology applications in the medical, pharmaceutical and life sciences industries.

The guide is available as a free download from the DENSO Robotics website at www.densorobotics.com/download/wp/4 (207 KB).

DENSO is the world’s largest manufacturer — and user — of small assembly robots, employing over 17,000 of its robots in its own facilities. Over 77,000 additional DENSO robots are used by other companies worldwide.
