New Scale Robotics Partners With FANUC to Automate Manual Gaging
This new partnership will enable the automation of manual gaging processes, helping manufacturers eliminate bottlenecks and improve productivity.
New Scale Robotics has announced a new partnership with FANUC Americas Corp. as an Authorized Systems Integrator (ASI). This new relationship expands the FANUC system’s capabilities by enabling the automation of manual gaging processes, helping manufacturers eliminate bottlenecks and improve productivity.
By automating tedious manual gaging tasks, New Scale’s Q-Span systems improve measurement consistency, repeatability and throughput, while eliminating data-entry errors. Working together, FANUC’s CRX robot and New Scale Robotics’ Q-Span system enable automated gaging, part handling and data logging; fast deployment of automation into existing facilities and process flows; and rapid change-over for a large mix of parts.
New Scale Robotics plans to extend its expertise into more robot platforms for automated gaging to small and medium-sized manufacturers through FANUC CRX cobots.
“FANUC is well-recognized as the world leader in automation, and this collaboration reflects the shared commitment of both companies to drive more automation in an underserved but critical part of the manufacturing process: quality control,” says Stefan Friedrich, marketing manager at New Scale Robotics. “By expanding our offering to include a FANUC solution, we can now reach and support a larger audience of manufacturers looking to automation to stay competitive in today’s manufacturing landscape.”
“This collaboration will further enhance the Q-Span gaging system, providing manufacturers with a robust, safe and reliable solution for automating manual dimensional gaging processes,” says Scott Wisotzke, director of sales for New Scale Robotics.
According to the company, this strategic move helps solidify New Scale Robotics as a key integration partner in this specialized area of automated dimensional gaging, providing tailored solutions to manufacturers looking to automate their manual gaging processes.
