United
Robotics Teams Up With TipTig USA January 31,
2019
United Robotics is
proud to announce that we have partnered with TipTig USA to provide
robotic automation integrations for TipTig products.
Unique to ABB, this revolutionary new, patent pending technology
integrates user-friendly robotics with the TIP-TIG process, enhancing
its higher travel speed, lower heat input and better quality welding
advantages. Some of the welding and customer benefits for using
TipTig include:
Highest deposition
rates for any TIG process available on the market
Slag free; No
interpass cleaning for increased arc on time and weld quality
Lowest possible
Heat Affected Zone and significantly reduced distortion and weld stress
Up to four times
increase in production
Signifcantly
reduced weld defects which cost companies time and money
Flexible system
configurations based on specific welding needs

United Robotics would like to congratulate Irving Polanco
on his promotion to Robotic Integration Manager!
Irving joined URI in July of 2015 as a Robotic Technician and has
been an integral member of the team. He started out assisting
with fabrication, installation and robotic programming and has since
moved his way in to robotic training, safety system installation &
programming and field service & support.
Irving will manage scheduling and implementation of our installations
and be our key contact for customer support.
We thank you for helping make our company successful; without your
dedication and hard work it would not have been possible.
Zach
Dreyer & Kevin Salmon of URI had the opportunity to speak to
students at
the Northwest Technical Institute's (NWTI) Open House &
Manufacturing Day in Springdale, AR on October 26th.
They spoke to students about robotic applications in manufacturing,
covering welding & plasma cutting, material handling, machine
tending, and dispensing. They also dispelled some fears among students
concerning
robotics taking jobs from technical trades such as welding. Kevin
explained to students "There will always be a need for welders in the
workforce because not every application is suited for robotic welding."
He
also encouraged students to think beyond the welding aspect stating
"It's easier to teach a welder how to program robotics, than to teach a
robotic programmer how to weld."
Zach had a 3D representation of some of our robotic cell layouts on
display; showing students a tool we commonly use to show our customers
a virtual illustration of what their cell would look like.

United
Robotics Attends IMTS 2018 September 12,
2018
The
crew
from United Robotics had the opportunity to attend IMTS (International
Manufacturing Technology Show) 2018 in Chicago, Illinois. This
year's show hosted a record-breaking 2,563 exibitors and 129,415
registrants.

Aaron
Wright of URI had the opportunity to speak to the students at
the Greater Ozarks Centers for Advanced
Professional Studies (GO CAPS) in Monett, MO on October 12th.
He discussed various robotic applications in industry, speaking
primarily about material handling, machine tending, welding/cutting and
dispensing. He stressed the importance of ancillary equipment
such as vision guidance, PLC (controls), and tooling. He also taught
the students how to perform cost justification and timely payback
studies to satisfy ownership and shareholders. "Once you get
past
the 'gee-whiz' factor of robotics you can dial in on implementation,
production expectations and cost justification of a robotic automation
initiative."

The
1st annual ABB Robotics Houston Open House on September 9th was a great
success! We had an opportunity to meet with customers,
vendors,
and fellow integrators.
There were over 180 attendees and the
event gave people a chance to see ABB's new 21,000 square
foot facility and some of their offerings; such as training,
testing, and run-off capabilities with robotic machine tending,
material handling, and welding. There were also several free seminars
offered as well as product demonstrations.
We look forward to attending next year's event and hope to see you
there!
Come join URI at the ABB Robotics Houston Open House on September 9th,
2015 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
