Real-Time Telemanipulator/Robotics Provides Opportunity for Producers of Large Castings

摘要

New telemanipulator/robotic technology from Vulcan Engineering Co., Helena, Ala., puts the precision and flexibility of automation at an operator's fingertips. The Vulcan Tactile System (VTS), which was displayed in action at CastExpo'13 in St. Louis this April, allows an industrial robot to be operated manually in real time putting the full functionality of the robot in the operator's hands. Risers can be cut off and the remaining pads and flash can be easily removed via the guidance of the operator. This ability brings unique robotic ability to producers of large-scale castings.
