Robotics for Plastics Manufacturing Tutorial

February 19, 2008 (Robotics Online) – Members from Robotic Industries Association Education Committee pooled their expertise to produce a new online tutorial for robots in plastics applications. It is available now for free on Robotics Online.

Presented as a slide show, the tutorial provides insight into why, when and how to use robotics in plastic manufacturing. Tips are offered for robot integration, investment considerations, and questions to ask when developing a plastics RFQ.
