Robotic islands: where do they make a difference?
Choosing an industrial robot
Robotic islands are flexible tools that can be adapted to different machining operations and uses. In order to improve workflow and increase production rates, industrial robots need to have different requirements and performances according to the plant in which they are installed and the CNC machines to be serviced. This is why they are customised according to the task they have to perform. These include, for example, object handling, sorting, assembly, quality control, painting, etc.
To choose the most suitable robotic island for your company, it is important to consider a number of factors, including the tasks to be carried out, the relevant sector, the cost-benefit ratio (for a rapid return on investment) and the type of environment in which it will be installed. .
Sectors where a robotic island can make a difference
With the advent of Industry 4.0 and smart factories, the number of companies able to accommodate and benefit from a robotic island has tripled in recent years. Many industrial sectors are affected, including fashion, automotive, aeronautics and aerospace, mechanical engineering, healthcare and pharmaceutical, food, transport, etc.
Generally speaking, investing in industrial automation solutions is particularly recommended in hazardous working environments, where operators have to carry out heavy or repetitive tasks and their safety is often put at risk

CNC programming: a complete guide
Programming a computer numerical control machine, also known as a CNC machine, is not a simple operation, and requires a certain amount of experience in the field. When we talk about CNC programming, we’re referring to the process of creating computer commands, generally G-codes, used to control these automated production tools, able to carry out precise and complex operations, often for the metalworking sector, such as cutting, milling and drilling on a variety of materials. These instructions include: information on the movements of the tool, the speed of the spindle, feed rates, tool changes and other parameters necessary to carry out a particular process. Each process in the programming of the CNC machine tool is carried out using an integrated electronic device, usually an on-board computer.

A single, evolved partner
Since it was founded 25 years ago, Assistec has developed its service offering with increasingly innovative proposals. Today, the company also stands out by offering modular robot cells and an advanced service concept

Evolution is the basis of adaptation and survival of species. It applies in biology as well as in economic and industrial dynamics: markets change, technologies update, companies evolve.
Antonio La Placa's story is a striking example of this evolutionary capacity: after gaining extensive experience in Germany as a FANUC technician, in 1998 he returned to Italy where he founded Assistec. Initially focused on the electronic technical support of CNC machine tools for chip removal equipped with FANUC components (numerical controls, motors, drives, power supplies, electronic boards), he soon expanded his offer with additional, increasingly advanced services. -
