Olaf C. Gehrels, CEO of Fanuc Europe Corporation: "The global robot market is developing at a rapid pace. On this path, two technological milestones are of outstanding importance for Fanuc: On the one hand, collaborative robots based on standard robots are equipped with sophisticated controllers that have proven themselves in routine tasks in industrial applications.In addition, there are heavy-duty robots that can handle workpieces weighing up to 2,300 kg and thus enable the implementation of completely newly developed manufacturing processes."
