Earlier this year we were presented with the opportunity to work in partnership with Allister Moore Welding Supplies (https://moorewelding.com), to provide a Universal Robots A/S UR10 e-series welding system for North West Regional College (NWRC) in Northern Ireland.
With more companies using robotic welding, North West Regional College wanted to provide their students with access to the cutting-edge technology and hands on experience with robotic welding to make their courses more relevant to local employers.
The installed solution compromised of a Universal Robot UR10 e-series welding system integrated to control the ESAB Aristo Mig 4004i Pulse welding machine together with a DINSE robotic torch package.
The Universal e-series Robot offers a number of features that support the teaching of robotics to groups of students, and with the robot being so quick and easy to redeploy to different tasks, it provided the perfect solution for the college. Whilst the robot can be used collaboratively, this solution included additional safety for when it is welding, including UKNI marking.
If you would like to know more about our cobot welding system or educational solutions, please give the Olympus Team a call on 01484 514513 or email [email protected].

Five students in the Engineering Department at Lancaster University have found an efficient way to protect the health of employees at plastic and metal manufacturing companies by limiting exposure to the nylon powder that’s used for Selective Laser Sintering.
Using robot technology from OnRobot, the students built an automation solution that eliminates worker exposure to the nylon powder used for 3D printing and additive manufacturing. Exposure to the nylon powder is harmful as workers may inhale, ingest or accidentally rub it into their eyes while working. The Lancaster students’ solution reduces worker exposure and eliminates associated health risks.
Additive Manufacturing and industrial 3D printing processes are booming, changing the way manufacturers work and invent. Rapid changes on the manufacturing side, means rapid changes in the work environment, and businesses must work to keep up and ensure the work environment related to new technologies like Selective Laser Sintering is safe.
The nylon powder used and left behind when an employee extracts a 3D printed part can be harmful to the person doing the job, so having an intelligent system - a robot - do this job will result in a healthier, safer and cleaner workplace.
A team of five engineering students at Lancaster University took on the challenge to create an intelligent system that can extract the additive manufactured parts from the cake of nylon powder, which is left after selective laser sintering, eliminating human interaction with the fine nylon powder.
The student Team Leader, James McEwan, said:
The resulting system has proven to be a robust system being able to accommodate different sized cakes and a large variety of parts of differing shapes and sizes. As for the effect this system can have, it means that workplaces will be safer as workers will no longer be at risk of ingesting the powder or getting it in the eyes which can be harmful.
The Lancaster students have achieved a very solid base for further work around automated post processing of additive manufactured parts. The team at Lancaster expect this to be the first of many successful projects using cobots to improve the efficiency, reproducibility and safety of manufacturing processes and they would like to acknowledge funding from the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership which helped support this research area.
Professor Andrew Kennedy, Chair of Advanced Manufacturing at Lancaster University, is impressed with the product range and quality in addition to the service and advice provided by OnRobot’s local partner Olympus Technologies:
We approached Olympus Technologies to help us select robots, end-effectors, and vision products for our Engineering Labs. We had an initial project in mind, but we wanted the range of products to offer the widest potential range of future uses. Despite the pandemic preventing them from visiting the site, Olympus has continued to support us remotely. Most of the equipment was very straightforward to install and get into use, and Olympus have been quick to provide support when we did have any questions.
Adam Swallow, Director, Olympus Technologies Ltd:
As an employer of engineering graduates, Olympus Technologies is delighted to see robotics being incorporated into mechatronic and mechanical engineering degree courses, and students being challenged to solve real world problems with innovative robotic equipment. Lancaster University’s decision to purchase Universal Robots together with a wide range of OnRobot equipment sets them up perfectly for many more groups of students and researchers to tackle a wide range of automation challenges. It has been a delight to support this first team of students, who have delivered a fantastic project despite the challenges of the times we live in. We look forward to continuing to support the University.
In Denmark at OnRobot’s Headquarters, General Manager Vikram Kumar is impressed by the students’ results.
The project at Lancaster University is a great example of what you can achieve by combining human creativity with the flexibility and user-friendliness of our technologies. Kudos to the young innovation heroes! Automation is the way forward for my members, both to ensure a good working environment and strong competitiveness. I find the British project very interesting.

The re-build of the UR10e now offers a 25% increase in payload from 10 kg to 12.5 kg (27.5 lbs). That means you can move more per pick, use heavier tools, and process heavier parts, supported by the 1300 mm reach and small footprint that makes the UR10e our best-seller- Find out more here.
The 25% increase in payload for the UR10e will now allow the Olympus Palletising System to payloads up to circa 10.5kg!
For more information on our palletising system call the Olympus team on 01484 514513 or email [email protected].

Family-run furniture maker Fibreline has become an industry leader through the collaborative help of Olympus Technologies & the University of Sheffield AMRC, who proved that robotics and automation technologies could increase capacity and improve productivity in its production process.
The Keighley-based business, which was founded in 1982 and employs about 200 workers, supplies bespoke cushion filling for up to 4,000 sofas every week.
Fibreline approached the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) to investigate whether two of its labour-intensive processes could be fully automated: the drilling of buttonholes in pieces of foam and the process of spraying adhesive glue to products on the assembly line.
A selection of Fibreline’s foam products were sent to AMRC’s Factory 2050 in Sheffield, the UK’s first state-of-the-art digital factory entirely dedicated to conducting collaborative research into reconfigurable robotics, digitally assisted assembly and machining technologies, to be tested using one of their onsite universal robots and cameras to determine the right specification, which they were able to do.
The report and drilling specification were then presented to Olympus Technologies, one of Fibreline’s existing suppliers, which enabled Olympus to provide Fibreline with a fully automated process - using the output from a 21-megapixel Keyence camera, mounted above a turntable, to modify the Octopuz offline programming software drilling path, based on the actual position of the foam.
The collaboration with AMRC, who’s testing had de-risked and largely proved the concept, gave Olympus Technologies the confidence to implement the project for Fibreline.
The drilling cell has now been in operation for more than a year and Fibreline are incredibly happy with the result.
