Reis Robotics

Reis Robotics is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Reis Robotics rather than just read about it. In short: Reis Robotics is a German industrial robot manufacturer and systems integrator. In addition to robots and peripheral modules, Reis Robotics produces spotting and trimming presses and trimming tools.

Key takeaways

Reis Robotics belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Reis Robotics to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Reis Robotics from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Reis Robotics is a German industrial robot manufacturer and systems integrator. In addition to robots and peripheral modules, Reis Robotics produces spotting and trimming presses and trimming tools. Reis Robotics comprises three German subsidiaries and eight international subsidiaries and several representative agencies. Reis Robotics USA has two locations, the headquarters in Elgin, IL and the west coast technical center in Valencia, CA.

Overview Reis Robotics was founded in 1957 in Obernburg, Bavaria, Germany by Walter Reis who received the Rudolf Diesel Medal in 2006 and the German Mechanical Engineering Prize in 2011. In 2010, 18 companies in the Reis Group were combined as the Reis Group Holding GmbH & Co KG. The largest company within the Reis Group was Reis GmbH & Co KG Maschinenfabrik (Reis Robotics) in Obernburg, Bavaria. The machine factory had around 700 employees (35% of them engineers) who work in the field of development and production of automation systems and robots. A major field of activity of Reis Robotics was the development and implementation of complex automation systems for all areas of industrial production. The group also included other high-tech development companies in Germany which focused on specific areas of robot application and supplied their products to both Reis Robotics and companies out of the Reis group. Since 2012, Reis Robotics has also been developing mold casting machines and automation equipment for the post-processing of cast parts for foundry technology. In 2013, KUKA, an industrial robots-manufacturing company acquired 51% shares of Reis Robotics. In 2016, KUKA took over the remaining shares and became the sole owner.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Reis Robotics

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Reis Robotics claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Reis Robotics before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Reis Robotics ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Reis Robotics

In research: Reis Robotics appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Reis Robotics in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Reis Robotics is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1957 establishments, Companies based in Bavaria, German brands, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Reis Robotics outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is Reis Robotics in simple terms?

Reis Robotics is a German industrial robot manufacturer and systems integrator. In addition to robots and peripheral modules, Reis Robotics produces spotting and trimming presses and trimming tools.

Why does Reis Robotics matter?

Because it connects several engineering ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study Reis Robotics?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
