Advanced Manufacturing: Collaborative Robots (Cobots)
Share:
Cobots are collaborative robots. Both the name and the description reflect their ability to work side-by-side with the human workforce to safely achieve greater output efficiency. The cobot fulfills its role by utilizing these fundamental advantages:
- Built-in sensors that interact with servo motors, make them extremely safe and user-friendly. For example, if there is a force limit that is exceeded by bumping into an operator or other object, the cobot will sense this, stop, and then require a reset to restart the operation.
- Higher efficiency in repetitive labor such as pick and place, results in higher product output.
- Ease of performance of previously hazardous tasks, where the risk of injury exists from heavy lifting or running machines.
We can help you implement cobots to create a factory that is leaner, smarter, safer, and capable of greater output.
