The collaborative robot reduces assembly time and increases production speed

With the collaborative robot, you can set up precisely repeatable processes for screwing, hammering in nuts, fitting parts and insertion tasks. These monotonous tasks usually increase the risk of injury to employees performing them.

Small companies that want to further optimize their production are an excellent area of application for collaborative robots.

What challenges does a collaborative robot have to overcome in assembly?

Challenges in the application

Little space available

The small footprint and the absence of safety fences, which is usually possible, mean that they can be used in many production halls. As a result, there is usually little to no need for conversion. You can get started immediately.

High precision

High precision and efficiency are particularly important when screwing, inserting or fitting parts. By equipping the new e-series cobots with force/torque sensors, consistent and precise processes are possible.

Protection of employees

Protect your employees and leave these dangerous tasks to the collaborative robots.
Thanks to the collaborative properties of the robots, they can usually be used alongside your employees without protective equipment.

Flexible working methods

Small series are often produced. This is where another advantage of the lightweight robots from Universal Robots comes into play: their great flexibility. You can assign the collaborative robot to another workstation at any time and thus also produce small series.
