Waste less material and achieve greater precision

Waste less material and achieve greater precision in bonding, coating and dispensing. For companies worldwide, competitive pressure and the shortage of skilled workers are constantly increasing. You can counteract this by using collaborative robots to optimize your production and reduce the workload of your employees.

What challenges does a collaborative robot have to overcome when gluing, dispensing and painting?

Challenges in the application

High precision

High precision and efficiency are particularly important for gluing, painting, sealing and dispensing tasks. By equipping the new e-series cobots with force/torque sensors, consistent and precise processes are possible.

Protection of the robot arms

Liquids are used for gluing, sealing and diesel dispensing. Protecting the robot arms is therefore important. The robot arms from Universal Robots are certified to IP-54. If you work with corrosive liquids, you can also protect the cobot.

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.

Possible applications

Here we show you how the collaborative robots can be used in some example applications.

Gluing

In many industries, many parts have to be glued, for example washbasins, windows or car parts. A constant amount of adhesive is important when gluing. A human cannot do this. By using collaborative robots, you can guarantee consistent quality, reduce production costs and optimize your production processes.

Dosing

Even for small series, a collaborative robot from Universal Robots is very well suited. The easy programming and short set-up time make this possible.

Programs for repetitive tasks are saved and enable flexible use in your company.
