Maximize efficiency and quality

Many machine loading processes can be automated with a collaborative robot. The particular advantage is a significantly higher utilization of your machines. The collaborative robot is ideal for feeding CNC machines, injection molding machines and ICT applications.

From now on, your machine operators can take care of several machines, they are freed from physically heavy work and the risk of injury is significantly reduced.

The collaborative robots can also be used in all areas of plastics and polymer production, including injection molding applications. The IMMI option includes a controller connection module for improved connectivity. This enables quick and easy commissioning.

Challenges in the application

Tight spaces

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.

Skills shortage

There is also a major shortage of skilled workers in machine loading. This means that not all order requests can be met and the potential is not fully exploited. A collaborative robot must therefore do its job well and independently.

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.
