Maximize efficiency and quality

Many machine tending operations can be automated with a collaborating robot. The particular advantage is a significantly higher utilization of your machines. The collaborating robot is ideal for feeding CNC machines, injection moulding 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 use of collaborating robots is also possible in all areas of plastic and polymer production, including injection moulding applications. For better connectivity, the IMMI option includes a controller connection module. This enables quick and easy commissioning.

Application challenges

Limited space conditions

The small footprint and the omission of security fences, which is usually possible, make it possible to use it in many production halls. This is why usually only little or nothing has to be moved. You can start immediately.

Shortage of skilled workers

There is also a great shortage of skilled workers in machine operation. As a result, not all order requests can be handled and the potential is not fully exploited. A collaborating robot must therefore do its job well and independently.

Protection of employees

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

Flexible working methods

Often small series are produced. This is where another advantage of the robots from Universal Robots comes into play: their great flexibility. You can assign the cobots to another workstation at any time.
