Ensure consistently high product quality with collaborative robots

The collaborative robots from Universal Robots follow the preset processes precisely. They do this without interruption and without signs of fatigue.

A human being is not capable of this. You should automate your quality inspection if you want to increase the quality of your products. Thanks to the high repeat accuracy of +/- 0.03 mm (30 micrometers), fast and precise sequences are possible.

You can also use the robot arm in conjunction with industrial image processing to inspect several areas of a product with a single camera.

What challenges does a collaborative robot have to overcome in quality inspection?

Challenges in the application

Low costs

The cost factor plays a major role for most companies. Thanks to the shortest amortization period on the market, Universal Robots robots are ideally suited for cost savings. You can significantly increase your competitiveness.

Little space

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.

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.
