What are Cobots?
Collaborative robots, or cobots, can operate near humans, sharing a workspace without machine guarding or safety fences. Unlike traditional industrial robots that are typically guarded against humans, cobots are specifically engineered with advanced safety features and sensors to ensure safe collaboration.
Key Components
Safety Features
Equipped with safety systems that allow them to detect the presence of humans in their workspace. These features include force/torque sensors, vision systems, and proximity sensors.
Lightweight and Portable
Typically light and easy to move, allowing them to be quickly reconfigured for different tasks and workstations. Their portability adds to their versatility and ease of integration into various production environments.
Power and Force Limiting
Designed with power and force limiting capabilities to ensure they exert only a limited amount of force in case of any inadvertent physical contact with humans.
Hand-Guided Programming
Intuitive and user-friendly programming interfaces that allow operators to teach or guide them through tasks manually. This hand-guided programming eliminates complex coding and makes it easier for non-experts to set up and operate the cobots.
Space-Saving Design
It is often designed with a compact footprint, making it suitable for use in small or confined workspaces.
Application Flexibility
Can handle various tasks, from repetitive and precise operations to more complex and varied tasks. They are used in applications such as assembly, pick-and-place, packaging, quality inspection, machine tending, and collaborative testing.
Enhanced Productivity
Cobots can increase productivity and efficiency in various manufacturing processes by working alongside human operators. They can handle repetitive and physically demanding tasks, allowing human workers to focus on more skilled and strategic activities.
