Collaborative Robots (Cobots) are revolutionizing the manufacturing landscape by offering a flexible and user-friendly alternative to traditional industrial robots. While traditional robots are large, static, and costly, cobots work directly alongside people without safety cages or fencing.
This ease of integration extends their use from standard industrial tasks such as machine tending, welding, and palletizing to diverse fields such as agriculture, medical, and pharmaceutical sectors.
Through their consistent performance, cobots boost production output, enhance product quality, and democratize automation. This makes collaborative robots accessible not only for large businesses but for all.
Traditional manufacturing robots are large and suited for big businesses with high-volume, repetitive tasks. They are common in automotive factories and are sturdy but not very flexible.
However, the introduction of collaborative robots, or cobots, is changing the industry. These cobots are affordable and help small to mid-sized manufacturers compete effectively. They are more than just cost-effective robotic arms; they allow automation of processes that were once too expensive.
Cobots help address labor shortages in less appealing jobs and increase productivity and competitiveness. Their cost is comparable to a factory worker's annual salary, much lower than the high integration costs of traditional robots. Cobots are therefore a revolutionary option for modern manufacturers.
Traditional Industrial Robots vs. Universal Robots' Cobots
Universal Robots' collaborative robots (cobots) mark a significant shift from traditional industrial robots. Unlike the larger, rigid traditional robots designed for repetitive, high-volume tasks, these cobots are compact, flexible, and user-friendly. They easily integrate into various production environments, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
These cobots stand out for their adaptability. They can be reprogrammed and relocated to meet changing manufacturing needs, offering a versatile and cost-effective solution. This flexibility makes Universal Robots' cobots a preferred choice over traditional industrial robots for businesses seeking efficient, adaptable robotic solutions.
Universal Robots offers a collaborative robotic arm that is highly flexible and user-friendly for daily production tasks. Its unique features include being lightweight, simple to reprogram even for non-experts, and easily movable within production facilities.
Food and agriculture production takes place round the clock 24/7. Robots are able to work at all times, which leads to less waste and faster production compared to human labor. Cobots can also operate in extreme conditions. As a result, more companies in the food production sector are turning to cobots to support human labor.
Cobots are used by manufacturers of lighting, mobile phones, speakers, computers, and more. This is because collaborative robots are easier to program than typical industrial robots and can be programmed by non-experts.
The production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and medical equipment requires utmost precision. UR cobots are regularly used to mix, count, and dispense a variety of materials.
Cobot Applications:
There are many collaborative robot applications across all industries. These include assembly, dispensing, finishing, machine tending, material handling, welding, material removal, quality inspections, and more.
