Overview
Collaborative robots have force-limiting or safety-rated features that allow shared workspaces when a risk assessment supports it. They are quick to program and can be redeployed as needs change.
We choose the right cobot, gripper and safety concept, and where the application demands speed or heavy payloads we will recommend an industrial robot instead.
How It Works
- Hand-guiding or touch-screen programming
- Risk assessment defines speed limits and safety sensors
- Mobile bases or pedestals allow movement between machines
- Grippers, screwdrivers or welding torches are added according to the task
What's Included in the System
- Cobot arm
- Safe gripper or tool
- Pedestal or mobile cart
- Safety laser scanner if required
- Fixtures and part supply
Benefits
- Fast commissioning
- Low floor-space requirement
- Good for high-mix, low-volume
- Easy redeployment

Frequently Asked Questions
Are cobots safe without fences?
A cobot may run without a fence only if a risk assessment covers the entire application, including tool and workpiece. See our robot safety guide.
Are cobots slower than industrial robots?
Generally yes, because speed is limited for safety. For high-speed tasks an industrial robot is better.
