All You Needed to Know About Robots But Were Afraid To Ask…

Why Use Robots?

Answer

Consistent reproducible quality

Minimum refitting costs

Small space requirements

Long lifespan

Can be deployed in harsh environmentsunsafe or harmful to man

Reduced production costs

Flexible manufacturing

Improved product quality

Improved competitiveness

Shorter production time

They don't ask for pay rise or go sick

Answer

WeldingWafer handling

Drilling machine handling

PackingPress handling

Milling handling

Testing / Palletize

Assembling

Typical applications:

Efficient Vs payload capacity

Easy to set up, almost plug and play

Compact size ensures tight working envelopes can be achieved

Highly dexterous

Easily integrated into automation systems,old and new
