COLLABORATIVE
Key Benefits
- Can work safely alongside people thanks to built-in sensors, force and speed limits, emergency stop systems and more
- Easier to use with intuitive, user-friendly operation
- Faster deployment and quicker reprogramming for new tasks
- Smaller footprint with no need for safety cages
- High flexibility and mobility
Main Limitations
- Lower payload and force — typically only a few kilograms
- Limited speed and cycle time — significantly slower than industrial robots for safety reasons
- Lower precision in fine operations — some collaborative robots do not match the stiffness and accuracy of traditional industrial robots
- Technology and integration limits — reduced robustness, fewer tooling options and more complex integration into larger production lines
Typical Applications
Palletising and depalletising
Pick & Place / Handling
Machine tending
Assembly and sub-assembly
Packaging
Automated quality inspection
