Are you considering investing in a collaborative automation solution?

If you’re considering investing in a collaborative automation solution, you’ll also need to look into the various End-of-Arm Tools (EoAT) available. EoAT is key to optimizing processes, allowing you to drive growth through greater flexibility, higher output, and improved quality.

Collaborative robots (cobots) are ideal for low-volume production, operations with a wide product mix, or those that need to safely automate processes alongside employees.

This could involve, for example, automating a simple, repetitive motion, or having the robot hand off a workpiece to an employee who will perform a quality check or complete an assembly task.

Cobots are often affordable and easy to program. They are compact and lightweight, making them easy to move and reconfigure for different tasks. As a result, they often have a shorter payback period and enable companies to increase productivity, improve quality, and respond more quickly to changing customer demands.

APPLICATIONS

Traditional application:

High volume with little variation
Ideal for large companies that produce large quantities of the same products over an extended period of time.

Collaborative application:

Small volume with high variety
Designed for small-scale production runs with high variation, where the robot is frequently moved between different tasks.

Get the most out of your cobot

EoATs are essential for getting the most out of your collaborative robot. They are designed to work safely alongside employees and are easy to program. They are cost-effective, highly flexible, and easy to swap out, ensuring a short payback period and quick results.
