With the passage of time, manufacturing techniques have evolved. It makes manufacturing faster, more cost-effective, and meets the changing needs and preferences of modern customers. It can be said that the industrial robotic arm has always been a feature of the manufacturing industry. With the help of robotic arms that have helped lighten the workload of factories for decades, you can describe them as permanent fixtures in the manufacturing industry. Of course, this is also due to the unique capabilities of Universal Robots' industrial robotic arms and the ability to do more than conventional robots.
1. Automatic safety function
One of the biggest changes to cobots* is the advanced technology features they contain. Now, the robot can easily work with another person without causing high damage. You and the robots in your factory can now become colleagues and work together. In addition, Universal Robots' industrial robotic arms are equipped with sensors that help the robot sense nearby people. This causes the robotic arm to slow down or shut down the machine to minimize the chance of accidents when in close contact with human colleagues. It also has a flat and curved body for enhanced safety. Traditional robots are rugged. Factory workers must stay away from them to eliminate the chance of accidents.
2. Visual ability
Tasks such as packing, picking, and placing, which were previously only performed by humans, can now be done quickly and accurately by industrial robotic arms. With this feature, the robot can recognize the shape and color of the product to package similar products together. You can also use a robotic arm to check the quality of the finished product before it is packaged and ready for shipping.
3. Connect to the internet
Universal Robots' industrial robotic arms are now connected to the Internet. This means that you can have multiple bots collaborate on a single task. You will then monitor their activities from the center of your computer.
A robotic arm connected to the internet also has a number of advantages.
One is the fact that these robots can learn how to complete tasks on their own. With machine learning capabilities, your bot can learn how to perform certain tasks on the internet.
Second, it makes it easy to calibrate multiple robots at the same time. With a single control panel, you can quickly and easily set the activity, speed, accuracy and measurements of your final products and programs on your robot. Robot manufacturers develop apps that give you control of their products as you want from the factory.
Thirdly, you can easily determine when the bot is not working properly. As a result, you can quickly correct it and get back to work.
4. Compact and small footprint
Unlike conventional robots, Universal Robots' industrial robotic arms are small. All they need is desktop space to complete the tasks assigned to them.
For example, Universal Robots' UR3e is a compact, ultra-lightweight collaborative industrial robot designed for desktop-based work. The small footprint allows it to be installed directly inside the machine or in other confined workspaces. The cobot weighs only 11 kilograms, but has a payload of 3 kilograms. All wrist joints can be rotated 360 degrees, and the end joints can be rotated infinitely, making them ideal for light assembly tasks and high-precision tasks.
*The larger UR16e has a radius of about 900mm and a footprint of 190mm, but it has a payload of 16kg. This means that the robotic arm does not require much space to operate. It also means that manufacturing companies don't need a large workspace to accommodate their robots. Small manufacturers who don't have strong financial means don't have to move to robotic spaces they can't afford.
5. Easy to use
As we have already mentioned, thanks to the Internet, the Universal Robots robot arm can teach itself how to perform tasks.
Second, you don't need a robot programmer in your factory to handle the robot. With the training of our technicians, any factory worker can learn how to operate the robotic arm, even if you don't have any experience. Workers can also teach it how to perform tasks manually. Grab its arm with your hand and physically complete the action of the task. Set it to remember the action being taught and make it complete the task at hand.
