Collaborative robotic arm, as the name suggests, means that the robotic arm and people can work together on the production line, giving full play to the efficiency of the robotic arm and human intelligence. This collaborative robotic arm is not only cost-effective, but also safe and convenient, which can greatly promote the development of manufacturing enterprises.
As a new type of industrial robot, the collaborative robotic arm has removed the obstacles of human-machine collaboration, allowing the robotic arm to completely get rid of the shackles of guardrails or safety cages, and its pioneering product performance and wide range of application fields have opened a new era for the development of industrial robots. To put it simply, a cobot is a robot that is designed from the ground up to reduce the risk of injury and can safely interact directly with humans.
There is no very big difference between collaborative robots and traditional robots, but industrial robot products based on different design concepts, in the early stage of the development of collaborative robots, many of them are transformed from traditional robots, and now there are many robot manufacturing companies that are constantly researching collaborative robots.
In 2005, three Denmark university students founded a company that provided commercial collaborative robots on a whim; Today, the company is transforming and disrupting entire industries and markets. Odense, Denmark, May 18, 2021: Universal Robots has launched an enhanced UR10e with a robotic arm payload of 12.5 kg, making it a new choice for applications such as palletizing, machine management and packaging.
Kim Povlsen, President of Universal Robots, said: "Universal Robots has always been committed to sustainable development by actively paying attention to the voice of our customers and market dynamics. Our customers have deployed Universal Robots cobots in a variety of palletizing applications. Over time, they slowly discovered the potential of our UR10e collaborative robotic arm to handle heavier items. In order to meet the needs of our customers, we have optimized the UR10e, increased its payload to 12.5kg, and given it new deployment capabilities to work more efficiently 24 hours a day. With a working radius of 1300 mm and a proven track record, the UR10e has been upgraded to empower even more customers. ”
Safe, flexible, and rewarding for investment, collaborative robotic arms make automation unmatched simplicity, making robots easy to use even for small and medium-sized businesses. Easy to operate, even inexperienced operators can quickly set up and operate intuitive, 3D visualized cobots. Simply move the robot arm to the desired position or touch the down arrow key on the easy-to-use touchscreen tablet. Cobots are used in a wide range of applications, including medical devices, circuit boards, and electronic components. At present, the industrial field is still the main application market for collaborative robots, but the competition will become increasingly fierce; In the long run, with the continuous development of cobots, the service field has the opportunity to become a new application blue ocean.

Universal Robots – an introduction to the features of laser welding robots
1. It has non-contact, and the minimum point diameter formed by the laser can be 0. 1 mm, the minimum solder feeding device can be 0.2 mm, and it is possible to solder micro-pitch packaging (mounting) components.
2. Because it is a short-term local heating, the thermal impact on the substrate and surrounding parts is very small, and the quality of the solder joints is small.

Universal Robots – Classification and detailed description of robotic arms
1. Handling robotic arm
This kind of robotic arm is very versatile, and generally only needs to be controlled by points. That is, there is no strict motion trajectory requirement for the transported parts, and only the start and end point posture are required to be accurate. For example, the loading and unloading tool used in the machine tool, the workpiece stacking robotic arm, the machinery used in the injection molding machine, etc.
