With the development of industrial modernization and the continuous improvement of automation, higher requirements are put forward for manufacturing quality inspection. At present, manual inspection is faced with prominent employment contradictions such as recruitment, retention, and training difficulties, and the quality of testing is easily affected by factors such as personal subjective judgment and operation status.
Universal Robots cobots can be deployed in a fully automated production line, where the robots are able to perform 100% of the parts inspection after checking the crimping and final part assembly, making them more accurate and reliable than the operator, resulting in significantly higher product quality.
Check out Universal Robots' quality inspection applications around the world.

◆ Only parts that have passed Q-Span can be subsequently inspected on the CMM machine, which is conducive to process optimization
Lear, Germany ◆ UR5 checks that all screws on the car seat are inserted correctly
◆The cobot can complete 8,500 drilling operations per day
France BW Industrie ◆A UR5 picks up the metal tube and puts it into the test machine
◆ The cobot places them in front of two high-definition cameras, and the automation unit immediately improves the working environment and frees the operator from high-intensity manual labor
◆ROI: 6-12 months
Benchmark Electronics, Thailand Universal Robots tests satellite modem receivers
◆ UR5 picks and puts the finished product into the test machine, the cobot issues instructions, securely locks the product, and starts the 15-minute test cycle
◆ After the test is completed, the UR5 sends the command to unlock the product and places it in the designated location according to the result
thyssenkrupp Bilstein, United States ◆ UR10 checks the crimping after filling and the final part assembly
◆ The robot completes 100% of the parts inspection work
Craft and Technik Industries India (CATI) ◆ After the parts are processed, the UR10 picks them up for weight detection
The result: zero defects
GKN Transmission Systems Corporation of Japan Two UR5 robots inspect the front and back of thin iron plates in viscous couplings
◆ The robot will insert the iron plate into the pole according to the test result
◆GKN uses these collaborative robots to achieve 24-hour production
Gentofte Hospital, Denmark The University Hospital of Copenhagen has deployed two UR5 robots that are capable of processing 3,000 blood samples per day, 7-8 per minute
◆The first robot uses a small pneumatic suction cup to pick up the sample arriving through the pipeline system onto the conveyor belt, and the vision-guided cobot places the sample in front of the barcode reader, and at the same time takes a picture of the color of the screw cap The cobot transfers the sample to the sample holder corresponding to the color
◆A second UR5 cobot picks up the sample from the shelf and puts it into the inlet module to bring the sample to the centrifugation and analysis process
Results: Despite a 20% increase in sample volume, the lab was able to produce 90% of the samples in less than 1 hour, without additional staff
