Automation is rapidly and undeniably taking over the manufacturing industry. Manufacturing COBOTs (or collaborative robots) are ideal to fit in the advanced era of automation. With the help of collaborative robots, both large corporations and small businesses can expand and automate processes in their factories, warehouses and research facilities. COBOTs particularly, can perform repetitive, hazardous or precise tasks alongside human workers. Let us look more closely at how COBOTs in manufacturing will undoubtedly play an important role towards the sector’s development.
COBOTs are a relatively new aspect of industrial robotics. Because they are simpler, easier and more flexible, COBOTs are designed to be reliable partners that can work hand-in-hand with humans and increase work efficiency and productivity. They pose no risk, require little-to-no programming and simplify connectivity. Because of these benefits, COBOTs are a game changer for a variety of applications. COBOTs are a low-cost, easy-to-use solution that increases productivity while posing fewer risks and providing numerous benefits.
Industrial robots vs COBOTs
In the manufacturing industry, the distinction between COBOTs and robots is based on their intended use and, hence, the type of task assigned to them. Both collaborative robots and industrial robots are used to increase productivity and efficiency by providing more force, energy, accuracy and data. However, reprogramming industrial robots is a complex process which requires a skilled engineer or a developer. COBOTs, on the contrary, are easier to program and quickly learn new skills as they are a fusion of a human and machine which is the most efficient and reliable combination.
The following are the differences between Industrial Robots and COBOTs:
