WHY UR COLLABORATIVE ROBOTS?
THINKING ABOUT MANUFACTURING AUTOMATION?
Cobots are Collaborative robots that are cost-effective, safe, and flexible to deploy. Collaborative robots – or cobots – are making automation easier than ever, even for small and mid-sized companies around the world. Cobots are designed to share a workspace with humans, making automation easier than ever before for businesses of all sizes. All of these benefits have made our cobots a game-changer for a wide variety of applications.
Universal Robots offers deployable collaborative robots that are affordable, secure, and versatile. Cobots, or collaborative robots, are making automation simpler than ever, even for small and mid-sized businesses worldwide. Because collaborative robots are made to operate alongside people, automation is now more accessible to companies of all sizes. UR cobots have changed the game for a wide range of applications thanks to all of these advantages.
THINKING ABOUT MANUFACTURING AUTOMATION?
Due to their ability to help everyone in the company in achieving performance goals, cobots are an excellent productivity tool for practically any manufacturing. Learn more about how to expand your business, increase quality, improve production, and give your staff a better working environment.
Collaborative robots (cobots) from Universal Robots can improve your processes and help address challenges quickly and cost-effectively. That’s because they work alongside humans, automating tasks wherever that makes sense to your business.
If you’re faced with increasing competition, a talent shortage, or the challenges of lowvolume, high-mix production, manufacturing automation can be a game-changing solution. Before you write it off as too difficult or too expensive, explore the answers to these five questions:
Until recently, industrial automation required teams of dedicated expert programmers and application engineers, placing it out of the reach for many businesses. Collaborative robots (cobots) from Universal Robots offer game-changing simplicity for robotic automation.
Employees drive your company’s success. Your business depends on them. So what can automation offer your team? Helping people feel confident and comfortable is the first step to a successful implementation.
The vital tools for a successful deployment and ongoing operation are included in UR CARE. You will have all the resources you need for a smooth onboarding and deployment with the help of the user-friendly support portal, myUR, for repairs, replacement parts, software upgrades, and education and knowledge hubs. For pre-deployment and ongoing needs, Cobot users also receive exceptional support from a Customer Success Manager.
HOW ARE COBOTS MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR INDUSTRY?
Collaborative robots (cobots) from Universal Robots are ideal when business conditions require agility. Optimize them for output or precision as needed. Redeploy them for new product lines. With easy setup, they get to work fast so you can start reaping the benefits right away.
AUTOMOTIVE & SUBCONTRACTORS
Flexible, affordable cobots from UR are increasing output and consistency for a variety of sub-assemblies, modules, and systems, benefiting everyone from Tier 1 OEMs to contractors throughout the supply chain. Universal Robots collaborative robots are simple to install and re-deploy. They are the best solution for the industry’s need for customization and quick reaction to shifting consumer needs.
EDUCATION & SCIENCE
UR robots are used throughout the education, scientific, and research communities to create a foundation for accurate information-gathering and analysis, to develop new technologies. Small, lightweight cobots are cost-effective and can fit on classroom tables and in small labs. A collaborative robot arm from Universal Robots reliably and continuously follows precise procedures and pre-defined workflows.
ELECTRONICS AND TECHNOLOGY
Cobots can perform precise activities like insertion, dispensing, screwdriving, or labelling safely next to humans (after a risk assessment). You can reassign skilled workers to more useful activities as you automate these monotonous chores. By taking over upstream or downstream tasks, collaborative robots are also a great way to distance workers on production lines.
FOOD & BEVERAGE
Cobots can perform precise activities like insertion, dispensing, screwdriving, or labelling safely next to humans (after a risk assessment). You can reassign skilled workers to more useful activities as you automate these monotonous chores. By taking over upstream or downstream tasks, collaborative robots are also a great way to distance workers on production lines.
MEDICAL & COSMETICS
Robot setup for medical and aesthetic applications is often measured in hours or days, not weeks, due to ease of deployment. A single UR cobot may frequently manage numerous processes, and lightweight cobot arms can easily be transported from one process to another on mobile carts. Collaborative robots from Universal Robots are used throughout the industry to tend machines and conveyors; precisely assemble devices and products; and kit and package items into blister packs, cartons, or pallets.
METALS & MACHINING
For machine tending applications, such as CNC and die cast machines, press brakes, and dial tables, which can operate continuously and dependably around the clock, collaborative automation is perfect. Automate minor, repetitive products that welders don’t like to work on, and assign your top welders to high-profit product lines. Collaborative automation is affordable and flexible, so you can easily move robot arms from one task to another as your business needs change.
PLASTICS & POLYMERS
Without a closed mould, injection and blow moulding processes cannot turn a profit. But staff find it difficult to perform the dull, repetitive, and injury-prone labour of loading and unloading machinery. It is therefore perfect for automation. There are several reach and payload capacities for UR collaborative robot arms. They can be integrated into existing facilities with high-mix, low-volume production that can’t be cost-effectively automated with traditional robots.

EASY PROGRAMMING
Our collaborative robots from Universal Robots can be easily set up and operated by operators without programming knowledge thanks to patented technology from Universal Robots. To utilize the arrow keys on the simple touchscreen tablet, just move the collaborative robot (cobot) arm to the required waypoints.
FAST SET-UP
Collaborative robot setup has been revolutionized by Universal Robots, which has cut down on the standard robotic deployment time from weeks to only a few hours. Only a half-worth day’s of setup time is often reported by our customers. It usually takes less than an hour for an untrained operator to unpack the collaborative robot, mount it, and program the first task.
FLEXIBLE AUTOMATION
Without altering your production structure, collaborative robots from Universal Robots are portable, compact, and simple to re-deploy to different applications. You may quickly and easily adapt the UR collaborative robot (cobot) to new processes, providing you the flexibility to automate practically any manual operation, including ones with small batches or quick changeovers. Programs can be reused by the collaborative robot for repeatable tasks.
COLLABORATIVE & SAFE
In order to decrease repetitive stress injuries and unintentional injuries, you can now substitute human operators in dirty, dangerous, and dull jobs. Eighty percent of the thousands of UR collaborative robots operating alongside human operators do so without any safety guarding (after risk assessment). Our collaborative robots’ safety system has received TÜV approval and certification (The German Technical Inspection Association).
