Case Studies - Collaborative Robots

Collaborative industrial robots are designed to perform tasks in collaboration with workers in industrial sectors.

Jan 12, 2023 A flexible, efficient and meticulous employee is what every boss wants, and that’s precisely what Bastian Fest from FMO Surface found in the LBR iisy. Hand in hand with its team, the cobot now checks Data Matrix codes for quality and completeness. The new colleague has been accepted unreservedly and it’s no problem to train either, even for employees with no experi-ence of programming. Quite ‘iisy’, in fact!

Dec 19, 2022 As a leading manufacturer of press tools for building sanitary technology, Emerson Professional Tools AG must manufacture reliably and with process stability. For this reason - and due to tight space conditions - the Cobot CRX-10iA/L from FANUC has been used on a lathe since the beginning of 2021. It is compactly built and increases machine availability to up to 96 percent.

Sep 26, 2022 With YuMi, Sintech has automated the cleanroom process to assemble and test the "stem", a component of blood separation centrifuges manufactured by LivaNova. It was possible to improve safety for operators while increasing productivity.

Sep 21, 2022 Even back then, Otto Schott was considered a pioneer in the science of glass, and SCHOTT AG, the company he founded, continues to break new technological ground today.

Sep 22, 2021 Robots can significantly improve health at work in industry sectors that involve heavy lifting, including manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and retail. Chronic and acute injuries due to heavy lifting and unergonomic work take a heavy toll, both on employee health, and on the economy.
