For Tier 1 OEMs to contractors throughout the supply chain, flexible, cost-effective cobots are improving output and consistency for a spectrum of sub-assemblies, modules, and systems. Easy-to-deploy and redeploy cobots ideally address the industry’s need for customization and fast response to changing consumer demands.
Cobots can work side-by-side with human workers, improving their output and consistency and allowing them to support more in-line processes in a single work space. While traditional automation requires an all-or-nothing approach, cobots allow automotive manufacturers to automate specific tasks and see fast return on investment
Quickly and affordably adapt assembly lines for new requirements. Lightweight collaborative robot arms can be easily programmed and redeployed and can even be mounted on carts for mobility
Add new functionality without expensive changes to production lines. Meet competitive demands for faster output and lower costs, even in processes not typically suited for automation
Increase quality and consistency in repetitive tasks where human workers struggle. Collaborative robots can work non-stop while operators focus on higher-value tasks
Cedric Grandjean, Group PSA Architect Element Specialist, Finish Assembly LineThanks to the robot’s arrival, we have been able to lower the cost of our cars while also improving the geometric dimensioning and tolerance (GD&T) up to 10%.
Our automation experts work with companies like yours to identify applications where cobots can have the biggest impact. They can guide you on training and integration to calculating return on investment.
A range of Universal Robots models are available to address automation needs from precision tasks to long reach and high payload requirements. The UR10e model is widely used in automotive applications to address diverse processes.
