If your equipment is idle, it’s costing you money. While machine tending positions are tough to fill and retain, cobots are always on the job. Machine tending applications such as CNCs, die casting machines, press brakes, and dial tables benefit from collaborative automation, which can operate continuously and reliably. You’ll keep your shop running and can move skilled machinists into higher value and more rewarding positions.

Additionally, cobots are at the heart of collaborative welding systems, which can fit into standard welding work cells at a fraction of the cost of traditional automated systems. Automate repetitive or small products that welders don’t like, and shift our best welders to profitable products. The result is more consistent quality and more satisfied workers.

It is affordable and flexible to use collaborative automation as your business needs change, allowing you to move robot arms easily from one task to another. Programming is fast and easy, and programs can be saved for quick changeovers. You won’t have to worry about long downtimes and scrap material while training new and temporary workers. The work will no longer be turned away due to a lack of resources.
