Collaborative Robot (Cobot)
A collaborative robot is designed with capabilities that support collaborative applications. Whether people can safely share its working area depends on the complete configured task and installation.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
As a kind of robot designed to interact with humans at close range in a common working space, collaborative robots can make robots and humans work together on the production line, so that robots can completely get rid of the shackles of guardrails or cages, and give full play to the robot’s Efficiency and human intelligence. This kind of machine can balance the necessity of safety with the demand for flexible productivity.
Rounded geometry, monitored motion and force-related functions can support collaboration. Payload, reach and end-effector hazards remain application-specific.
Contact conditions, fixtures, speeds and workpiece characteristics belong in assessment. A collaborative-capable arm does not make every attached process suitable for shared operation.
What turns activity into demand
Demand follows tasks suited to the chosen human-machine working method. The robot arm, tooling, assessment, integration and commissioned workstation have different supply scope.
The commercial boundary
The robot arm, tooling, assessment, integration and commissioned workstation have different supply scope.
