Combining Universal Robots and Numatics G3

Many customers wanting to automate their manufacturing processes are looking for flexible and portable automation solutions. The Universal Robot is a proven solution for these types of applications given its size, ease of programming, and collaborative operation. For these reasons, many customers may install a Universal Robot in one application and want to easily disconnect and redeploy it for a completely different application.

Do Collaborative Robots Have Singularities?

It has been interesting to discuss Collaborative Robot technologies with different audiences over the years. For those that haven’t had much experience with robot technology, the idea of a force limited robot certainly has a “wow” factor to it and normally there are very few technical concerns. It is very normal for there to be an expectation that if it is advanced enough to safely operate without a safety cage (pending a risk assessment), then it must be advanced enough to do virtually anything.
