1. Easy to program.
Some new collaborative robots are designed to be user friendly and easy to program, eliminating the need for engineers to implement them. Some even have the manual guidance function. The cooperative robot can learn something through examples, and can guide according to a series of actions required to complete its programming tasks.
2. Fast installation.
The longer it takes to set up automation, the more expensive the initial investment becomes. The high costs of staff training, production stoppage and the need to hire external service providers may extend the time to return on investment. For small and medium-sized companies, these may cause great problems.
This point was taken into account when designing the cooperative robot, and the out of the box function was required. The pre-programmed software allows users to install robots themselves, so users can set them in less than 30 minutes. In addition, the flexibility brought by the short setup time of cooperative robots improves productivity and return on investment.
3. Flexible deployment.
One of the main selling points of cooperative robots is flexibility. Programming a cooperative robot for a new task is simple and requires no external service personnel. This introduces versatility into the production line, and it is easy to set up the cooperative robot to perform a series of different tasks on the same day, or to specify the date of work for some tasks.
Collaborative robots can be easily integrated into agile systems because they enable users to quickly respond to design changes and reset collaborative robots accordingly. Cooperative robots in the current market can play many roles, usually service roles and industrial roles. The service-oriented cooperative robot is used to provide information, transport goods or provide security protection in public places. Industrial cooperative robots have many applications, including but not limited to picking and placing, packaging and palletizing, assembly, machine maintenance, surface finishing, and quality testing and inspection.
4. Consistency of results.
Robots are never tired, so their results are more consistent and accurate than those of humans who do the same work. This makes them particularly suitable for monotonous tasks because they can repeat simple actions without degrading the quality of work. As long as it is set up, cooperative robots can perform the same tasks with the same ability.
5. Improve productivity and streamline processes.
In the process of taking over human employees, it is difficult for employees to focus on or maintain the performance at a consistent level for a long time, while the robot's accuracy reduces the possibility of failures and product defects to almost zero. Quickly change the tasks to be performed by the cooperative robot, which helps workers optimize the production line and cut costs while maintaining high standards of product quality.
6. The investment payback period is fast.
The cost of the cooperative robot is lower than that of the industrial robot, and which application to use and how long to use it also determine that the cooperative robot can quickly recover the investment cost. Because cooperative robots have the advantages of high flexibility in application, low price, and quick cost recovery, enterprises can usually recover their costs in three to four months, which has led to significant business growth in China, Brazil, India, Mexico and other regions, and has provided effective solutions in certain manufacturing enterprises.
7. The comprehensive use cost is low.
The cooperative robot is maintenance free, has only 150 watts of power, does not need a safety fence, and does not need special robot programming and maintenance personnel, which greatly reduces the cost investment in the operation process.
8. Collaboration and security.
Cooperative robots can ensure the highest security. More than 80% of cooperative robots in the world work beside workers without using traditional fences. Cooperative robots can free workers from dirty, dangerous, boring and injury prone jobs.
