Collaborative Robots
Accelerate Automation with Collaborative Robots
Collaborative robots (cobots) are low-cost, easy-to-deploy robots that work side-by-side with production workers to improve quality and efficiency.
Designed to work with people and automate repetitive and dangerous work – including machine tending, packaging and palletizing, assembly, material processing, screw and nut driving and more –cobots make the workplace safer and more productive.
TestDream's collaborative automation solutions company, Universal Robots (UR), brings safe, flexible and easy-to-use robots to businesses of every size, all over the world.
Automation for All
Collaborative robots give manufacturers access to all the benefits of advanced robotic automation, without the extra costs associated with traditional robots – difficult programming, long setup and shielded work cells. This makes automation accessible and affordable, even for small-batch production runs and mixed product assembly.
Automate Anything
Usage of cobots spans industries and applications and offers a flexible solution for a wide range of use cases. These human-scale robots are easy to deploy and redeploy to keep pace with your changing needs.
Benefits of Collaborative Robots
Improved Workforce
Cobots automate and streamline repetitive processes, so staff can be assigned to jobs that provide them with new challenges. By automating highly-repetitive tasks, cobots give your team more time to think critically, innovate and make better use of existing resources. The result – better performance, and more importantly, higher levels of satisfaction and employee retention.
Fast ROI
Cost effective, easy-to-deploy and flexible, cobots offer manufacturers a fast path to automation. Cobots are deployed globally every day, without specialized programming, coding or large capital investments, yielding a shorter payback period and higher ROI.
Increased Safety
Cobots reduce workplace injuries and alleviate the heavy financial and operational toll placed on manufacturers. Implementation shifts workers away from dirty and dangerous jobs, offering protection in applications unattainable by traditional robots and production equipment.
Universal Robots
Collaborative Robot Arms
Used in several thousand production environments globally, Universal Robots is the most trusted and widely deployed cobot manufacturer in the world. UR’s collaborative robot arms are used to boost performance and add value across a wide range of industries.
UR’s cobot arms are lightweight and easy to train, enabling manufacturers to deploy robots, without disruption, in a matter of hours. They are highly flexible and can be adjusted and programmed to add value to any environment by taking over repetitive, high-precision tasks.
Proven to drive profitability, performance and safety, UR cobots work in the most rigorous production environments to deliver the ROI manufacturers need.
