Applications
Cobots from Universal Robots are bringing flexible automation to manufacturers of all sizes. From assembly to painting, from palletising to screw-driving, from packaging to polishing, from injection molding to welding, or whatever processing task you can think of, our family of robot arms can help you achieve greater productivity to compete in a global market.
Typical Applications include
Assembly
Produce repeatable, accurate assembly processes such as screw driving, nut driving, part fitting, and insertion while reducing repetitive workplace injuries. With the right adaptor mechanisms, Universal Robots collaborative robot arms can handle assembly of plastics, woods, metals, or other materials.

Finishing
Ensure consistent polishing and buffing using a Universal Robot with built-in force mode – even on curved and uneven surfaces. Polishing, buffing, and even sanding tasks require a specific, often delicate touch. A Universal Robot with force control offers a flexible solution that will automatically adjust position to achieve the desired force.

Material Handling
Streamline your material handling, packaging and palletizing, bin picking, labelling and kitting operations with collaborative robots. Relieve workers from repetitive work and heavy lifting by automating material handling tasks with lightweight collaborative robot arms. Automation helps you combat the rising costs of new product packaging and shortened product life cycles, and makes it easy to keep up with seasonal peaks despite labour shortages.

Welding
A cobot can add flexibility, efficiency, and freedom to your welding processes. Move the welding robot to the areas where you need application support. When the task is finished, you can re-purpose and re-deploy the robot to other areas in your production. Collaborative robots can handle Arc, TIG, laser, MIG, ultrasonic, plasma, and spot welding, as well as soldering and brazing.
