Assembly

Modern assembly lines cater to a wide range of production needs on different scales. Across industries, collaborative robot arms from Universal Robots can reduce assembly times, increase production speed, and improve product quality.

Assembly Line Cobots

At the heart of many manufacturing operations is the assembly line, where individual components are brought together to develop unified systems. However, traditional automation with conventional, larger robots often brings safety risks and maintenance headaches that can lead to costly downtimes. The lack of flexibility of traditional automation equipment makes it particularly challenging for companies to align their facilities with the increasing trend of High-Mix Low-Volume (HMLV) manufacturing.

Collaborative robots are revolutionizing automation. Perfect for assembly line tasks like screwdriving and part insertion, these user-friendly machines can be easily reprogrammed to meet shifting production needs. By integrating cobots, manufacturers can enhance workplace safety and adapt quickly, ensuring a smoother, more efficient assembly line for everyone involved.

Free up resources

Siemens Gerätewerk Erlangen (GWE) transformed its production with over 70 UR10e cobots from Universal Robots, overcoming labor shortages and avoiding the cost pressures linked to traditional robots in mid-volume production. These compact, versatile cobots introduced a new level of flexibility, efficiently handling everything from assembly and palletizing to quality inspection.

Consistent output

Bajaj Auto Ltd.’s demanding multi-model production needed a fresh approach to automate its diverse, labor-intensive assembly processes. By introducing UR10 cobots, Bajaj not only provided its predominantly female workforce with physical support but also achieved high precision and standardization across various motorcycle models.

Faster production

The UR10 cobot from Universal Robots provided significant relief to the assembly staff at Opel’s Eisenach plant, who previously faced the physically demanding and ergonomically challenging task of screwing air conditioning compressors onto engine blocks. These cobots, designed to handle the high counterforce of tightening screws, now process up to 30 engines per hour across various models, helping the plant streamline production and adopt lean manufacturing principles.
