Exploring the Flexibility of Robots

Indus­tri­al robots have been mak­ing man­u­fac­tur­ing eas­i­er for more than forty years now. As the robots become more and more high­ly evolved, they become more flex­i­ble, and even eas­i­er for man­u­fac­tur­ers to inte­grate into their pro­duc­tion lines.

A robot’s flex­i­bil­i­ty is inte­gral to how it oper­ates on a pro­duc­tion line. An indus­tri­al robot is able to bend and stretch in ways that humans can­not mim­ic. With this option of a much greater reach, man­u­fac­tur­ers have the abil­i­ty to use robots at sev­er­al dif­fer­ent sta­tions, instead of at just one place on a pro­duc­tion line. Many robots have the abil­i­ty to rotate 360 degrees, which means that a work area can be very versatile.

Anoth­er way that robots are flex­i­ble is their abil­i­ty to per­form sev­er­al dif­fer­ent kinds of appli­ca­tions. Many robots can han­dle mate­r­i­al, as well as weld and/​or remove mate­r­i­al. With these types of robots on the line, man­u­fac­tur­ers are not only able to speed up their pro­duc­tion and improve their accu­ra­cy, but also save mon­ey by cut­ting down on the amount of equip­ment nec­es­sary to per­form pro­duc­tion tasks.

Robots​.com pro­vides robots from sev­er­al dif­fer­ent robot­ics com­pa­nies, includ­ing Fanuc, Motoman, KUKA, and ABB, has access to sev­er­al hun­dred flex­i­ble robot mod­els. Our cus­tomers are able to work with our staff all the way from the ini­tial con­sul­ta­tion to the inte­gra­tion into their facil­i­ty, hav­ing a hand in design­ing and build­ing the robot from begin­ning to end.
