Compact Heavy Lifting Solutions: Collaborative Robots

Automation is changing the way industries used to operate. Human workers now have collaborative robots, or cobots, to help them automate jobs that were previously out of the question. Collaborative robots are available in a wide range of sizes and load capacities to work alongside humans and ease their job. Modern innovations ensure that Cobots come equipped with built-in safety mechanism to keep their human colleagues safe. They have rounded edges and softer materials as well as power and force limiting mechanisms to avoid damage and injuries. Plus these modifications ensure minimum discomfort in case of contact. In fact, they also feature sensors that cause the cobot to automatically slow or stop the arm if any human enters the workspace. Considering all the safety factors and advantages that cobots offer, they provide the best heavy compact automation solution for lifting.

If you want to use cobots or collaborative robots, it must have some essential safety features. Therefore, it is crucial to do thorough risk assessment before introducing them to the facility. The assessment should basically include the entire workspace where cobots will be employed, and the interaction of operators with the robot. Risk assessment should include every possible contact situation between humans and the cobot for each job.

Additionally, the operators should be well-trained to handle cobots in their work environment and follow all safety practices that are applicable to them.

With timely risk assessment and safety measures cobots as compact heavy lifting solutions are extremely beneficial for manufacturing companies. They make lifting effortless and affordable. Moreover, they have applications beyond lifting.
