…fixed-position robots perform tasks from welding to assembly of heavy parts in cages to protect people from injury. This is quite different from “cobots” that are fixed-position robot arms that work collaboratively with people. Enough already. Point made. Robots are complicated, but also essential to manufacturing and distribution going forward. Nearly 500,000 industrial robots were installed worldwide in 2021, according…

…cobots can be used for welding, gluing, deburring, material handling, packing, palletizing, and part marking, the company said. Unlike traditional six-axis cobots, OB7 has been engineered with seven-axis maneuverability. It needs no cage and is able to work alongside human operators because it can sense collisions at every joint, a function that triggers a safe stop. To automate OB7, fabricators…
