Control of cobots via bus systems as well as discrete contacts
Cobots are collaborative robots that are usually used for strenuous, repetitive and dangerous tasks in order to relieve employees and also improve quality.
The advantage of cobots is their lightweight design and in many cases simple programming of tasks.
Another advantage: The appliances can be variably equipped with:
- Takern
- Exhaust
- Lifting columns
- Welding, soldering and gluing heads
- Screwing, grinding and drilling units
Under the right conditions, it is possible to operate the Cobot entirely without a safety fence. The robot can work directly with a worker under safety assessment. This depends on the respective application and must be evaluated in its entirety!
The Computer Aided Works system controls cobots via both bus systems and discrete contacts, and can start and monitor tasks to match the clocks. Counting or i.O./n.i.O. assignment is possible and controllable in the process by means of various feedback signals.
The possibilities for using cobots are extremely wide-ranging.
Here is just a small selection:
- Simple pick & place applications
- Machine loading and unloading
- Screwing, gluing, welding and soldering applications
- Assembly of electronics
- Force tests
The limits of robots are only reached when the imagination of humans comes to an end.
With the worker guidance system from Computer Aided Works, you are able to integrate any type of robot or robot manufacturer into the system. The worker guidance system is extremely flexible in its application, even when it comes to palletizing finished parts for shipping. The Computer Aided Works assistance system can also control this step.
