Collaborative Robots

At Solara Automation,  we possess extensive experience in integrating cobots with our custom automated equipment to create innovative solutions that have never before been achieved. Our expertise covers a broad spectrum, ranging from individual cobot integration to the incorporation of multiple cobots within a multi-station automation system. If you're unfamiliar with the term "cobot," it refers to robots designed for direct human-robot interaction within a shared space, or situations where humans and robots operate in close proximity. Cobot applications stand in contrast to traditional industrial robot applications, where robots are typically isolated from human contact. Moreover, Solara Automation boasts a wealth of experience in integrating cobots from various manufacturers, each with a wide variety of payload capabilities.

Cobots are revolutionizing manufacturing (and other markets) by becoming smarter, faster, and cheaper. Additionally, manufacturers are increasingly using cobots in a host of applications. They are leveraging these machines not only to reduce the cost of goods but also to address safety and human factors concerns. Furthermore, cobots enable the inspection of parts much faster and more cost-effectively than human capability allows. To discuss your next automation improvement project further, please don't hesitate to contact Solara Automation today.
