Collaborative Robot｜Structure and Results from Use in Factories

Collaborative Robots (Cobots) enhance safety, efficiency, and flexibility in industrial factories, while effectively reducing costs and addressing labor shortages.
■ What are Collaborative Robots?
A Collaborative Robot (or Cobot) is a robot that can safely work in the same space as humans, without the need for fences or safety zones typically required for conventional industrial robots.
- Easy to install, convenient to move, suitable for flexible manufacturing.
- Addresses the aging society and labor shortage issues.
- Designed according to ISO 10218 and ISO/TS 15066 standards.
- Equipped with safety sensors such as Torque Sensor and Force Limiter.
■ Basic Structure of Collaborative Robots
A collaborative robot system consists of:
- Multi-axis robotic arm (6 or 7 axes)
Moves like a human arm, supporting diverse tasks.
- Force sensing system
e.g., Torque Sensor, Force Sensor; automatically stops when abnormal force is detected.
- Controller
Manages movement, monitors safety, and supports AI-driven learning.
- End Effector
Supports the installation of grippers, nut runners, picking tools, etc.
- Teaching Interface
Easy to use via Tablet or Teaching Pendant; even beginners can learn in a few hours.
■ Benefits of Using Collaborative Robots
- Reduces repetitive tasks – workforce can focus on higher-value work
Reallocates personnel to analysis or quality control processes.
- Flexibility in production line changes
Supports small-batch, diverse product manufacturing, with convenient robot repositioning.
- Enhanced safety and reduced safety zone costs
No need for protective fences, lowering safety system design costs.
- Consistent work quality
Reduces variability from human labor, lowers defect rates, and increases precision.
■ Precautions for Implementation
1. Risk Assessment
A standard-compliant risk analysis must be conducted for maximum safety.
2. Selection of Appropriate Processes
Not all tasks are suitable for robots; ROI and task characteristics should be carefully considered.
3. Design of Human-Robot Collaboration
A clear collaborative workflow must be designed to ensure smooth, safe, and efficient operation.
