Cobots (collaborating robots or collaborative robots) are increasingly being used in industry and production to automate processes. Due to their low weight, cobots are also known as lightweight robots. They are flexible and easy to transport.
The biggest advantage of cobots, however, lies in their workspace: unlike robots, cobots are specifically designed to work with humans. They are used in the direct vicinity of employees and do not require a protective enclosure. Special sensors ensure that the work of the cobots stops immediately if a human reaches into their working field. This opens up new avenues in industrial production; cobots can support skilled workers by taking over simple, repetitive tasks.
To ensure a smooth workflow, the working conditions and the working environment must be geared towards cooperation between humans and cobots. Special cobot workstations are used here. häwa is your specialist if you are looking for innovative solutions for a cobot workstation.
