Cobot Automation Case Studies

Cobots are quickly becoming more and more popular with businesses of all sizes due to the benefits they offer and their ease of deployment. The small, flexible robots allow SME’s to remain competitive and larger businesses to respond to changes, improve efficiencies and reduce costs.

Reeco has worked with a number of companies in a variety of industries, installing over 70 bespoke automation solutions in the last four years, take a look at some of our Cobot applications/case studies below.

Cobot Assembly Automation Solutions…

Assembly Automation

Supporting Cobots in being fully autonomous in screw tightening applications, Screw feeders are an essential component in allowing Cobots to run for a long time unaided, improving productivity and uptime…

screw Tightening…

Screw tightening applications may require specified levels of torque, which Cobots can achieve repeatedly. Integrating Cobots into assembly lines can help standardise and support production goals…

screw Tightening…

As Cobots are closer in payload and reach capabilities to humans they are better at mimicking smaller human tasks, such as ensuring bolts are tightened, with greater precision…

bolt tightening…

Where accuracy and production requirements are strict, automating bolt tightening with robots provides an additional layer of quality assurance, allowing you to tighten to precise torque values…

bolt Tightening…

Robots excel at manipulating materials, operating much like a human arm, they can complete complex series’ of movements on their own, unlike more traditional mechanical methods of automation…

bolt Tightening…

By having a robot dispense the proper amount of glue, it standardises the whole gluing and bonding process. Robotics turns the task from a variable one, to a measurable one with data and results…

Gluing & Dispensing…

Improved quality and consistency is a benefit sought by many manufacturers. Cobots’ high accuracy and repeatability make them great at tasks which require continuous operation with a uniform output…

Automated Assembly…

As robots can be equipped with an undefined number of tooling solutions, from market ready tools such as grippers to bespoke tools such as dispensers, they are effective in most material handling applications…

Automated Assembly…

More traditional automation systems are ‘hard’ mechanical machinery which are inflexible and thus difficult to adapt to new products. Newer automation methods, such as Cobots have bridged this gap…

Automated Assembly…

Combining Cobots with other automation solutions such as bowl feeders, we are able to create more self sufficient solutions which are capable of fiddly placements and assembly tasks…
