APL are experts in collaborative robot integration, providing a full bespoke manufacturing solution tailored for you. APL offer highly trained, skilled expertise in robotic integrations, mechanical design and build engineering etc.

Collaborative robots (cobots) are flexible and easy to program robots that work alongside operators without safety fencing and guarding. As a robotic system specialist with nearly 30 years experience, APL understand collaboratvie robot capabilities and technologies. We will analyse your application and provide best collaborative robot solution to meet the application’s needs and restrictions.

Why cobots?

Easy Programming

Collaborative robots technology lets operators with no programming experience quickly set up and operate cobots with intuitive, 3D visualization. Simply move the robot arm to desired waypoints or touch the arrow keys on the easy-to-use touchscreen tablet.

Fast Set Up

Industrial Robots have revolutionized robot set-up, reducing typical robotic deployment measured in weeks to a matter of hours. The average set-up time reported by our customers is only half a day. The out-of-box experience for an untrained operator to unpack the robot, mount it, and program the first simple task is typically less than an hour.

Flexible Deployment

Don’t be limited by dedicated robotics. Cobots are lightweight, space-saving, and easy to re-deploy to multiple applications without changing your production layout. Moving the robot to new processes is fast and easy, giving you the agility to automate almost any manual task, including those with small batches or fast change-overs. The robot is able to re-use programs for recurrent tasks.

Collaborative and Safe

Cobots are designed to be safe around operators, either by force limiting to avoid injury if they touch or by sensors that prevent touching. Now you can replace human operators in dirty, dangerous, and dull jobs to reduce repetitive strain and accidental injuries. Cobots can operate with no safety guarding (after risk assessment), right beside human operators.

Fast Payback

Cobots gives you all the advantages of advanced robotic automation, with none of the traditional added costs associated with robot programming, set-up, and dedicated, shielded work cells. Finally, robotic automation is affordable for small and medium sized enterprises.

Affordable

Cobots are less expensive than traditional industrial robots; They have high return on investment because they are simpler to install and no need of a robot programming expert.

Best Tasks

Quick and short tasks
Repetitive tasks or tasks that require high dexterity
Unstructured tasks
Pick & Place, Packaging
Loading/unloading, sorting & handling
Manufacturing
Fine assembling

SMEs could benefit greatly from the use of cobots due to their more dynamic and less-structured environment.

How APL help

Help you choose the right robot for your needs

There is a wide range of cobots on the market which are designed to excel in a huge range of applications. Single arm or dual arm, 6-axis or 7-axis? Different cobots have reach, weight, payload limits and footprint differences. APL help you choose the right one for your application.

Hands-on demonstration

As it is so easy to program and so quick to set up, APL provide hands-on demonstration. If you would like to see a cobot in action, it can be done on site and in the space fo just a few hours. Contact us to schedule an onsite demonstration.
