Once the preserve of high-volume operations at automotive plants, we’re today finding that robots are infiltrating all sectors of the commercial world. Even beyond traditional manufacturing, inspection and packaging operations, we see robots fulfilling tasks that extend from mining and space exploration, through to surgery and laboratory research, and even fruit picking. With such a vast repertoire of applications, the robots of today need one principal attribute: flexibility. Much of this flexibility comes courtesy of the end-of-arm tooling (gripper), which means there are many factors to bear in mind when selecting a gripper technology supplier, not least breadth of portfolio, proven customisation capabilities and high levels of customer support.

Mens robotics førte an i den hastige vækst indenfor automation, ser vi kollaborative robotter som en demokratisering af robotteknologien. De reducerer de omkostninger og den komplekse programmering som robotter normalt kræver - samtidigt med at de giver en meget større fleksibilitet.
