Universal Robots showcases collaborative robots for innovative automation
|
UR5e - Accurate packaging and processing
For tasks which require repetitive picking, placing or processing of delicate items, such as packaging, dispensing, gluing and welding, the UR5e can be easily deployed to automate these processes with accuracy. This lightweight, adaptable and flexible robotic arm with a payload of up to 5 kg has a small working radius of 850 mm, taking up relatively little space and can be placed safely alongside human workers. UR5e can be used in most processing applications by customizing the extensions to requirements, with proven results of reducing assembly times, increasing production speed, and improving the quality of output.
UR10 - Palletizing solution
Furthermore, UR is addressing the growing concerns around manual palletizing operations that potentially place a strain and overexertion on human workers. Amongst the top five reasons for manufacturing workplace injuries, 8 percent are due to repetitive motions and 24 percent are due to overexertion. Made for heavier loads and more robust tasks such as repetitive heavy-lifting, the UR10 cobot is designed with a load capacity of 10 kg and a reach of 1,300 mm to automate heavier tasks, making palletizing operation simpler, faster and more efficient.
UR20 - Next generation of cobots
UR will be debuting their recently launched UR20 at Propak Vietnam, the next generation UR cobot with a reach of 1,750 mm and an unprecedented 20 kg payload.
Patented technology for safe usage & intuitive set up
All UR cobots utilize a patented technology which allows operators with no programming experience to quickly set up and operate cobots with intuitive, 3D visualization. Users simply move the robot arm to desired waypoints, or touch the arrow keys on an easy-to-use touchscreen tablet to set up a wide range of applications for varied industries, company sizes, and product nature.
Eighty percent of the thousands of UR cobots worldwide operate with no safety guarding (after risk assessment), right beside human operators. The UR patented technology limits the forces when the robotic arm comes into contact with a person. UR cobots can also be programmed to operate at a reduced speed mode when a human enters the robot’s work area, and resume full speed when the person leaves. The safety system of UR cobots is approved and certified by TÜV (The German Technical Inspection Association).
"Automation with collaborative robots is more than just the deployment of robots for increased productivity and efficiency. It opens up new opportunities to businesses in Vietnam, enables faster payback and further embraces the changing trends in the processing and packaging industry. It is a step forward in creating a world where people ascend to more interesting and safer tasks, a world where humans work with robots, not like robots," concluded Tuan Anh Nguyen, Vietnam Country Manager, Universal Robots.
The UR cobots will be available for orders at Propak Vietnam 2022. Universal Robots promises to deliver orders within two weeks to alleviate supply chain concerns.
The packaging industry is one of the fastest growing markets in Vietnam. The paper packaging market in Vietnam alone was valued at US$2.06 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach US$3.11 billion by 2027, according to Mordor Intelligence. The rapidly rising market and demand for a shorter production lead time is driving a surge in the adoption of advanced technologies and automated solutions to increase productivity and to reduce fatigue and strain for employees. |
