WHAT ARE ROBOTICS?

Robotics involves the use of robots and all ancillary components to perform tasks throughout the manufacturing process that were previously performed by humans. Robotics is transforming the manufacturing landscape, bringing unprecedented levels of efficiency, precision, and productivity, particularly in performing the repetitive non-value add tasks which, in turn, frees the human workers to flourish in more complex and creative tasks. With an investment in robotics, manufacturers can streamline processes, reduce human error, improve safety in the workplace, and achieve consistent, high-quality output. With expected technological advancements, robotic technology will continue to improve and continue to payback have applicability on an even wider range of applications. As part of staying competitive and relevant in this fast-changing world, manufacturers of all sizes must continually evaluate robotics in their suite of process solutions.

OUR ROBOTICS OFFERINGS

Collaborative Robots

Collaborative robots are appropriate for a large number of repetitive applications across multiple industries, and they can quickly adapt to the needs of changing application scenarios by means of easy-to-use open-source, fully customizable software. Our collaborative robots are ISO 150 compliant, so they integrate with all standard end-of-arm tooling. With 6-degrees of freedom, each cobot is designed to retain flexibility regardless of the variables of the application environment. Every joint in the cobot is designed to be fully modular, so in the rare case that a cobot needs servicing, any joint can be swapped out quickly and easily. Some common applications where collaborative robots excel include

  • Machine Tending
  • Material Handling and Palletizing
  • Pick and Place
  • Quality Inspection
  • Welding

End of Arm Tooling

All robots require the appropriate end of arm tooling (EOAT) to perform and complete the required task.  EFP offers a full suite of EOAT options that include electric, pneumatic, and vacuum solutions as well as turnkey welding solutions. The EOAT solutions are generally easy to integrate with the robot from both a hardware and software perspective.  Specific features of EOAT components includes:

  • High gripping power in a lightweight body
  • Easily adjustable grip speed
  • Quick mounting

WHY CHOOSE OUR ROBOTICS OFFERINGS

Safety

Collaborative robots are designed to minimize the risks of accidents and injuries in the workplace. Collaborative robots are equipped with sensors to avoid collisions, overall force limitations, and smooth designs. Improved safety and less human accidents, boosts productivity and reduces operating cost for the end user.

Flexibility

Collaborative robots can be easily programmed, even by inexperienced users, as most of the programming is taught by moving the robot arm. This allows for collaborative robots to be deployed across multiple tasks at the same facility with quick changeover times.

Low Cost Deployment

The time and cost of deploying a collaborative robot are minimal due to the ease of programming and no additional safety requirements that are standard for an industrial robot.

Fast and Safe ROI

Collaborative robots offer the lowest upfront costs of any robotics solution, the quickest and easiest deployment, and the most flexibility for use in multiple applications across the worksite. In terms of robotics investments, collaborative robots offer the lowest risk and an ROI that can be months, not years.
