Light Automation Toolkit For Collaborative Robotics

Broetje-Automation‘s modular framework light and collaborative robotics allows the integration of a wide range of manufacturing processes as well as multiple configurations on mobile or stationary platforms.

Applications are focused on supporting manual workflows where full automation is not possbile or accessibility is not suitable for industrial robots. Collaborative robots (CoBots) assist workers in their daily tasks by supporting unergonomic or repetitive tasks. They increase value creation and improve quality as well as productivity.
