Meet the Cobot HCR-5 A Reliable Robotic
Co-worker

With the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the manufacturing industry is facing a paradigm shift. In response to its ever-changing work environment, manufacturers are increasingly showing interest in robotics. Robots are central to the next generation process system that combines computers, artificial intelligence and information technology used in smart factories. And there are trends showing collaborative robots (also known as cobots) becoming the solution of choice for small batch manufacturers. Cobots have become popular because they are easier to operate with many of the same benefits as industrial robots but are less expensive to maintain.

Cobots are designed to interact directly and alongside humans. They perform simple, repetitive, and tedious tasks as well as any actions that involve potential exposure to contaminants or pose greater risk of injury. This allows human workers to focus more on tasks that require subjectivity, creativity or craft, in a safer collaborative environment.
