Different cobot brands
Collaborative robots are becoming increasingly important and the demand for automation is growing. It is therefore not surprising that the number of types of cobots has increased significantly in recent years. In total, there are now about 30 different cobot manufacturers that focus on the production and development of cobots. Of these, Universal Robots is the largest with almost half the market share.
Cobots each have their own unique features and specifications. Anyone who wants to start a cobot automation project will need to look closely at the requirements for successful integration. Range, load capacity, accuracy, speed and the number of axes are important specifications to look at beforehand. Phoenix Calibration works primarily with three different brands of cobots; Universal Robots, Techman Robot and Franka Emika. Take a look below at the different cobot brands and their unique features.

This allows the robots to perform a wide variety of applications. All robots have 6 degrees of freedom, are extremely flexible and can be easily integrated into existing production environments. The reach ranges from 500 to 1300 millimeters.
