In today’s rapidly evolving manufacturing landscape, efficiency and productivity are paramount. Manufacturers strive for increased output within the shortest possible timeframes, but staffing challenges often pose barriers. With our in-house team, Etavoni has guided customers to expert automated solutions for repetitive, heavy-duty machine-tending tasks to address these issues.
The Role of Cobots in Machine Tending
Collaborative robots (cobots) have emerged as an innovative automation tool capable of performing machine tending tasks such as CNC, injection moulding, press brakes, and stamping brakes. Cobots work alongside human operators, providing high-quality, consistent outputs around the clock. This synergy allows businesses to maintain productivity without compromising on quality or safety.
