OB7 collaborative robots can be used in high volume production as well as short runs and high-mix/low-volume jobs, including mill tending, lathe tending, deburring, welding, gluing, packaging, QC testing, part marking and sanding. With OB7 cobots, no cage is required. Each model of OB7 collaborative robots works safely alongside people. When equipped with safety sensors and people aren’t present, OB7 can safely work at high speeds, then slow to safe speeds when people are nearby. Also, OB7’s zero programming means no coding, classes or special training needed.
