Schmachtl is a distributor of robotics company Universal Robots (UR), now the market leader in cobots-worldwide. We dedicate this article to UR's success story, which started in Denmark in 2005.

Cobots-flexible use

Investments are based on big decisions that should be carefully thought through in advance. Why an investment in cobots is currently nevertheless beneficial, you will learn in the article.

Do COBOTS FIT YOUR COMPANY?

Cobots are versatile helpers that can make everyday production work easier. When and where cobots are really useful to use and where they also have their limitations, read here

YOUR FIRST COBOT? THIS IS IMPORTANT!

In tomorrow's factory, robots are indispensable and therefore a harmonious interaction between humans and robots is essential. Cobots make such applications, easier than ever.

Cobot or Industrial Robot? A cost...

When the industrial robot is too uneconomical or simply not a good fit, cobots are the first choice. Unlike their heavyweight, fenced-in counterparts that always do the same job, cobots are true chameleons.

COBOTS FOLD CARDBOARDS AND RISE OUTPUT

Even at the end of the value chain, time and money can be saved and "invisible" packaging costs prevented. Automation can reduce packaging costs by up to 40%. Cobots support you in the fast and error-free construction of cartons.

When is a cobot worth it for SMBs?

"My business is too small for a robot.", "Robots are too big and too expensive.", are common doubts of SMEs. But they are unfounded. But practice shows: cobots in particular prove their worth even in smaller companies.
