Screw Driving Collaborative Robots

Screwdriving is one of the most vital and ubiquitous tasks in production facilities across the globe. For decades, medium and large manufacturers have been able to use robots to automate screwdriving, but now cobots have arrived to elevate this automation to new levels, and grant access for small-scale manufacturers simultaneously.

JAKA cobots have several advantages over human or conventional automated robot screwdriving. They have the flexibility of humans, capable of being programmed and reprogrammed in just minutes, thanks to drag and visual programming. With no teaching pendant necessary, users without prior programming experience can assign new tasks easily.

They have the precision and consistency of conventional robots, even on brand new tasks, with a repeatability ranging from ±0.02 mm to ±0.03mm. Unlike conventional robots, they can operate side-by-side with humans – not only are they compact, but they don’t require safety fences, thanks to collision detection technology.

They can be installed on a table, on a rack, on a wall or a ceiling. They can be installed on virtually any surface, so long as it’s strong enough, at any angle, without losing their functionality or precision. They combine all the advantages of human and conventional robot automated screwdriving in one unit.
