Cobots
Our miniPAL® cobot line are collaborative robots or cobots with compact designs to work alongside employees safely
A cobot, or collaborative robot, is a type of industrial robot that can work safely alongside people. Unlike traditional industrial robots, a cobot does not need safety guarding to protect employees from interacting with it, instead they use sensors and an auto stop function to allow people to work next to them safely.
Their flexibility and ability to adapt easily for different products make them extremely useful for production lines and manufacturing. They are also typically smaller and lighter than other robots, therefore they can be moved to different locations more easily than traditional industrial robots.
Introducing the miniPAL+ Featuring the UR20 Cobot
Columbia/Okura is excited to offer the new miniPAL+ as part of an integrated system in 2023. The cobot features the new UR20 collaborative robot, by Universal Robots, with an increased payload capacity, farther reach, and faster palletizing abilities than our current miniPAL®.
The UR20 cobot is the first of Universal Robots' next generation of high-performance industrial cobots, and is designed to take performance to new heights.
