The Benefits of Collaborative Robots
If You Can Think it, They Can Do It
In the past, robot technology was big, bulky, hard to maneuver, and typically built to perform just one task. Cobots are lightweight, space-saving, and easy to re-deploy to support numerous applications without the need to change your production time. Moving a cobot from one task or process to another is fast and easy, providing the agility to automate even small batch runs and frequent line change-overs.
Dirty, Dangerous or Dull - The Perfect Job For A Cobot
In many production environments, cobots are given the dirty, dangerous, and dull jobs to cobots to reduce the risk of accidental injuries and repetitive strain to humans. In fact, the majority of robots operated worldwide, do so without a safety guard.
Easy To Operate
Cobots can be easily set up and operated - there's no programming experience needed. Intuitive, 3D visualization lets you easily move the robot arm to desired waypoints or touch the arrow keys on the easy-to-use touchscreen tablet.
Up And Running In Only A Few Hours
Cobots can be deployed in a matter of hours - many times in less than half a day. In fact, Han-Tek can have the robot mounted, programmed and perform a production task in less than an hour.
Cost-Effective Around-The-Clock
Upfront costs for cobots are typically only 20% the cost of traditional robots, with an average payback in as little as six to eight months. Best of all, unlike traditional robots, they can also be redeployed to support different tasks along the production line and used around-the-clock.
Han-Tek is a Universal Robots Certified Systems Integrator
Han-Tek has been approved as a Certified System Integrator for Universal Robots. Universal Robots is the leader in the robotics community, and has been instrumental in the rapid introduction, acceptance, and deployment of collaborative robots (cobots) worldwide. Han-Tek has been recognized as a CSI by Universal for its expertise in helping customers integrate cobots into existing production line applications or developing custom automation workflows, integrating cobot technologies.

If You Can Think It, A Cobot Can Do It!
Cobots are an industry enabler – expanding the benefits of flexible, affordable automation across a wide range of industries and tasks. From assembly to painting, from palletizing to screw-driving, from packaging to polishing, from injection molding to welding, or whatever processing task you can think of, cobots can enable greater productivity and production efficiencies.
Thanks to their smaller scale, affordability, and flexibility, cobots offer the significant benefits of industrial automation to numerous applications, including:
Lab Analysis
Because of their small size and lightweight robot design, cobots can be easily deployed for applications in lab testing and analysis applications. Moving the analysis and testing cobot from one process to another is fast and easy, giving you the agility to automate almost any manual task, including those with small batches or fast change-overs.
Machine Tending
Cobots are ideal for managing the repetitive, uneventful work of machine tending. This helps relieve employees of repetitive work - freeing their time to be deployed to other tasks that can add value to your business. Considering the fast, flexible deployment of cobots, you can quickly adapt production lines for new products.
Industrial Assembly
Cobots are ideal for manual assembly work. They provide the consistent speed and accurate repeatability essential in every manufacturing and assembly setup. This makes cobots operate safely so they are ideal for the more dangerous, dirty and awkward tasks.
Pick and Place
Cobots are ideal for a wide range of pick and place tasks. They can be used in tasks requiring a high degree of positioning accuracy to those requiring a vision system to place the part. The outstanding repeatability ensures exceptional accuracy.
Quality Inspection
Our cobots carry vision sensors that can inspect several checkpoints in different places on a part with high precision and accuracy. We also provide access to a wide range of proven 2D and 3D inspection sensors, all easily integrated.
Injection Molding
A small footprint and light weight design makes installing a cobot to support an injection molding machine (IMM) fast, easy and inexpensive. Simply mount a cobot on top of or beside an IMM and they can work alongside human operators. You can even teach a robot where parts are located by simply dragging the cobot arm to the right position and program.
Gluing, Dispensing, and Welding
Cobots can provide easy access to the consistent speed, repeatability, and force control essential for a wide range of production processes. This enables you to automate key manufacturing processes including gluing, dispensing, screw driving, painting, grinding, deburring, polishing, and more.
Packaging and Palletizing
With their small footprint, unrestricted workplace and high repeatability, cobots are ideal for packaging and precision palletizing in many industries, including food and beverage, metalworking, machining, plastics, molding and others.
