This white paper explores how the automation of operations such as quality inspection and metrology – previously reserved for larger companies with hefty budgets – has changed dramatically with the advent of collaborative robots. In the past decade, the emergence of low cost, easy-to-use collaborative industrial robot arms, led by Universal Robots, has made advanced automation available to companies of all sizes. OEM and UR+ certified products for small part measurement, metrology solutions and automated part loading/unloading are featured.
