Universal Robots has reinvented industrial robotics
Published on Dec 6, 2012
Universal Robots has reinvented industrial robotics with lightweight, flexible robot arms. Tasks previously thought impossible to automate due to cost and complexity, are now achievable with the user-friendly robots. The Danish-designed robot arms work separately or as dual arms demonstrated here with the UR5. In more than 45 countries, from the small machine shop to the large auto assembly line, Universal Robots optimize production, relieve employees from strenuous or monotonous tasks, and ensure quality control.

Robot colleague from Universal Robots boosts the bottom line
Published on Oct 1, 2013
For Stantrak, automation means growth. The company, that processes sheet metal and coils, is now able to expand production with no significant increases in payroll. From 2008 to 2013, revenue almost doubled from $4M/€3.2M to $7M/€5.4M while the number of employees only increased from 21 to 28. Much of the added work load is now handled by Universal Robots.

Universal Robots to Ring the NASDAQ Closing Bell for Launch of ROBO-STOX
Published on Nov 7, 2013
The UR5 robot arm from Universal Robots will ring the NASDAQ Closing Bell on Tuesday, November 12 to mark the launch of the ROBO-STOX™ Global Robotics and Automation Index ETF (Ticker Symbol: ROBO). The robotic bell ringing marks the first time a non-human performs this prestigious task.
To ring the NASDAQ closing bell, the UR5 robot arm was integrated with a three-fingered SDH gripper from Schunk, a German company which makes clamping technology. UR5 weighs only 40 pounds and can handle a payload of up to 11.3 pounds. The programming to ring the bell is through an intuitive 3D tablet touchscreen — or by just grabbing the robot arm to demonstrate the desired movement. This video shows UR5 in action.

Universal Robots automates Singaporean precision engineering firm
Published on Jul 7, 2014
The shortage of skilled labour coupled with rising material and real estate costs have become huge issues for companies in Singapore. Eager to stay ahead of the game, local SME, PLC Industries (PLC), began automating their production lines in February 2014. Armed with two UR10s, PLC is already reaping rewards of increased efficiency, reliability and significant cost savings.
"I was most impressed by how quiet the robots function -- you hardly notice them, but they can go about their work 24/7 with no glitches. It is not aggressive in its outlook and gives workers that peace of mind to concentrate on their individual tasks. With a payback period of under a year for each robot paired with the positive experience we have had so far, we are confident in achieving greater success by strengthening our collaboration with Universal Robots in the years to come," says Yong Hock Thye, Business Development Director, PLC Industries.

From 0 to 42 robots in two years: Automation challenge solved by Universal Robots
Published on Nov 6, 2014
For years, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions researched the market in vain, trying to find a robot suitable for their production needs. Universal Robots turned out to be the solution they were looking for. Up until then, Trelleborg had no robots involved in its annual production of millions of products.
But when the solution was found, things really took off. In 1.5 years, the factory has installed 38 UR5 robots and 4 UR10 robots followed by swift gains in productivity; orders have risen so sharply that 50 new employees were needed at the factory in Helsing?r, Denmark despite the arrival of the new robot colleagues.
Results & Advantages of using UR Robots:
• Reduces the time of delivery significantly.
• Improves product quality.
• Attracts an increased amount of business as the robots enable Trelleborg to be even more price.competitive than before.
• Created growth and thus 50 new jobs within 2 years.
• Solved restricted space challenge as the robots can operate without shielding at Trelleborg
• Ushered in a new way of thinking in the company: Employees now consider employing a robot wherever they encounter automation opportunities.
• Enables agile manufacturing: The operators easily adjust the robots to new sizes of items.

Universal Robots helps Betacom light up New Zealand
Published on Jun 1, 2015
A New Zealand outdoor lighting manufacturer has invested in robotic technology to ensure it stays ahead of the competition curve. Established in 1988, Betacom Limited designs, manufactures and assembles a range of road, area and tunnel lighting products which are sold throughout New Zealand and Australia. The company’s 3,500 square metre manufacturing and product design facility in Christchurch applies many technologies to ensure the highest quality product is delivered to its customers.
However, Betacom wanted to increase its automation capabilities so they sought out the advice and counsel of project engineering group, Design Energy. To assist in finding an affordable and flexible solution, the team at Design Energy quickly resolved to apply a UR10 robot which is developed and manufactured by Universal Robots, a leader in the new industrial collaborative robotics market. The UR10 was deployed to take over specialised production line tasks and support higher volume manufacturing runs. The enhanced automation enabled Betacom to service new high volume jobs with unparalleled precision due to increased orders for its new range of LED road lighting products from city councils throughout the country.
