Visumatic, an expert in automated fastening technology, built the new fastening cobot assembly platform as a rapid deployment solution to reduce labor costs. This flexible blend of technologies can be implemented on an existing line or as a portable screwdriving workstation.

The new turnkey robotic screwdriving assembly cell offers flexibility, so it can be implemented on an existing line or as a portable workstation. Check out this new video from Viscumatic to see the cobot at work.

The package includes all the process control gear required to get automation done and offers a quick start-up, thanks to Visumatic’s plug-and-perform turnkey assembly. This removes any robotic automation barriers as there’s no need for a specialized programmer.

The six-axis robot has the agility required to handle parts with compound surfaces today and in the future.
