Collaborative and Industrial Robotics
Robotic Automation Solutions by Top Manufacturers
Kassow Robots
Unlike other robot manufacturers whose portfolios usually feature only six-axis models, Kassow Robots exclusively makes robots with 7 fully controlled axes - without compromising payload. These 7 axes give you much more flexibility, as they enable the robot arms to far better replicate the movement of a real human arm.
Universal Robots
This line of collaborative robots provides a flexible alternative to standard industrial automation. By using cobots, repetitive, manual processes can be automated with a cost effective solution that safely operates in the same work environment as humans.
Yaskawa HC20
Yaskawa Motoman has been one of the industry's leading robotic manufacturers for years, and their new release of the HC20 bolsters this reputation. At BlueBay, we've used Motoman on a wide variety of applications and have never been disappointed.
PreciseFlex by Brooks Automation
A new generation of collaborative robots that focus on built-in safety and ease-of-use - enabling non-traditional robot users to automate processes that could not be addressed before. These collaborative robots are safe to use without shielding, which permits them to be deployed more easily and in environments where space and access to the workcell while the robot is operating are critical.
The Wyzo Sidebot
The first high-speed pick & place technology ever to work safely with people. The sidebot is the perfect solution for applications where a collaborative robot (cobot) does not have sufficient performance. The Wyzo™ sidebot allows companies of any size to automate a process that is still manual.
In particular, Wyzo™ is an excellent step towards automation for a growing company that needs to move towards the industrialization of its production equipment.
Meca500
The Meca500 is by far the smallest and most compact, and most precise six-axis industrial robot arm. Unlike most other industrial robots, the Meca500 is a plug-and-work automation component. This makes it very easy to integrate via any computer or PLC.
The Meca500 doesn’t require any training courses, software installations, or additional options to purchase. It’s that simple!
MCS500
Designed for straightforward integration, this new SCARA robot system immediately delivers maximum efficiency and precision at low cost. With fast cycle times and mounting flexibility, it is ideal for a variety of applications including assembly, lab automation and more.
This robot is unique in that it offers a combination of simplicity, precision, and high performance.
