Frequently asked questions

What’s a cobot vs an industrial robot?+

Collaborative robots (cobots) are built to work safely alongside people without guarding; traditional industrial arms are faster but usually need a safety cage.

How precise is it?+

See the repeatability spec (in mm). Lower is more precise — most cobots repeat to within ±0.05 mm, easily handling assembly and machine tending.

How hard is it to program?+

Modern cobots use drag-to-teach or tablet programming — you guide the arm through positions by hand. Complex jobs may still need an integrator.
