High-speed Racer-5 COBOT combines flexibility and collaborative safety

Comau will exhibit a vast portfolio of smart manufacturing solutions at the
Automatica Sprint digital trade event, held online from June 22nd to 24th.
Inside the digital space, attendees can experience the company’s unique
HUMANufacturing approach to Industry 4.0 together with the products and
technologies that enable it. These include exciting products such as the new
Racer-5 COBOT, the indoor-outdoor functionality of Comau’s MATE-XT wearable
exoskeleton, and electrification-enabling solutions designed to increase
productivity and efficiency within the evolving Smart Factory.

Among the advanced automation, digitalization and electrification solutions
on display, the company will feature its dedicated machining centers and
interconnected digital technologies able to transmit, elaborate and analyze
machine and process data. These include in.Grid, the IIot data analysis
platform enables real-time monitoring of equipment and systems;
MI.RA/Thermography, an innovative, in-line testing and quality control
system that uses thermal imaging and artificial intelligence; and the
highly-specialized Comau Laser Lab which offers advanced operational
solutions in electrification. Comau will also present its e.DOTM Experience
platform, which uses robotics as an engaging learning tool thanks to the
interactive and open-source e.DO robot.

Of particular interest is the new RACER-5-0.80 (Racer-5 COBOT), a 6-axis
articulated cobot with a 5 kg payload and 809 mm reach  that can
automatically switch from industrial robot speed to collaborative speed in
complete safety. For ergonomic support during strenuous or repetitive tasks,
Comau’s MATE-XT exoskeleton is the only commercially-available exoskeleton
with EAWS certification, attesting to its proven ability to reduce
biomechanical loads. Finally, Comau’s Smart Drive machining solutions
deliver fast, precise and flexible machining processes, while its Urane 25
horizontal machining center, featuring linear motors and electric spindles,
ensures high-speed performance and stable, long-term accuracy.
