Introducing Two New Flexible Mobile Cobots from OpiFlex

Introduction

In the rapidly evolving field of robotics and automation, flexibility and adaptability are key. Enter OpiFlex, a pioneer in creating innovative solutions for high mix and low volume production environments. Recently, OpiFlex has expanded its "Swedish Army Knife of Robots" product range with two new flexible mobile cobots: a small cobot with and without patented fenceless safety solutions. These new additions promise to enhance productivity, safety, and ease of use for businesses of all sizes. Watch the introduction video here.

Benefits of a Small Flexible Cobot that is Safe

When it comes to automation, the need for a small, flexible cobot cannot be overstated. These cobots offer several advantages:

  • Mobility and Flexibility: They can be easily relocated and adapted to various tasks, making them ideal for dynamic production environments.
  • Safety: The OpiFlex patented fenceless safety technology ensures compliance with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Annex II 1. A (EN ISO 10218-2), providing a safe working environment without the need for physical barriers.

Fast and Easy Creation of Robot Programs with OpiFlex Patented Dynamic Program Generator

Programming industrial robots has traditionally been a complex and time-consuming task. However, OpiFlex has revolutionized this process with its patented Dynamic Program Generator. Here’s how it works:

  • Ease of Use: Operators can create a full robot program for tasks such as machine tending or material handling within 1-5 minutes, without needing specialized skills.
  • Eliminates Hassles: Unlike other easy robot programming solutions that require handling I/O, logic, error handling, and motion, the Dynamic Program Generator simplifies the process, allowing for quick and hassle-free programming.

Creating Flexible and Future-Proof Robot Solutions

With OpiFlex’s flexible mobile cobots, businesses can future-proof their production lines. The benefits include:

  • Quick Adaptation: Easily add new products to the robot cell and swiftly adapt to new machines or applications as needed.
  • Growth Potential: These cobots grow with your business, enabling the creation of flexible and future-proof factories that can handle varying production demands.

Two Versions of OpiFlex solutions with ABB Gofa Cobot

OpiFlex offers two versions of its mobile cobots, each catering to different needs:

  • Version 1: OpiFlex Mobile Cobot

    • High Precision Docking: Features manual locking with an option for a fixed lifter.
    • Standard ABB Safety Solution: Note that this version is not CE marked and requires integrators to fulfill ISO/TS 15066:2016 compliance.

  • Version 2: OpiFlex MRP 10

    • Advanced Docking: Provides automatic and monitored locking with a fully seventh-axis automatic lifter.
    • Dynamic Program Generator: Enables quick and easy programming for operators without specialized skills.
