In today’s industrial landscape, the demand for safer, more versatile, and easily integrable solutions has driven the rise of collaborative robotics. Collaborative robots, or cobots, allow humans and machines to work side by side without the need for complex physical barriers, opening up new possibilities across production lines, laboratories, small businesses, and highly customized environments.
At URT’s facilities in Zamudio, near Bilbao (Vizcaya), a precision test was recently carried out on the Fanuc M-20iA robot as part of the company’s industrial robot reconditioning process. The goal was to verify and certify that this model meets the highest standards of repeatability, positioning accuracy, and load response—key factors in demanding industrial environments.
Industrial inspection has evolved from being a “necessary cost” to becoming a true driver of productivity. Collaborative robotics and modular platforms now enable small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as mid-sized manufacturers, to integrate quality control cells with ease. This approach helps overcome barriers related to cost, complexity, and space—without requiring major investments. In this
