Buying an industrial or collaborative robot is a big investment that can seem intimidating especially if it's your first robot or you're an SMB. elliTek's Systems Group shares some tips to help make the process easier for you and your company.
STAY WITHIN YOUR BUDGET
Before you begin, it is vital to know what you can and what you are willing to spend on a robotic system. Part of the budgetary process is determining how quickly you can make a return on your investment.
ROBOT CHOICES
The industrial robot and cobot markets have so many different options from which to choose. By determining your budget first, you can then decide on the robot model that fits your application. elliTek has a variety of robotic solutions from multiple manufacturers. Our Automation Experts will help you narrow down your selections based on your application needs, reach and payload requirements, and manufacturer preference.
CONSIDER A PRE-ENGINEERED ROBOTIC WORK CELL
elliTek's pre-engineered robotic work cells include the robot, controller, teach pendant, optional end-of-arm tooling, optional safety guarding, and all the programming to match a specific part and application. A custom work cell is built to fit individual specifications and requirements. elliTek is capable of both.
THINK ABOUT ROBOT INTEGRATION
Robot integration is the process of programming and outfitting robots to perform automated manufacturing tasks. This includes installing the robot arm, peripherals, and other equipment into a unified automation system. Although it may incur initial costs, a robot integrator plans and installs your robotic system thereby reducing risk, optimizing processes, and meeting industry safety standards.
