1. Research and Development: The Franka Emika Panda is widely used in R&D applications, particularly in fields such as robotics and artificial intelligence. Its high precision (0.1 mm repeatability) and torque sensors make it ideal for experimenting with manipulation tasks, human-robot interaction models, and control algorithms.
  2. Delicate Assembly Tasks: This robot excels in assembling small, delicate components, such as electronics or medical devices. Its force-sensitive joints ensure precise part placement without damaging sensitive materials, making it a go-to choice for micro-assembly or prototyping applications.
  3. Human-Robot Collaboration: The Panda is optimized for collaborative environments, such as healthcare or lab automation, where robots and humans work side by side. Its compliance control and safety features allow for tasks like sample handling or tool-sharing in confined spaces, ensuring productivity and safety.

CNC machine tending with Panda cobot

Solution

The Franka Emika Panda performs all sequential operations that an operator would do. It opens the door of the CNC machine, picks the raw material, inserts it into the machine, closes the door and starts the machine by pushing the button. The solution is provided by the company Vision Lasertechnik.

Outcome

This solution provides a stable production process with a very predictable daily output. The production is more balanced and all bottlenecks in the process are removed.
