The perfectly programmed grid is breaking down. Flexible automation is stepping up 🦾

One message was hard to ignore walking the floor at Modex: Real operations are messy and constantly changing, and companies are turning to AI-enabled automation that can react on the fly.

What does real‑world robotic learning look like? 🧐

Using our dual‑arm setup, our partner Yango Tech Robotics is collecting bimanual teleoperation data for towel folding.

ROI in 90 days

@centerlinebrackets expected their @vectis_automation Cobot Welding Tool to pay for itself within a year.

It took just three months 🌪️

Since then, it’s been running nonstop, producing consistent results day after day.

🦾 +100,000 robots sold, +315,000 UR Academy users, +230 case studies…

Over the past 20 years, our collaborative robots have helped create a world where people work with robots, not like robots.

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this automation journey!

One that has only just begun.

🌪️ Reducing weld time by 87%

By automating welding, Centerline Brackets cut weld time from 8 minutes to just 1, without sacrificing precision or quality.

Welding parts for $100 million yachts 💥

@deangelomarineexhaust.inc relies on its robot welder from @hirebotics to perform bulletproof welds.

"A leak could literally put the crew in danger. You could sink the ship. We have found no leaks on the welds by the cobot yet."

💥 Coordinated motion will revolutionize the welding game

Listen to what Matt Hendey, CEO at @thgautomation, has to say about the possibilities of coordinated motion.

Spoiler alert: coordinated motion is here to stay.

Perfect welds. On repeat 🔁

You can’t build trust on inconsistent results. By automating welding, Centerline Brackets removed “almost identical” from their vocabulary and replaced it with “flawless and consistent”, delivering high-quality results every time.

Quality you can count on.

Beautiful welding by @lorch_welding

(watch till the end for the result 👀)

They welded a stainless steel container using an optimized MAG process instead of TIG.

It took half the time and gave them a flawless weld with almost no distortion or rework.

💥 1 million welds, 0 down time

@centerlinebrackets achieved a full ROI in less than three months after they added a @vectis_automation Cobot Welding Tool that sped up production, eased labor shortages, and delivered consistent weld quality.

Employees nicknamed the cobot “Teddy,” and it has run nonstop for over two years, completing more than a million welds without a single failure.

A workstation like this is no problem when you have a reach of 1750 mm.

From repetition to precision 🦾

Carl Stahl GmbH is specialized in creating individual and tailored automation solutions.

This solution in particular is reducing monotonous and noisy tasks for employees, improving ergonomics. It’s increasing productivity with up to 70%. And it’s improving quality thanks to more consistency.

Here’s what’s happening in the video:

→ UR5e picks plaque from magazine.
→ Inserts and aligns plaque in machine.
→ Activates magnet to secure plaque.
→ Stamping starts automatically.
→ Deactivates magnet after stamping.
→ Places finished plaque in container.

Streamlined, precise, and reliable. Every cycle, every time.
