Productive Robotics, Inc. recently introduced its full line of next-generation teachable collaborative robots (cobots). "Productive Robotics added an enhanced human sense of vision to its teach-and-learn platform, providing customers with a unique offering not currently available in the market," said a company spokesperson.
"The Productive Robotics design and engineering team started building robots for movie special effects in the 1980s," said Zac Bogart, President and CEO of Productive Robotics. "We have combined that level of expertise with the latest technology to offer customers the simplest, most flexible, innovative and cost-effective lineup of next-generation collaborative robots in the market."
"Building on the success of its OB7 cobot, Productive Robotics is introducing OB7-Max 8 and OB7-Max 12 to round out its full line of cobots," said the spokesperson. "Equipped with the same 'no programming,' simple to teach intelligence and human arm flexibility as OB7, OB7-Max 8 and OB7-Max 12 are designed to handle larger payloads with long reach, at 8 kg and 1,700 mm and 12 kg and 1,300 mm, respectively."
Each OB7 model can now be equipped with the human-like sense of vision, providing simpler, faster and more efficient robot training and operation. With OB Vision, OB7 automatically learns to recognize and pick up objects with a single button push. By the end of this year, OB7 will also be equipped with an improved sense of touch. OB Vision and any additional senses are based on Productive Robotics' innovative "no programming," simple to teach platform.
Productive Robotics broke into the collaborative robot market in 2017 with OB7 - the smart 7-axis cobot. Like a human arm, seven joints give OB7 the flexibility and dexterity to reach around objects or obstacles where others cannot. Unlike a human arm, each of OB7's joints can rotate 360° in both directions, allowing the cobot to work in more confined work spaces and areas that a 6-axis robot cannot reach.
