Collaborative
safety

OB7 safely senses collisions at every joint, and stops. Safely stop OB7 with your hand. To restart when an operation is paused, tap OB7 on one of its joints. When running at safe collaborative speeds, there is no guarding is required. To operate at high speeds, an optional Laser Safety Scanner is available. OB7 is ISO 10218-1 safety compliant.

Case Studies

Action Plastics

7 axis maneuverability allows automation of several different processes (high mix/low-to-mid volume production) while freeing up operators to focus on other tasks.

Swiss Productions

Two OB7 cobots tend two HAAS milling machines, gaining an extra 32 hours per week of machine running time on top of the normal 40 hours, maximizing spindle utilization and increasing productivity.

True Precision Machining

OB7 is doubling EDM machine output and meeting deadlines early for their customers in medical, aerospace and communications industries.

Cal-Draulics
