Industrial robots have proven to be a key technology in various areas along the production chain due to their flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Current developments in production demonstrate that robotic systems can increasingly replace established technologies in many manufacturing, assembly, and logistics processes. It is no coincidence that, alongside large companies such as automobile manufacturers, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have also begun to incorporate industrial robots into their production processes. This book serves as a manual for SMEs, offering tips and tricks on the use of robots. It covers the essential fundamentals of robotics and explains methods for assessing whether a product or process can be automated through the use of robots. Both technical features and safety-related aspects are taken into consideration.
