What is Cobot Taping?
Cobot taping refers to the automation of tape application tasks using collaborative robots. Taping cobots perform clean, repeatable, very-high-bond (VHB) tape placement or masking with minimal supervision, using FANUC’s Variable Payload Compensation (VPC) software to anticipate forces encountered in the application. FANUC’s CRX line handles light-to-medium payloads and can be paired with a variety of tape dispensers and end-of-arm tooling for enhanced flexibility. Offering simple drag-and-drop programming and easy hand guidance, FANUC’s CRX cobots are designed to work alongside human workers.
