In today’s fast-pacing world, many organizations and factories are attempting to utilize automation systems and robots to increase efficiency and flexibility in manufacturing. Specially, Collaborative robot (Cobot) which Cerathai has recognized such trend and imported Collaborative robot brand Universal Robot from Denmark and accessories for robots including OnRobot Soft Gripper from Denmark
COBOT from UNIVERSAL ROBOTS UR16e
Suitable for welding, material removal, handling with the uniqueness features :

1. Rotation radius of 900 MM can lift up to 16 kg. Base size Ø 190 MM. Product weight 33.1 KG.
2. Easy to install. Fast. Inexperienced users can learn the program immediately.
3. Highly flexible automation. Our robots are lightweight, save space. Easy to move can work in all areas, High mobility. Can use electricity at home
4. High security. Dangerous and boring work. Use cobot. Safety sensor system stops working, approves when a problem occurs.
Soft Gripper: Power up production

- Explore new automation possibilities with certified food-grade soft gripper
- Explore new possibilities for food and beverage automation with certified food-grade soft gripper
- Easily handle a wide array of irregular shapes and delicate objects with flexible silicon-molded gripper
- Safely handle fragile and delicate objects for higher production quality and reduced waste
- No external air supply means no dust, no noise, no complexity, and no additional costs
- That facilitate the automatic systems to minimize complications, decrease costs, and increase safety
Cerathai and OnRobot always realize that collaboration with robots as colleagues is going to support automation systems to minimize complications, reduce production cost and increase security systems. Moreover, we can select Plug & Produce robot end effectors by using OnRobut equipment and software solution designed for robots from various manufacturers

Cerathai is pleased to introduce robot end effectors for gripping fragile materials with variable shapes, e.g. fruit, sweets, food. Soft Gripper from OnRobot is designed to use with Cobot, which we can use the instruction program to adjust the gripper according to the product shape up to 118 mm. or 1.1 kg.”
Mr. Akarin concluded that “This Soft Gripper will enable Cerathai to support customers who need to gripping and moving things with variable shapes in every industry and customers who need to apply Low Cost Automation in searching products and services or asking for advice as our motto WE SUPPORT YOU”
