Robots deployed in the Aerospace, Automotive and Nuclear sectors are being used in increasingly challenging applications that expose their weaknesses rather than leveraging their strengths.

The use of robots is often based on several assumptions concerning accuracy, stiffness and in-process adaptability. However:

• High repeatability ≠ High accuracy
• High Payload ≠ High Stiffness
• High Flexibility ≠ In-process Adaptability

Introducing a robot process without recognising these limitations can result in a sub-optimal application and a loss of productivity, ultimately increasing costs.

This whitepaper delves into these misconceptions further and provides 3 top ways robots accuracy can be improved.
