We design and deliver cobot solutions tailored for assembly applications across a wide range of industries. Our cobot solutions take on repetitive, precise, and time consuming assembly tasks such as screwdriving, part fitting, fastening, inserting and handling components, improving reliability and reducing manual fatigue on your production line. Whether it's high volume assembly or small batch production, our systems are designed to be flexible and easy to reconfigure.
We work closely with clients to integrate cobots into existing workstations, ensuring they complement human operators rather than replace them. We offer vision guided positioning, force controlled fitting, and quality inspections to ensure consistent results. From electronics and consumer products to automotive components and industrial assemblies, Rise Automation provides turnkey systems that improve accuracy, reduce rework, and keep your processes optimal. Each solution is built around your product, your process, and your pace of production.

FAQs
What is component assembly automation? Component assembly automation uses robots, especially cobots, to join parts into finished products or sub‑assemblies with speed, precision, and repeatability.
Why use cobots for assembly tasks? Cobots work safely alongside people, are easy to program, adapt to changing products, and deliver consistent quality — all with a smaller footprint than traditional automation.
What types of assembly tasks can cobots perform? Cobots can handle screwdriving, pick & place, fastening, press fitting, adhesive dispensing, gasket placement, vision‑guided alignment and more.
How do cobots improve screwdriving operations? They apply accurate, programmable torque and depth control across variants, eliminating manual inconsistency and reducing rework.
Can cobots handle delicate components? Yes — with force control and compliant end‑effectors, cobots can insert fragile parts without damage.
What is vision‑guided assembly? Vision‑guided assembly uses cameras and sensors to locate parts and guide the cobot in real time for accurate positioning and placement.
How do cobots manage variability across product variants? Using vision systems and adaptable tooling, cobots can adjust positioning and motion dynamically without extensive reprogramming.
Are cobots suitable for high‑volume production? Absolutely — cobot systems scale to high volumes while maintaining precision and reducing fatigue‑related errors common in manual assembly.
What is force control, and why does it matter? Force control lets a cobot sense and react to applied force, crucial for tasks like press fitting without damaging components.
How easy is it to retool a cobot for a new product? Very easy — interchangeable end‑effectors and intuitive programming allow for fast changeovers between models.
What safety features do cobots have for assembly cells? Cobots include built‑in force limits, safety sensors, and soft stop capabilities to protect operators and equipment.
Do cobots require specialist programming skills? Not necessarily — many systems use guided teaching, drag‑and‑drop interfaces, or teach pendants designed for non‑programmers.
Can cobots assist in packing and tray loading? Yes — with appropriate end‑of‑arm tooling, cobots reliably load assemblies into trays or packaging at consistent speed.
How do you choose the right cobot for assembly? Consider payload, reach, cycle speed, precision requirements and integration with tooling and vision systems.
Can cobots be integrated with existing assembly lines? Yes — cobots are designed for flexible integration with conveyors, sensors, PLCs and MES systems.
What maintenance is required for cobots? Cobots generally require minimal maintenance — periodic lubrication, software updates, and routine safety checks suffice.
How does Rise Automation support cobot assembly projects? Rise Automation offers consultation, custom tooling design, system integration, programming, deployment support and ongoing optimisation to ensure your assembly automation succeeds.
Can cobots assemble multi-part subassemblies in one operation? Yes — cobots can be programmed to sequentially handle, orient, and join multiple components into a single unit within one automated cycle, reducing station count and handling time.
