Automated process with cobot

The main task of the IA 500 experimental plant is to convert a manual process – in this case a classic tensile test – into a fully automated process. The goal is a fully automated tensile test without human intervention. Automation is developed step by step and underpinned with practical tasks, instructions and information.
