Modular Cobot Workstations

A cobot (collaborative robot) is designed to work safely alongside humans in shared workspaces, featuring force-limiting and safety-zone technology per ISO/TS 15066. Traditional industrial robots operate in caged, isolated cells at higher speeds and payloads. Cobots are ideal for tasks requiring human-robot collaboration, such as precision assembly, inspection, and machine tending.

The Collaborative Robotics Bench Platform is designed primarily for the Universal Robots product line, including UR3e, UR5e, UR10e, UR16e, UR20, and UR30 models. The platform follows UR-spec mounting patterns and is on the UR+ certification pathway, ensuring validated compatibility across the full UR ecosystem.

The platform uses a hybrid design with a welded steel base specifically chosen for rigidity and vibration dampening. This directly solves a common cobot retrofit problem where standard benches introduce vibration that disrupts precision tasks and causes reach envelope failures, compromising both accuracy and safety in automated workflows.

Yes. Every Collaborative Robotics Bench Platform is configurable through Workplace Modular Systems' Robotics preset configurator or via direct RFQ. Custom engineering and design consultation is available, with a 48-hour technical review turnaround. The modular aluminum extrusion connection points allow reconfiguration as your automation needs evolve.

The platform is designed to comply with ISO/TS 15066 for collaborative robot safety and OSHA 1910.217 for machinery and machine guarding. Correct reach envelope geometry and integrated safety zone clearances are built into the design, ensuring your cobot deployment meets regulatory and operational safety requirements from day one.

Standard custom orders are delivered in approximately 30–45 days from Workplace Modular Systems' Londonderry, NH facility. Custom configurations carry a lead time of 4–6 weeks. A mandatory 48-hour technical review turnaround is required before order finalization to ensure all engineering and compliance specifications are met.
