Robot and cobot stations provide an efficient solution for production processes where precision, stability and continuity are essential.
A robot or cobot station is an integrated automation cell in which industrial robots or collaborative robots perform specific production tasks.
These systems are typically used when a process:
By combining robotics with mechanical engineering, sensors and control systems, a controlled production process is created where quality, speed and safety come together.
At FiXar, we always start from the production process. We first analyse the application and determine where robotics delivers real added value.
We then develop a concept and design the robot or cobot station with the right components, tooling and safety solutions.
The process typically includes:
After installation, we ensure a smooth start-up and provide ongoing support so the system operates reliably and consistently.
FiXar works in a pragmatic and transparent way, from initial analysis to final delivery.
Throughout the project, the client remains actively involved in key design and validation steps. This results in an automation solution that is not only technically sound, but also fully aligned with the production environment.
The result is a reliable robot or cobot station that:
After delivery, we support start-up and provide clear documentation and training for operators and maintenance teams.
Cost-effectiveness depends on volume, repeatability and quality requirements. In processes with high repetition, ergonomic load or quality-critical operations, robotics typically delivers clear productivity and quality gains.
Yes. Robot cells are typically modular, allowing additional tooling, vision systems, extra robots or process steps to be added over time.
Robot stations include clear diagnostics via the HMI. If needed, FiXar provides support through remote assistance or on-site intervention to minimise downtime.
Robot cells are designed for low maintenance. Preventive maintenance typically includes tooling inspection, calibration checks and periodic software updates.
Yes. Robot stations can be fully integrated into existing PLC architectures, safety chains and production systems. They can also be connected to MES systems for traceability and data logging.
For industrial robots, safety is ensured through physical guarding, light curtains and safety PLCs in line with PL/SIL principles. For cobots, safety is achieved through force and speed monitoring, combined with risk assessments according to standards such as ISO 10218 and ISO 13849.
Yes. Through smart programming, vision integration or automatic tool changers, a single robot cell can support multiple product variants without complex changeovers.
We analyse the full process, including payload, reach, accuracy, cycle time, environmental conditions and system integration. Based on this, we select the most appropriate robot platform and tooling.
FiXar has experience with various robot platforms, including KUKA, ABB, Fanuc, Techman cobots and Universal Robots (UR). The selection depends on payload, accuracy, cycle time and integration requirements.
An industrial robot typically operates in a safeguarded cell with high speed and payload. A cobot (collaborative robot) is designed to safely interact with operators through force and speed limitations. The choice depends on cycle time, safety requirements and the application.
Yes. FiXar remains involved after delivery through start-up support, optimisation, technical assistance and maintenance advice. This ensures that the industrial automation system continues to perform reliably throughout its lifecycle.
Yes. FiXar integrates vision and measurement systems when required for process control, quality verification or positioning. These systems are connected to the automation and PLC architecture for fully automated inspection and control.
Traceability and data logging are integrated through data exchange with existing systems, such as MES platforms. This allows production data, process parameters and quality information to be automatically recorded and monitored.
Yes. We design systems with variant production in mind. Through smart programming, modular tooling or vision integration, automation stations can handle multiple product variants without complex changeovers.
Yes. Safety is integrated from the design phase in accordance with applicable standards. Depending on the application, we use safety PLCs, light curtains, physical guarding and risk assessments based on PL/SIL principles.
Yes. FiXar integrates industrial automation systems into both new installations and existing production lines. We align with existing PLC architectures and, where required, connect to MES systems for data logging, traceability and production monitoring.
FiXar primarily works with Siemens TIA Portal for PLC-based industrial automation. This platform enables the development of reliable, maintainable automation software and smooth integration into existing production environments.
FiXar delivers integrated industrial automation systems, from analysis and concept engineering to build, validation and post-delivery support. We combine mechanics, automation and software into stable systems that perform reliably in serial production environments.
FiXar primarily works with Siemens TIA Portal for PLC automation, depending on the project requirements.
Absolutely. FiXar is open to other platforms when required. We always select the technology that best matches your process, payload and cycle time.
FiXar has experience with a wide range of industrial robots and cobots, including KUKA, ABB, Fanuc, Techman cobots and Universal Robots (UR). Depending on the application, we select the platform that best fits the required accuracy, payload and cycle time.
