Austria's Melecs EWS automates tray- and case-packing of circuit boards with a UR5 cobot
Two million small boards a year must be placed into trays, and the trays into boxes.
A UR5 with a custom gripper places three boards at a time into 54-board trays, then boxes and closes them, across three shifts.
Productivity +25%, payback in 18 months.
The deployed unit is the previous-generation UR5 (CB-Series); the listing is its current successor, the UR7e.
