DESTACO has announced the availability of cobot tooling solutions that are designed to simplify tool selection and eliminate integration design work for applications employing small payload robots or cobots in their operations. The wide variety of tooling solutions is designed for gripping, palletizing, machine tending, tool changing, and tool extension applications up to 10 kg payloads.

The fast growth in the cobot market is driven by several factors, including increases in inflation rates, labor costs, labor shortages, and excessive workforce turnover.  The low startup costs for new entrants into the automation industry and a relatively compact return on investment (ROI) period for a cobot system, which can be as few as 8 to 12 months make DESTACO tooling solutions attractive to users.
