Based in North Versailles, Pennsylvania, Cobot Systems develops standardized collaborative-robot systems that automate job-shop work such as CNC machine tending and laser welding. Founded to make automation practical for high-mix, low-volume shops, the company builds compact, portable systems that are easy to program and move between machines without requiring an expensive integrator for every change. Its approach is to have cobots handle repetitive tasks while machinists and welders apply their skills to higher-value work.
