Dual-Arm Collaborative Robots: Symmetry and power in automation

The AUCTECH dual-arm collaborative robot systems (X Dual-Arm Series) represent the ideal solution for replicating human dexterity in industrial processes. By integrating two robotic arms onto a single central torso, this equipment offers 14 degrees of freedom, enabling the bimanual coordination required for complex assembly, testing, and packaging tasks.

Unlike single-arm solutions, the dual configuration allows for the simultaneous handling of components and tools, reducing cycle times and optimizing workstation space without the need for bulky safety barriers.

Technical description: Advanced coordination and control

AUCTECH Dual-Arm robots are engineered to function as a unified entity, providing superior software and hardware integration:

• Redundant dexterity: Each arm operates with 7 axes of motion, allowing for obstacle avoidance and access to difficult angles.

• Unified control system: Both arms are managed by a single intelligent controller, ensuring perfect synchronization (±0.02 mm repeatability).

• Compact and integrated design: The footprint is similar to that of a human operator, facilitating installation in existing production lines (Brownfield).

• Computer vision (Optional): Supports the integration of AI modules for real-time object recognition, sorting, and qualitative inspection.

Why choose dual-arm collaborative robots?

• Human dexterity replication: Ideal for processes that require "holding" a part with one arm and "processing" it with the other (e.g., screwdriving, soldering).

• Doubled productivity in the same space: Executes two independent tasks or one complex coordinated task, occupying the space of a single workstation.

• ISO-Certified safety: Force/torque sensors integrated into all joints ensure an instantaneous stop upon contact with human personnel.

• Configuration flexibility: Arms can be configured with different payloads (e.g., 3kg, 5kg, or 10kg) to adapt to specific production needs.

FAQ: Dual-Arm Collaborative Robots 

What is the main advantage of a dual-arm collaborative robot?

The primary advantage is the capacity for bimanual coordination. A dual-arm robot can secure a part with one arm while the other performs a precision operation (assembly, welding, cleaning), eliminating the need for costly and complex jigs and fixtures.

How are the two arms programmed to avoid colliding with each other?

The AUCTECH system uses an internal collision avoidance algorithm. The control software calculates the trajectories of both arms in real-time, ensuring that their workspaces do not intersect in a way that would cause an impact.

Can the two arms function independently?

Yes. Although controlled by the same central unit, the arms can be programmed to execute completely different and asynchronous tasks, functioning essentially as two separate robots that are perfectly synchronized at the data level.

Is it difficult to install a Dual-Arm robot?

No. Thanks to the "All-in-One" design and optimized weight, AUCTECH dual-arm collaborative robots can be quickly mounted on standard workbenches and commissioned within a few hours via the intuitive graphical interface.
