Baxter-1

With its inherent safety design, intuitive user interface, groundbreaking price and innovative train by demonstration approach to programming, Baxter® fundamentally changed the way automation could be accessed and utilized in production environments. As the world’s first two-arm collaborative robot in 2012, Baxter revolutionized the manufacturing world and literally became the face of the collaborative robotics category. And for good reason. Today, leading companies of all sizes, industries and specialties rely on Baxter to handle their repetitive production tasks, gaining a significant competitive advantage for their business. Redefining Automation Baxter is a proven solution for a wide range of tasks – from packing and kitting to line loading and material handling. If you walk the floor of your facility and see lightweight parts being handled near people, you’ve likely just found a great job for Baxter. This game-changing robot is ready to get to work for your company – doing the monotonous tasks that free up your skilled human labor to be exactly that. Baxter works safely and interactively with co-workers without caging, and can be manually trained by non-engineers in minutes to do meaningful tasks. As the flagship product in our family of smart, collaborative robots, Baxter adapts to real-world variability, is agile enough to change applications quickly, and performs tasks in similar ways to people. It’s an innovative option for many of the 90% of manufacturing tasks which can’t be cost-effectively automated with conventional robots. PRODUCT DATASHEET Collaborative Roboti

Simple, Flexible, Dual Arm Automation Unlike conventional robots which require costly caging, specialized programming and extensive integration to execute a single task, Baxter ® can be quickly and easily trained and deployed as often as needed. As a result, it’s an ideal fit for the lower volume, higher mix environments which define the vast majority of manufacturing tasks today. Baxter features Rethink’s unique compliant motion control which allows it to “feel” its way into fixtures or machines, even when part position changes. This enables Baxter to work effectively in semi-structured environments,...
