Robotics and automation can significantly boost productivity for manufacturing companies, supporting with dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks. One area of growing interest are “cobots” which aim to automate processes with human-robot collaboration in mind. Despite the attention around cobots, many SME’s find it difficult to identify automation and integrate this into their processes, holding concerns over associated risks of adoption. Within ‘A Guide to Human-Robot Collaboration in Manufacturing’ we highlight the benefits of human-robot collaboration whilst addressing common misconceptions and demystifying some of the language used. Information is provided on the process of implementing automation and human-robot collaboration, increasing understanding, and allowing more informed decisions to be made on a transition to a human-robot collaborative working environment.

The MTC demonstrated the ability to successfully cut ultra-thin ceramic tiles with a laser, yielding high-quality cuts free of microcracks. The ceramic substrates for active metal brazing (AMB) that may be made with these cutting techniques are ideal for high voltage and current circuit boards, which are commonly seen in power electronics assemblies. Power electronic substrates are essential structures for placing semiconductors and interconnects on in order to create electronic circuits with long-term performance through robustness and effective thermal shock resilience. This was the challenge we faced in this study due to the drive for electrification in the automotive sector.
