Welcome to the T&D Specialties blog! Today, on March 24, 2025, we’re excited to share how Cobots improve our precision machining. At T&D Specialties, we’ve been innovating since 1996, so let’s explore how these collaborative machines help us serve industries like aerospace, medical & commercial.

What Are Cobots?

Cobots (or Collaborative Robot Arms) are machines designed to work safely alongside humans. With multiple axes of movement, they provide flexibility for precise tasks. At T&D Specialties, we use Cobots to handle repetitive jobs, freeing our team to tackle more complex challenges.

How We Use Cobots

We integrate Cobots into our workflow to enhance efficiency. For example:

Additionally, we pair Cobots with indexers to speed up small, intricate tasks, much like our CNC milling setups.

Trends in Cobot Technology

The Cobot market is growing quickly. A report predicts it will reach $84.66 billion by 2031, driven by automation needs. Another study forecasts growth to $543.14 billion by 2034, fueled by advancements in collaborative technology. These trends inspire us to stay at the forefront of precision machining. Informative report here.

Our Success with Cobots

For instance, we recently used a Cobot to streamline medical part machining, cutting production time by 30% while meeting strict tolerances. This shows how Cobots help us deliver high-quality results.

Let’s Work Together!
