We created our Q-Span Workstation Kits as part of the UR+ ecosystem. A recent article from the Association for Advancing Automation explains the incredible value of that plug-and-produce ecosystem for our users.  Simply put, UR+ Application Kits make it easy to get started, and easily adapt to a manufacturer’s changing needs.

The Q-Span Workstation Kit is the first application kit for automated gaging, introducing the power of collaborative robots to quality departments for QC in high-mix, small-batch manufacturing.
