ART ![robot symphony](https://franka.de/hubfs/robot%20symphony.png) ## DISCOVER THE ART MADE WITH FRANKA Franka robots have found their way into concert halls, museums, galleries, and stages around the world — not as machines, but as creative collaborators. Here is a growing collection of art projects that show a different side of what our robots can do. [Explore](https://franka.de/art?hsLang=en) ## INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS REQUIRE DEXTERITY AND SENSITIVE FORCE FEEDBACK Torque sensors in all joints of the robot arm allow for sensitive manipulation and exploration, which require application of fine-tuned forces and the ability to adapt to work surfaces. Within its workspace, it can reach and operate far-off (855 mm) as well as very close to its own base, and the geometry of the 7 axes allows for complex poses to reach difficult spaces, allowing execution of processes even in confined environments. 1. ![Machine loading Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH](https://franka.de/hubfs/Rheinhausen.af88c67.png) At Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH, the machine loading application was set up and successfully implemented within only 3 hours. 2. ![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aJkrre6udHE/hqdefault.jpg) The complete automation of the feeding and unloading process of a press brake. 3. ![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f5Il5x3lY1c/hqdefault.jpg) The Vision ToolRoom – a mobile platform inclusive of Franka robot – is the ideal collaborative colleague in CNC machining. 4. ![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-Rfo5LBbgNo/hqdefault.jpg) Process data such as successful execution and applied forces can be measured and logged: the added value for quality control. 5. ![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4gGQGJ6HrhA/hqdefault.jpg) Operating the touch screen to unlock the battery, pushing it out and in, a test repeated again and again. 6. ![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yC-6T6lMgyI/hqdefault.jpg) End-of-line testing of fragile elements like touchscreens becomes possible thanks to the robot's sensitive manipulation. 7. ![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JaSKPUwM3Qc/hqdefault.jpg) An assembly station enables precise screwing of the dowel with simultaneous torque control. 8. ![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JQhHJsLXuxk/hqdefault.jpg) A machine is loaded with different components – without any protective fence. 9. ![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HQt7XZB-rts/hqdefault.jpg) Thanks to force sensitiveness, the board is inserted via a wiggling movement, and applied forces are recorded. 10. ![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Fy8dnS45YyA/hqdefault.jpg) N.I.S.T.
