Common automated equipment

The many types of automated equipment include industrial robots, assembly systems, test equipment, vision systems, and safety equipment such as light curtains.

Commonly used in automotive, printed circuit board (PCB), and appliance industries that rely heavily on factory machinery, automated equipments make production more efficient and reliable. Computer-controlled automated equipment can run continuously without error. A robotic system, for example, can be programmed to run the same complex routines continuously with little assistance from humans.
