Automatica 2025: Comau unveils Innovative Cobot, AMR & Welding Gun Portfolio

At Automatica 2025, Comau debuts a powerful trio collaborative cobots, smart AMRs, and a high-precision welding gun reshaping industrial automation for high-mix, flexible production.

At Automatica 2025, Comau didn’t just show up it made a statement. Its boldest move yet in industrial automation came alive with a new cobots family built to work side-by-side with people. Smooth. Precise. Ready out of the box. Just steps away, a fleet of AMRs rolled out, handling logistics on the floor with live navigation and load-based smarts. And then, stealing part of the spotlight, a refined welding gun built for pulse-wave control and safety designed for agile, high-mix manufacturing. Together, it’s not just smarter machines. Its smart automation reimagined for manufacturers and industrial leaders who know today’s production footprints demand more. Especially when mixed cobot‑AMR workflows are the new standard.

These new cobot units? They bring force control and built-in vision, allowing them to work close with people no cages, no barriers. While industrial leaders focus on speed, Comau is shaping mixed cobot‑AMR workflows that adapt across production footprints. The deeper play is about flexibility. For manufacturers, that means tools like the adaptive welding gun and fleet-ready AMRs aren’t standalone tech they're part of a bigger shift. That means real, shoulder-to-shoulder work with skilled humans, not just parallel tasks. Meanwhile, the AMRs move independently but sync up with cobots for hands-free material exchanges. And that welding gun? It’s no longer just a machine it collects quality data and pushes it straight into smart automation systems, live, it’s about full-spectrum automation that supports mixed cobot‑AMR workflows, scales across production footprints, and delivers what the market really needs now: resilience built in.

For industrial leaders, Comau’s play goes straight to ROI. Faster line swaps. Smaller batch runs. Lower capital costs thanks to shared robot assets. In both automotive and aerospace, early adopters are testing mixed cobot‑AMR workflows and seeing real returns 30 to 40 percent better throughput while still hitting safety benchmarks. As manufacturers lean into high-mix, high-variability demands, Comau’s flexible approach to smart automation is hitting the mark. But scale is the real hurdle. Can this system stretch across global production footprints? Keep an eye on systems integrator deals, cross-plant trials, and those all-important interoperability wins. If Comau builds the ecosystem it’s hinting at, 2025 could mark a turning point for industrial automation.
