Now an innovative CoLab has opened in Slovakia, too

The automation hurdles continue to fall: On June 20, 2023, SCHUNK opened the next CoLab at its Slovakian subsidiary in Nitra. This is already the tenth CoLab worldwide via which SCHUNK is providing easy access to the world of robotics.

At this new Slovakian Robot Application Center, six cobots and three industrial robots are available for hands-on customer service. The fully equipped, multifunctional space on the first floor of the Slovakian SCHUNK subsidiary covers an area of 350 square meters.

SCHUNK – CoLab opening Slovakia Henceforth, the SCHUNK CoLab will be available to industry professionals as well as high school and university students wanting to learn about automation and robotics and implement these in real life.

Optimal preparation and validation of the automation task

In the CoLabs, a team of application engineers support SCHUNK customers in testing specific automation tasks. During the cooperation, the most suitable combination of handling, clamping technology and machining components is selected and optimal parameters are validated in a practical test. This allows the customer to prepare their planned automation task optimally and implement it without any risks. Validation in the CoLab accelerates commissioning and minimizes the investment risk for customers. František Jantoška, General Manager of Intec Slovakia, was also enthusiastic about this. At the opening ceremony for the SCHUNK CoLab, he emphasized the uniqueness of this concept. "This place is intended for anyone wanting to use automation to increase their process efficiency and improve workplace safety while reducing physical stress." There are also valuable points of contact here for the up-and-coming talents of tomorrow. "We are opening this place not only to industry professionals, but also to high school and college students who want to learn the field of automation, robotics and material processing. Therefore, we are already working on including our CoLab in the study programs of Slovak schools and universities. Students will have the opportunity to write their theses here."

Access for the future generation of employees to the working world of the future

In this way, the future generation of employees also benefits from the training at CoLab and can prepare themselves for the automated working world of tomorrow in a way that is close to practice. In live demonstrations, test documentations, feasibility studies, customer training sessions as well as providing extensive robotics peripherals including hardware setup by the application experts, SCHUNK places itself at the disposal of its customers as a partner, supporting them practically in all automation steps.

The Robot Application Center in Nitra has commenced operations - with further ideas for the future: The Slovakian experts want to build on the pioneering spirit of the SCHUNK company and plan to equip the CoLab with a five-axis machining center and a depaneling machine so as to be able to cover all market requirements in the Central European region.
