NEXT GENERATION ROBOTICS AUTOMATION FOR EVERYONE At Franka Emika we use our deep-tech competence to create novel robotics platform technologies with superior performance and universal accessibility, revolutionizing industrial automation. Our founders had a vision to make robotics no longer exclusive to the few but available on a large scale and accessible to everyone. Key to this endeavor required equipping robots with human-like force sensitivity in combination with intuitive usage. Our passionate team has decades of collective experience innovating world-leading robotics technologies, and since 2017 we have delivered thousands Franka Emika Robots to the global market. In that time, our AI-enabled robot quickly became the reference robotics platform for research, establishing itself in most renowned Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence institutes and enterprises, as well as in health care and education. During this establishing period, a broad spectrum of industry users also gained access to the same empowering technology. These industrial users – ranging from highly-skilled robotics experts to process-skilled factory workers, from small businesses to global enterprises – realized the benefits of Franka Emika’s novel easy-to-use, flexible, cost-efficient and scalable approach. With such strong background we proudly launch Franka Production 3, the sensitive and industrially certified robot system for everyone. Designed, developed and manufactured in Germany using mechanical and engineering competence combined with innovative software and platform expertise, the Franka Production 3 is ready to ignite productivity for anyone and everyone who needs industrial robotics automation across the globe.

EASILY TURN YOUR PROCESS EXPERTISE INTO ROBOTICS AUTOMATION Franka Emika´s technology and industry: a perfect match! While most-known competitors still offer positioning machines designed for classical industrial markets, Franka Emika addresses the modern challenges of industry with a new generation, purposely best-fit machine: Franka Production 3. Introducing force sensitive and flexible automation into manufacturing processes Manufacturing electronics products involves manipulation of core components such as circuit boards, or end-of-line testing of fragile elements like touch- screens. These are so delicate and likely to break that their handling can hardly be automated by classic pure positioning robots. Crucially, efficient and scalable automation of such tasks further requires the flexibility of quickly adapting a given program to any variant workpiece, which is a recurrent case in the electro- nics market. There, a family of products comes into slightly different size versions, or versions of a certain product evolve in matter of months. With our App Workflow-based programming paradigm, not only do workers not require any prior-specific knowledge about programming to commission and operate the robot, but the modularity introduced by the Apps in an App Work- flow, and the possibility to easily and quickly change context-relevant parameters enable them to adapt and re-use tasks, over and over. This means very low entry barriers and incredibly fast time to production whether for a first use or a re-use of the robot. Sensing and interpreting contact forces, the added value Every millimeter of uncertainty costs money, with previous-generations robots getting to frequent stalls, damaging the workpiece, or even not capable of auto- mating a great number of tasks. Inspired by human capabilities and enabled by Think it, Make it an advanced sense of touch, our control algorithms can deal with tolerances dedicated to the new generation and misalignments just like a human can. By combining tactile sensing and of industry players application of forces, the robot “navigates” the variations in the worksurface: wiggling gently and precisely to identify the edges of a compartment first, and then delicately pushing in the component, adjusting the movement based on the contact feedback it receives. The ability to detect and interpret contacts through human-like dexterity is key. Without this kind of sensitivity to contacts, even simple tasks like insertion and palletizing still involve huge and inefficient automation investments, or even fully rely on manual labor!

FRANKA PRODUCTION 3 The industrial robotic platform. In pursuit of high-performance and accessibility, and in light of the requirements of most modern and rapidly changing production environments, we have combined human-centered design with Payload trustworthy German engineering and deep software competence, 3 kg giving rise to a masterpiece of technology and user experience. • Agile thanks to its 7 axes, with pose repeatability of +/- 0.1mm and negligible path deviation even at high velocities. • 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. • Ultra-sensitive to contact forces thanks to link-side torque sensors in all 7 axes. Degrees of freedom • Fast reaction to contacts and fine tuning of forces thanks to 1kHz 7 control. • The Arm (18 kg) and the Control (7 kg) can be installed in less than 5 minutes. • The system can be powered up by general-purpose power outlets. • Intuitive App Workflow-based programming. From our highly tuned, high volume series production in Bavaria, Franka Production 3 reaches users worldwide, serving industry Torque sensors sectors with cost-efficient applications that can be deployed within in all axes minutes.

DESIGNED TO BE INTUITIVELY EASY Straightforward setup and operation Convenient to lift and transport, Franka Production 3 has Intuitive usage straightforward one-box delivery concept. The Arm and the Control can be installed in less than 5 minutes. The system and interaction can be powered up by general-purpose power outlets, and it is plug-and-use: only one cable is needed to connect the Arm and its 19’’ Control. No dedicated operator device is required: any computer, laptop or tablet can be connected to the robot and run the user friendly web-based interface. Having a web-based interface also means there is no need to download a bunch of additional and bulky software. Plug-and-Use from delivery to first usage in under 30 minutes Powerfully intuitive interfaces turn everyone into robot experts We combine our groundbreaking technology with unprecedented usability. With Desk – a visual, workflow-based programming interface – no prior knowledge of programming is necessary to turn process expertise into robotic automation. Apps represent modular building blocks of processes such as grasping, plugging, insertion and screwing which can be arranged quickly to create App Workflows that tell the robot what to do to realize an entire A. Get the Apps you need, your pre-programmed production process. Apps can be easily parametrized by entering building blocks. commands conveniently and intuitively with the Pilot interface on the robot arm, and robot poses are taught by means of smooth B.

HUMAN ARM-LIKE DEXTERITY Sensitive manipulation and force-enabled applications Everyday life offers a plethora of instances where humans use the sense Compliant behavior of touch to successfully explore surfaces and manipulate objects. precisely and reliably adapts to work It is mainly thanks to the sense of touch that we can quickly zip up our jackets in the morning, mindlessly interlocking the two teeny-tiny surfaces and environments elements of our zip. A few minutes later, it is again thanks to the sense of touch that we insert our key to start our car – without having to look at the keyhole – as we frantically dash to the office. All day, every day, Adaptive assembly we humans do these complex dexterous things without even thinking engineered with human-like skillset about it. Likewise, a robot that is able to measure contact forces at the interface Robust processes between the object and its end effector – is empowered to recognize handle inconsistencies easily and use edges and shapes, and can operate accordingly.
