Case Study: Nymann Teknik achieves 3-month ROI and higher CNC output with Universal Robots

Robotic Arms Quickly Turn A Profit To Preserve Local Machining Jobs

Nymann Teknik, a small Danish machine shop, needed a way to automate CNC lathe tending after receiving an order for 100,000 units. To stay competitive with Asian pricing while preserving local production, the company turned to Universal Robots and its UR5 collaborative robot.

Universal Robots implemented a UR5 cobot to feed the CNC lathe 10–12 hours a day with no safety shielding required. The solution increased production output, was up and running within a day, and paid for itself in just three months, helping Nymann Teknik manufacture at a cost competitive with outsourcing.
