Automated electronic component assembly cell

×

1 / Need identified

Automated rotary assembly cell where 8 different product references are assembled.

The main process of the cell consists of screwing two screws and two nuts, held in place by a rubber band, onto the casing of the different references.

Required cycle time
The automated assembly cell is designed to meet a cycle time of 2″/piece.

2 / Solution

VERSATILITY AND HIGH CADENCE

The automated process allows 8 different product references to be assembled at high speeds.

ARTIFICIAL VISION

The cell has two artificial vision cameras to verify the assembly of components.
In addition,

LASER MARKING AND DM READING

The product is laser marked and then checked using a Data Matrix reader, allowing for more comprehensive control of product traceability.

FLEXIBOWL TECHNOLOGY

FlexiBowl® is an innovative, patented flexible parts feeding system for automated production lines that use industrial robots or cobots.

Versatility:

  • Capable of feeding parts between 1 and 300 mm and between 1 and 300 g, regardless of their geometry, surface, or material.
  • Allows for quick and multiple product changes.

FLEXIVISION TECHNOLOGY

Computer vision software that controls FlexiBowl® operations.

  • FlexiVision controls all FlexiBowl® operations, including acceleration, deceleration, speed, angle, and activation of the tilting mechanism.
  • Manages the bulk feeder algorithm and robot calibration.
  • The system also allows coordinates to be transferred to the robot to activate the pick-and-place sequence, as well as more precise placement of parts in FlexiBowl®.
