What is Assembly Robot Arm?
The assembly robot arms are widely used to automate works that require putting products together. Mainly machinery, furniture, components, and automotive assembly. These assembly robot arms frequently come with 6-axis and 4-axis arms. Its arms are dexterity, which is similar to a human arm.
Cars, medical devices, and computer parts are built using robot assembly. Using robots in the assembly lines is common in the production industry. In fact, it is the only way to achieve a low-cost assembly line. Assembly robot arm makes a complicated assembly be completed quickly.
Alfarobot offers an assembly robot arm that can fit, mate, orderly position, and assemble components/parts in numerous industrial applications. These robots will help you maximize the productivity and quality of your robot assembly line. Our robot assembly allows you to configure your manufacturing line with ease.
Quick Installation
Installation of the assembly robot arm takes a few hours only with a simple debugging process.
Flexible Design
Our robot assembly has a compact and flexible design, providing you with a big workspace.
High Load Capacity
Our assembly robot arm has maximum rigid arms, which can handle large items without complications.
Delta Robots
These robots possess smaller payload capacities. However, they possess outstanding acceleration and speed. Delta robots are mounted on the ceiling with motor bases, which help in operating the 3-linked arms.
Delta robots have unparalleled speed and precision. Normally, these robots have a speed of 10mm/sec and can handle enhanced repeatability.
SCARA Robots
SCARA (Selective Compliant Articulated Robot Arm) has four axes. It is great for high-speed assembly applications. SCARA robots are compliant in the Y and X planes, and functional in assembly works like putting pins into holes. It can be done without binding.
Six-Axis Robots
The 6-axis robots deliver more strength, flexibility, and perfect reach to complete the tasks. These robots are nimble, extremely dexterous, compact in design, and can accommodate any angle of assemblies. The 6-axis robots are the most common robot types in the industry.
Robot assembly has traditional interfaces used for inspection and motion guidance through vision systems. Then, the vision system helps the robot to locate part features and identify the part style. This will lead to an accurate assembly process. The system will guide the robot to pick up parts from conveyors. Moreover, the assembly robot arm also has a visual serving to rotate or translate pieces to fit them properly into other pieces.
Robot assembly is also possessed with force-sensing technologies. This feature allows for accurate accomplishment of part assembly such as insertion. Then, it will give feedback to the robot controller on the applied force amount being assembled into the parts. The assembly robot arm along with its vision system and force-sensing technologies create a cost-effective automated production line.
Improved Reliability
Assembly robot arm complies with strict repeatability and payload test. Therefore, it can guarantee precision performance for various applications.
Additional Floor Space
Regulating the production line of assembly minimizes the floor space amount being occupied. It allows you to use the floor space of the factory for other processes.
Improved Quality
Robot assembly possesses excellent accuracy that minimizes quality defects and reduces product waste. Unlike human workers who experience fatigue, the robot assembly can handle the continuous job without affecting high-quality results.
Increased Safety
Assembly robot arms maximize workplace safety and functional design by operating repetitive and dangerous tasks. It comes with safety equipment for human workers’ safety.
Wide Range Applications
robot assembly is suitable not just for assembly applications but can also handle other applications, including:
- Palletizing
- Dispensing
- Cutting
- Welding
- Material Handling
- Packaging
Part Joining or Fastening
This method is crucial in assembly work as the primary task of the assembly line is to bring various components together. Robot assembly can handle multiple fastening processes including a screwdriver, ultrasonic welding, glue/adhesive dispensing, and inserting clips.
Bin Picking
Sorting and identifying random products such as totes, cases, bins, and cartons can be done through a bin-picking robot. The performance can guarantee maximum accuracy through the vision system of the robot. The assembly robot arm is a great solution for production lines operating parts from bins.
Sortation of Part
Assembly robot arm can help sort and selecting parts according to part features like color, geometry, barcode, and marking.
Identification of Part
Part’s traceability and genealogy are important in various production processes. Robot assembly, along with its vision system is helpful in identifying parts.
