19. Compact LED light assembly machine – 4 processes are in a single tabletop robot
Four processes (assembly, coating, screw tightening, and inspection) are integrated into a single tabletop robot. The number of workpiece sets can be reduced and cycle time can be shortened.
20. Electric Parts Rack – Electric Actuators To Reduce Picking Errors
Since the system does not use a sensor, but uses the actuator’s position information to confirm take-out, the cost can be reduced compared to general poka-yoke systems.
