High Speed Connector Assembly with Five Fanuc Scara Robots

MS Automation designed and built this flexible and robust machine that assembles two finished connectors every 1.6 seconds at better than 90% efficiency – over 10% faster than the target cycle time of 1.8 seconds. A servo ring indexer with two independent sets of 16 nests provided a fast, accurate, and flexible transport system. Four vibratory bowl hopper/feeders, four SCARA robots, and quick-change EOAT allowed for rapid part feeding and assembly with automatic changeout capabilities. A combination of tactile probes and 2D vision cameras validated assembly at each step, and fiber laser was employed for marking. A fifth SCARA robot segregated rejects from finished product at final pack-out. With decades of experience and hundreds of successful advanced manufacturing systems delivered, consider partnering with MS Automation for your next automation project.
