Get it Done with Electrical Component Assembly via PTS Corp

Get it Done with Robotic Assembly Plastics Technical Solutions Corp. (PTS), a FANUC Authorized System Integrator, designed, built and programmed a fully automated electrical component assembly system. How the System Works First Station: Parts are fed and oriented by an Asycube 240 flexible feeder. A FANUC SR-3iA SCARA robot uses iRVision to detect and pickup parts. Seven parts are then placed in the rotary turntable nest. The rotary turntable dial indexes 90 degrees and provides the SCARA a new empty nest. Second Station: Parts are fed and oriented by Moorfeed vibratory feeders to the SCARA robot which picks parts from the rotary turntable nest to position and place them in the correct orientation for product assembly. Third Station: A FANUC LR MATE 200iD/4S robot picks another part and assists in the sub-assembly process of all three parts located in the nest. Once assembly is complete, the final product is handed to the offload mechanism, turned 90 degrees, and placed on the offload conveyor. Key Benefits: • Six parts are assembled every minute • Manual labor is reallocated to do other tasks • Increased savings SCARA With its 3 kg payload, 400 mm horizontal and 200 mm vertical reach, the FANUC SR-3iA is ideally suited to smaller-scale robotic assembly, pick and place, inspection and packaging applications. Operating within a 360° envelope, the model’s lightweight design, ultra-compact footprint and integrated services minimize the risk of interference with peripheral devices. LR MATE 200iD/4S Extremely compact, this 6-axis short arm robot has been designed for confined spaces and compact machines. Easy to integrate, this model is also available with a range of options including integrated intelligent (robotic vision & force sensing) functionality, and special application packages. PTS is based in San Juan, Puerto Rico and offers a one stop solution in the design, building and manufacturing of custom equipment.
