  Optical inspection machines utilize imaging and image processing to automate inspection, measurement, and identification on high-speed production lines. High-Precision Dimensional Measurement Function: Non-contact measurement of length, width, height, diameter, hole size, and spacing. Application: Verifying if parts are within drawing tolerances. Surface Defect Inspection Function: Identifying various surface flaws. Defects Detected: Scratches, cracks, dents. Stains, contamination, foreign material. Printing defects. Assembly errors. Coating irregularities. Identification and Classification Function: Reading product markings and sorting based on features. Application: OCR/OCV: Reading and verifying dates, lot codes, serial numbers. Barcode/QR Code Reading: For traceability. Color Recognition: Sorting or checking color consistency. Shape Sorting: Identifying different product models. Positioning and Guidance Function: Precisely […]

  Optical inspection is suitable for virtually any manufactured product requiring checks for appearance, dimensions, completeness, or identification. Precision Electronic Components Examples: Printed Circuit Boards, chips, connectors, capacitors, resistors, LEDs. Inspects: PCB solder joints, missing/misplaced components, part dimensions, surface defects. Semiconductors & Wafers Examples: Silicon wafers, packaged chips. Inspects: Wafer contamination, scratches, defect patterns; package appearance, leads, marking. Automotive Components Examples: Pistons, gears, bearings, seals, connectors, lights, dashboards. Inspects: Dimensional accuracy, surface flaws, assembly completeness, printing. Pharmaceuticals & Medical Devices Examples: Tablets, capsules, syringes, vials, surgical tools, packaging. Inspects: Missing/damaged pills, print quality, label placement, surface defects. Food & Beverage Packaging Examples: Bottle caps, labels, cans, pouches. Inspects: Seal integrity, label […]

  Compression Riveter (for Solid Rivets) Process:   Insert a solid rivet into a pre-drilled hole.   The factory head is supported by a bucking bar or die below.   A riveting head applies high pressure to upset the protruding shank.   The shank plastically deforms, filling the hole and forming a second shop head.   Core: Uses static pressure to create a permanent mechanical lock.   Blind Rivet Gun (for Pop Rivets) Process:   Insert a blind rivet into the hole.   The tool’s jaws grip the rivet’s mandrel.   The gun head pulls the mandrel back while reacting against the rivet body.   This pulls the mandrel head, […]

Limited Workspace Description: Its working envelope is relatively small and dome-shaped due to the parallel-arm structure. Pain Point: Unsuitable for long-distance movement; ideal only for compact work areas. Very Low Payload Capacity Description: Designed for speed, with lightweight components limiting load capacity. Pain Point: Typically handles only a few grams to a few hundred grams. Restricted End-Effector Orientation Description: The moving platform has limited ability to independently control tool orientation during motion. Pain Point: Not ideal for tasks requiring complex tool reorientation, like intricate screwdriving. Fixed Mounting Configuration Description: Typically ceiling-mounted, with a fixed work zone after installation. Pain Point: Reduces layout flexibility compared to floor-mounted robots on tracks. More Complex […]

Extremely High Speed Description: The lightweight moving platform is driven by multiple servo motors simultaneously, allowing for very high acceleration and deceleration. Advantage: Ideal for high-speed picking, packaging, and sorting, significantly outperforming traditional serial robots in cycle time. Outstanding Repeatability Description: The load is shared by multiple arms, creating a stable, rigid structure that minimizes cumulative error and vibration. Advantage: Maintains high positional accuracy even at top speeds, perfect for precision pick-and-place. Excellent Dynamic Performance Description: High rigidity and low moving mass enable smooth, high-speed motion with minimal settling time. Advantage: Enables fast “point-to-point” jumps, reducing idle time and increasing overall efficiency. Compact Footprint Description: The motors are typically mounted on the […]

The core principle is that multiple independent arms work in parallel to drive a single moving platform. Core Structure Base Platform: The fixed base. Moving Platform: The end-effector that carries the tooling. Drive Arms: Typically 3 or 4 arms, each driven by an independent servo motor on the base. Forearm Links: Lightweight rods connecting the drive arms to the moving platform via spherical joints. Working Process Command Reception: The control system receives the target coordinates. Inverse Kinematics Calculation: The system calculates the required angle for each servo motor to reach the target simultaneously. Coordinated Drive: All servo motors rotate their drive arms precisely and in sync. Platform Movement: The motion of the […]

Assembly machines encompass a broad range of equipment. Here are the primary classifications: Classified by Degree of Automation Manual Assembly Workstations Description: Operators perform all assembly tasks, possibly with the aid of tooling and part-presentation fixtures. Characteristics: Highest flexibility, lowest initial cost, but efficiency and quality depend on the operator. Semi-Automatic Assembly Machines Description: The machine handles specific repetitive or high-precision steps, while an operator loads/unloads or performs key inspections. Characteristics: Balances flexibility and efficiency; a common upgrade path. Fully Automatic Assembly Machines Description: The entire process is automated, from feeding and positioning to assembly, inspection, and unloading, typically controlled by a PLC. Characteristics: Highest efficiency and consistency, ideal for […]

High Initial Investment Description: The design, manufacturing, and debugging of a custom automated assembly machine involve significant costs. Pain Point: A major barrier for small and medium-sized enterprises, with a long return on investment period. Poor Flexibility and Difficult Changeover Description: Dedicated assembly machines are built for specific products. Retrofitting them for new models is often difficult, time-consuming, and costly. Pain Point: Inability to quickly adapt to market changes and the trend of high-mix, low-volume production. Complex Debugging and Maintenance Description: These complex machines require skilled engineers for setup and troubleshooting. Downtime for repairs can be lengthy. Pain Point: High dependence on technical expertise, leading to high maintenance costs and […]

A typical automated assembly machine consists of the following major modular structures: Machine Frame and Safety Guarding Description: The foundational skeleton, made from aluminum profiles or steel. It provides a rigid mounting platform. Enclosed by guards with safety interlocks. Function: Ensures rigidity, contains noise, and protects operators. Feeding and Positioning System Description: Responsible for delivering components to the assembly station. Vibratory Bowls: For feeding and orienting small, bulk parts. Hoppers & Pushers: For feeding delicate or tangle-prone parts. Linear Guides / Conveyors: For transferring workpieces between stations. Fixtures & Locating Mechanisms: Use V-blocks, locating pins, pneumatic clamps to ensure precise workpiece positioning. Actuation System Description: The “hands” that perform the assembly tasks. Electric Actuators / Slide Modules: […]
