Assembly of Contactors in an Automatic - Smart Production Process with Mitsubishi Electric Robot

Assembly of Contactors in an Automatic - Smart Production Process with Mitsubishi Electric Robot


1. VIDEO DESCRIPTION

Robots work independently on each production module to complete the assembly process of contactors. Thanks to its smart features, the robot can assemble contactors with fast speed and high precision. This helps increase productivity and improve the quality of output products.

 2. PROCESS DESCRIPTION 

Module 1:

  • The contactor rear case are put on tray  

-> Ready for the assembly line

  • The robot accurately positions the rear case to pick it up from the tray and put it on the conveyor belt  

-> The smart robot automatically recognizes and pulls out the tray to pick up the objects located deep inside, along with the built-in camera sensor on the robot to help accurately detect the position of the items on the tray

  • The camera takes pictures and determines the position of the rear case  

-> Accurately locate the required installation positions for each component inside the contactor  

  • The robot performs the operation of picking up and dropping the stationary core and operational coil to precisely put it into the rear case

Module 2:

  • The robot skillfully picks up the return spring component and places it in the correct position on the rear case.
  • The robot attaches the housing to the correct joint of the contactor.
  • The force sensor function combined with the vision sensor helps control the force acting on the housing shell without damaging the internal components.
  • Finish the assembly process by placing finished products evenly on the trays.

Module 3:

  • The robot puts the finished contactors into the machine for quality inspection.
  • Automatically recognize to pick-and-place onto the corresponding conveyor belts to classify output quality.

ADVANCED SPEED 

  • Mitsubishi Electric robot arms operate flexibly, allowing high-speed pick-and-place in many directions, ensuring optimal performance for the automatic line.​
  • The moment and inertia of the robot arm are optimally improved, allowing the robot to complete a cycle at a speed of only 0.29s.
  • The special transmission design is optimized to ensure the robot operates fast, powerfully and stably.

ACCURATE PICK-AND-PLACE 

  • The 2D camera sensor helps the robot accurately identify the coordinates, size and direction of objects, even on a running conveyor belt.
  • The 3D camera's multi-dimensional image recognition technology, integrated with the SmartPlus card, brings superior capabilities to the robot when it can simulate accurate spatial images, measure depth, width and the distance between each components.
  • Improve the robot's ability to handle diverse object shapes and orientations.
  • Perform pick-and-place operations with high precision, minimum error up to 0.01 mm.
  • Save up to 30% of object identification time.​

SOPHISTICATED JOBS 

  • High-speed servo technology helps the robot operate accurately without shaking, ensuring the best quality of finished products. ​
  • Force sensor technology helps the robot automatically monitor and adjust the appropriate impact force, from which the robot can perform dexterous, complex and diverse operations like humans.
  • Self-learning ability (AI learning) helps automatically adjust operations so that the robot arm can achieve optimal accuracy and operates flexibly, suitable for each programmed task.​
