Board-to-board connector fastening system "Kurassem-B Series"

basic information

This system consists of our company's 3D vision sensor, a dedicated hand, a vertical multi-joint robot, a force sensor, and a camera for positioning correction. The 3D vision sensor instantly measures and recognizes the board-to-board connector at the tip of the cable being transported from various angles, and the robot, receiving instructions on the gripping position and posture, accurately grasps the tip. There is a slight positional deviation that occurs during the manufacturing of the connector, but the correction camera compensates for this variation before fitting the male and female sides together to secure the connector. In manual operations, there are cases where the male and female connectors are misaligned during fitting, which can lead to connector crushing or partial fitting, resulting in equipment malfunction. This system determines the normal "click" sensation using the force sensor, allowing it to detect partial fitting (incomplete fastening) and misalignment of the connectors, thereby preventing functional defects such as poor conductivity and improving the reliability and quality of the equipment.

Applications/Examples of results

This system enables the automation of the fastening work of board-to-board connectors in the assembly manufacturing process of electronic devices such as smartphones, game consoles, tablets, and laptops, which were previously difficult to replace with robots. It contributes to solving the labor shortage problem and improving productivity and quality, while also achieving non-contact operations in manufacturing sites where demand has increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a track record of deliveries in the manufacturing process of smartphones.
