[Automation Example] Automatic Connector Fitting

Solve challenges when the target object is not stationary! Ensure stable productivity.

We would like to introduce a case where automatic fitting of connectors flowing on a line, which has been considered difficult to automate until now, has been realized. Fitting requires strong pressure, and delicate tactile feedback was necessary to ensure it was done correctly. It was challenging for the robot to accurately detect the position and orientation for gripping. In this system, the robot accurately recognizes the orientation of the connector on the slider using a 3D camera and AI technology. It receives real-time feedback from force sensors to delicately guide the insertion. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - When the target object is not stationary, it is difficult for the robot to accurately detect and grip its position and orientation. - Fitting requires strong pressure, and delicate "tactile feedback" is necessary to ensure it is done correctly. ■Results - Automation of manual processes: Achieved automation of high-precision tasks that relied on human labor. - Improved productivity and consistency: Automation ensures stable productivity. - Complete automation: Integrated conveyor tracking and high-precision insertion into a single seamless robot workflow. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
