Assembly Robots

Assembly Line Robots

Robotic assembly is likely one of the first images people have when they think of industrial robots. Automotive manufacturing – essentially the first industry to standardize on robotic automation – utilizes heavy-duty six axis robots to increase capacity and improve quality in their manufacturing processes.

Today, assembly line robots stretch far beyond automotive, as we see more and more opportunities for high-speed robotic assembly of small intricate parts. Assembly line robot processes provide the speed and precision manufacturers require without sacrificing quality and accuracy. The flexibility of assembly line robots allows manufacturers to optimize workflow, increase capacity, and easily produce a wider range of products because they can perform multiple value-added processes, eliminating the need for expensive fixed automation. Intelligent features like integrated 2D and 3D iRVision and Force sensing enhance the assembly process.
