Mainboard assembly
Due to the ever-increasing miniaturization, manufacturing processes have to deal with very small footprints and connector sizes and are therefore becoming increasingly difficult and time-consuming. In addition, PCs and laptops are becoming more and more individualized. Flexible robots can greatly help to speed up PC and mainboard assembly as well as reduce manual errors or miss configuration. For sub-millimeter precise assembly cameras need to be utilized to check the results. The video on the right shows an example of the assembly of RAMs in mainboards together with a KUKA iiwa and a Zimmer gripper.
Used drag&bot modules

DIN rail mounting
DIN rail mounting in control cabinets currently still requires a lot of manual work. Often the provisioning of the different modules is challenging, due to undefined positions of the modules as well as obstactures due e.g. cartognages. The assembly on the DIN rail also needs to be very precise and need certain forces for clipping the module. Various variations of different modules need to be assembled. drag&bot offers vision systems to build even challenge applications for DIN rail assembly (see video example with UR robot).
Flexible automation with drag&bot
Graphical user interface for every robot – drag&bot
SCENARIO DESIGNER – 3D models of the robot cell and the workpieces can be added here to the visualization.
BUILDER – Applications can be created from predefined function blocks using drag and drop.
WIZARDS – Graphical operating and input aids: Users can adapt function blocks to the specific requirements of their application without expert knowledge.
OPERATOR COCKPIT – This is where the created applications are executed. One click takes you back to the builder and you can extend and optimize the application.
