Application example

Automated fastening on the conveyor belt

Titelbild

The task

In the production of electronic components, components must be screwed together. Automating this process helps screw as many components as possible in the shortest time without compromising quality. To achieve a short cycle time, screwing operations are performed continuously while components move along the conveyor belt, ensuring a fast and efficient process

The challenge

Accurate fastening requires detecting the current position of each component with a sensor and transmitting this data to the robot. Additionally, the sensor must operate efficiently and quickly to keep pace with the continuous movement of the conveyor belt.

Our solution

The VISOR® Robotic sensor reliably detects drill holes from a sufficient distance, allowing ample space between the fastening system and the component to prevent damage. Integrated hand-eye calibration enables the sensor to communicate directly in robot coordinates, with calibration possible at any location. Thanks to its high computing performance, the VISOR® provides position coordinates just milliseconds after capturing an image.
