n this video, we showcase a real-world application of the igus Raumportalroboter (Cartesian robot) in a customer test scenario. Our goal is to demonstrate the robot’s exceptional precision and reliability in handling small metal pins.

Application Scenario: Our customer, a manufacturing company, faces the challenge of assembling intricate components that involve inserting metal pins into precise locations. These pins are critical for the functionality and structural integrity of the final product. Traditional manual assembly methods are time-consuming, error-prone, and lack the required precision.

Solution: Enter the igus Raumportalroboter. Equipped with three degrees of freedom and an 800 x 800 x 500 mm working area, this robot is designed for precision tasks. Here’s how the process unfolds:

  1. Pick-Up Phase:

    • The robot’s end effector, equipped with a custom gripper, approaches the metal pins.

    • Using its high-resolution vision system, the robot identifies the exact position of each pin.

    • The robot’s precise movements ensure that it picks up each pin without damaging its delicate features.

  2. Insertion Phase:

    • The robot moves to the assembly area, where the product awaits.

    • With micron-level accuracy, the robot inserts each metal pin into its designated hole.

    • The force control system ensures that the pins are securely seated without excessive pressure.

  3. Quality Assurance:

    • The robot performs a final inspection, verifying that all pins are correctly inserted.

    • Any deviations trigger an immediate alert, preventing defective products from reaching the next assembly stage.

Key Benefits:

  • Precision:

    The igus robot consistently achieves sub-millimeter accuracy, ensuring reliable assembly.

  • Speed:

    The automated process significantly reduces cycle time compared to manual labor.

  • Scalability:

    The robot can handle varying pin sizes and adapt to different product designs.

  • Cost-Efficiency:

    By eliminating human error and rework, the customer experiences cost savings.

Conclusion: The successful customer test demonstrates the igus Raumportalroboter’s suitability for high-precision assembly tasks. Whether it’s metal pins, electronic components, or other delicate parts, this robot delivers consistent results, streamlining production and enhancing product quality.
