Robotic Screw Driving System with Screw Inspection for Automated Assembly

Robotic screw driving assembly: http://robot.fanucamerica.com/Product... FANUC America’s new M-1iA/1H three-axis Delta-style robot is an excellent solution for assembly applications that require compact workstations and an extremely fast and accurate robot where no wrist rotation is required. Screw driving is one such ideal application for the new FANUC M-1iA/1H Delta robot. In this system, the robot picks individual screws from a screw feeder and uses a nut runner to drive the screws into four points on a terminal box for assembly. Once all four screws are in place, the terminal opens, the screws fall through and the cycle repeats. This helps display the speed and repeatability of the robot and system. The flash of red light is the robot’s FANUC iRVision-equipped camera taking a snapshot of the screw pickup area to make sure that a screw is present, it’s precise location, and that no obstacles are in the way. It verifies this information using FANUC iRVision Inspection and Error Proofing Software before moving in to pick up a screw. It takes just minutes to setup an application using this FANUC iRVision Inspection system – No camera calibration is required.
