assembly & test
IN-LINE TESTING
High speed assembly & test of complex products requires many different technologies. With Kinemetrix’s Agile Automation, you get:
Flexibility to assemble a variety of product versions on the same line
Minimal changeover time
In-process inspection of each assembly step
JOINING TECHNOLOGIES
Assembling requires joining, and Kinemetrix can automate the ones that your product needs. Process monitoring can also be included to detect errors. Processes include:
Laser Welding
Press and Snap Fit with Force and Displacement Monitoring
Mechanical Fastening with Torque and Displacement Monitoring
Deformation Fastening
Clip Insertion
Single Part Adhesives such as hot melt or RTV
Two-Part Adhesives such as Urethane with temperature, humidity and ratio controls
Ultrasonic welding
Heat staking
PART INFEED
Parts to be assembled must first be presented to the automation. Kinemetrix uses traditional methods where appropriate. These include:
Conveyors
Pallets & Trays
Vibratory Bowls & Tracks
Agile Feeding can leverage your investment by allowing the automation to assemble a wide range of products. Robots, machine vision and clever mechanical design are used to handle a wide variety of parts.
Robotic Bin Picking can reduce material handling costs by allowing robots to pick parts directly from totes and bins. 3D vision and sophisticated path planning are used to guide the robot.
