Versatility is Key for Assembly Robots

Cross-train­ing, as it per­tains to the work­place, is a very impor­tant in today’s job mar­ket. The same can be said for assem­bly robots.

Some­one work­ing in a bak­ery will not only bake bread. They will also be trained to make dough­nuts, bake pas­tries, and dec­o­rate cakes and oth­er con­fec­tions. Some­one who works in a retail estab­lish­ment may learn not only how to help cus­tomers, but also how do inven­to­ry or stock merchandise.

Assem­bly robots are not much dif­fer­ent. They also have the ver­sa­til­i­ty to be used in more than just one way in the man­u­fac­tur­ing industry.

When set up on a low­er vol­ume line, robots can even be out­fit­ted with dif­fer­ent tools to mul­ti­task, per­form­ing more than one appli­ca­tion on a work piece if necessary.

Also, when intro­duc­ing fea­tures like robot vision to the robot­ic assem­bly sys­tem, the sys­tem can han­dle items of dif­fer­ent sizes and shape, instead of hav­ing to stop and repro­gram or rebuild the entire line to allow for dif­fer­ing items.

When assem­bly robot­ics are pro­grammed accord­ing­ly for mul­ti­task­ing, it can reduce cycle times on items and increase pro­duc­tiv­i­ty of the facil­i­ty line. This increase in speed and accu­ra­cy will pro­duce a supe­ri­or-qual­i­ty item, one that’s qual­i­ty can­not be matched by man­u­al applications.
