Modular Robots in the Electronics Industry

Like any man­u­fac­tur­er, those in the elec­tron­ics indus­try do what they can to adapt to the ever-chang­ing tech­nol­o­gy in their field. That means automat­ing many of their appli­ca­tions, and includ­ing mod­u­lar robots in that automa­tion.

As prod­uct lines change, so do the needs of the lines that pro­duce them. By mod­u­lar­iz­ing robots and oth­er equip­ment, elec­tron­ics man­u­fac­tur­ers give their lines more flex­i­bil­i­ty. This flex­i­bil­i­ty gives the mod­u­lar robot a longer life­time with the man­u­fac­tur­er it serves, along with the abil­i­ty to con­tin­ue to improve pro­duc­tiv­i­ty, despite its place in the plant.

By con­sis­tent­ly using mod­u­lar­iza­tion for robots, the machines are able to adapt eas­i­er to the vary­ing degrees of dif­fer­ent prod­uct lines that may have dif­fer­ent prod­uct sizes, group sizes and dif­fer­ent cycle times and through­put. Tech­nol­o­gy changes at a light­ning pace, and these robots need to be able to adapt to those changes.

Also, by using mod­u­lar robots, man­u­fac­tur­ers are able to work a lean­er pro­duc­tion line, while improv­ing their auto­mat­ed test­ing process­es for their elec­tri­cal com­po­nents, includ­ing equip­ment tests, and add capac­i­ty for the prod­uct line to meet the demand of the consumers.

When the elec­tron­ics indus­try, as well as oth­er indus­tries with high prod­uct turnover, are able to install super flex­i­ble mod­u­lar robot sys­tems, this will result in an improve­ment in hard­ware, soft­ware and the inter­ac­tion of the robots, fur­ther improv­ing the integri­ty and the pro­duc­tiv­i­ty of the pro­duc­tion process.

Robots​.com, pro­vides robots from Fanuc, Motoman and KUKA and has sev­er­al mod­u­lar robots avail­able for your man­u­fac­tur­ing needs. Our staff will sit down with you and design a lay­out that fits per­fect­ly for your company’s facil­i­ty and application.
