The PCB assembly robots have physical arms just like humans, making the assembly process efficient and fast. Also, force sensors make sure that robotic arms apply only needed pressure while ...

Automotive and Parts Manufacturing Industry In automobile production, truss robots are mainly used for engine block/cylinder head processing, gearbox component loading and unloading, and body stamping ...

Robots and configurable material-handling systems are examples of the software automation used in the PCB assembly industry.

In his continuing quest to reduce the parts count of a robot as far as possible, [Carl Bugeja] has hit upon an unusual design: robots built of almost nothing but PCBs. Admittedly, calling these flo… ...

Another assembly area where robots are applied is that of dispensing, including such tasks as adhesive application and forming seals and gaskets.

When we think of assembling a PCB, we’re almost always thinking about solder. Whether in paste form or on the spool, hand-iron or reflow, some molten metal is usually in the cards. [Stephen ...

However, for the PCB to work reliably, it’s imperative that a number of best practices are followed in their assembly. Follow these six steps to make sure your next PCB assembly process turns ...

Robots are turning up on more factory floors and assembly lines as companies struggle to hire enough workers to fill rising orders. Orders for workplace robots in the U.S. increased by a record 40 ...
