Supports fast mold change within 10 minutes for multiple model variants

±0.1mm fixture positioning accuracy ensures consistent clip alignment

≤50s cycle time fits high-speed production lines

MTBF ≥ 1200 hours, jamming rate < 1%

CCD vision inspection for real-time error-proofing

Integrated emergency stop and light curtain protection

Structural Overview & Functional Breakdown of robot inserts clips

  1. 6-Axis Industrial Robot: Handles gripping and insertion with high flexibility.  
  2. Vision Camera System: Mounted on robot end-effector to identify clip position and detect errors.  
  3. Vibration Feeder System: Automatically aligns clips with ≤1% jamming rate.  
  4. Pressing Cylinder Mechanism: Ensures stable insertion with precision control.  
  5. Quick Mold Change System: Pneumatic lock for swift and precise mold switching (±0.5mm).  
  6. Industrial Control Panel: HMI touchscreen supports MES integration.
