Repeatable robotic assembly for components and subassemblies.
Automate suitable assembly operations by combining part presentation, robot handling, fixtures, process tools, force control, inspection and traceable sequence control.
What the cell is designed to achieve.
Performance is confirmed against representative products, the complete process and agreed acceptance criteria.

How the application is defined before equipment selection.
The concept is developed from the full production sequence. This prevents the robot from being selected around one isolated pick while missing presentation, machine time, product variation or operator interaction.
- Break the assembly into verified steps
- Define part tolerances and presentation
- Design nests, compliance and tooling
- Select robot architecture and force capability
- Add presence, force or vision confirmation
- Plan rejects, rework and component replenishment
What to send for a useful feasibility review.
The quality of the first concept depends on the information available. Photographs and video are useful, but product and process data allow payload, reach, cycle and interfaces to be checked more reliably.
- Component drawings and tolerances
- Assembly sequence and joining method
- Required force, torque or dispense data
- Current cycle and quality checks
- Product variants and batch sizes
- Traceability and result-recording needs

View reference platform →Frequently asked questions
These answers provide an initial planning framework. Final requirements are confirmed against the product, process, site and applicable safety obligations.
Can a robot assemble parts with tolerance variation?
Often, using compliant tooling, vision, force sensing, lead-in geometry or controlled fixtures. Trials may be needed where variation is high.
Can robots insert components?
Yes, when alignment, tolerance and force are controlled. SCARA and six-axis robots can both suit insertion depending on approach and orientation.
Can the system confirm every assembly step?
Sensors, vision, force, torque and process-tool feedback can verify selected steps and record results when required.
Is robotic assembly suitable for many product variants?
It can be, but fixtures, feeders, tooling and software must support the variation. A flexible design should be based on a defined product family.
