This vision inspection automation solution is designed for 100% PCB inspection, where the robot loads PCBs into the testing equipment and sorts them into "Pass" or "Fail" categories based on the results.

By replacing the repetitive manual task of constantly loading and unloading PCBs, companies can reassign operators to higher-value tasks, significantly improving labor efficiency. Furthermore, this solution allows manufacturers to transition from manual sampling to total inspection (100%), drastically enhancing the quality standards delivered to customers.

Components

Robot
  • Robot: Universal Robots UR5

    • Payload: 5kg

    • Reach: 850mm

    • Max Speed: 1m/s

    • Repeatability: ±0.1mm

    • (Option): Can be swapped with a Rainbow Robotics RB5 depending on preference.

Workflow

STEP 1.Loading: The robot picks a PCB from the waiting rack and loads it into the inspection equipment.
STEP 2.Inspection: The robot triggers the test and waits for the digital "Pass/Fail" signal.
STEP 3.Sorting: Based on the inspection result, the robot sorts the PCB into either the "Good" (Pass) or "Defective" (Fail) rack.

Recommended Use Cases

PCB Flex Cable Insertion using Epson N2 and FT Sensors

PCB Flex Cable Insertion using Epson N2 and FT Sensors

This assembly automation solution utilizes the Epson N2 robot and FT (Force-Torque) sensors to automate the highly difficult process of inserting Flex Cables into PCB connectors. It is the optimal solution for performing high-precision assembly tasks while minimizing cycle times within confined workspaces. This project was initiated to automate the Flex Cable insertion process, which previously relied entirely on manual labor.

Defect Inspection of Cutting Tools using Doosan Cobots and Keyence Equipment

Defect Inspection of Cutting Tools using Doosan Cobots and Keyence Equipment

This vision inspection solution utilizes the Doosan M0609 collaborative robot and the Keyence Image Dimension Measurement System (IM Series) to automate the dimensional inspection and defect sorting of cutting tools. Previously, operators had to manually measure each part and perform visual inspections, which often led to human error in sorting and required a high amount of labor for simple, repetitive tasks. By implementing robot automation, inspections are now performed continuously without idle time. This has increased the precision of defect detection, simultaneously improving both productivity and product quality.

Box Handling Solution using Hyundai HH020 and HRVision

Box Handling Solution using Hyundai HH020 and HRVision

This sorting automation solution utilizes the Hyundai HH020 robot and the HRVision 3D vision solution to automate the manual task of recognizing text on the tops of boxes and transferring them to a conveyor in a specific sequence. By leveraging the high-speed recognition capabilities of HRVision, the system can capture and process product images even while the objects are in motion, ensuring seamless and continuous operation.
