This solution automates the bolt fastening process by utilizing the Neuromeka Indy7.

Bolt fastening is a delicate task where even a slight positional deviation can lead to operation failure. Furthermore, incorrect torque or improper alignment can result in damaged components or faulty assembly. The Indy7 minimizes these errors through high positional precision. As an additional option, the specialized IndyEye vision system can be used to inspect the concentricity of holes, further reducing potential errors during the assembly process.

Components

Robot	Robot: Indy7 6-axis articulated collaborative robot. Payload: 7kg. Maximum Reach: 1.3m. Weight: 28kg. Repeatability: ±0.1mm. Optional Vision System: IndyEye (for high-precision hole detection and alignment).

Workflow

STEP 1.	Setup: The workpiece is placed at the designated assembly position.
STEP 2.	Fastening: The robot moves to the target coordinates and performs the bolting operation.
STEP 3.	Sequence: Once the fastening is complete, the robot moves to the next programmed position to repeat the process.

Recommended Use Cases

Sand Blasting Automation for Sputter Carrier Handling using Two Yaskawa Robots

Process Overview This automation solution uses two Yaskawa robots with pneumatic grippers to handle semiconductor sputter carriers and automate the sand blasting process. Due to the long shape and heavy weight of the workpiece, the handling task previously required two operators, and the workplace environment was harsh due to dust generated during the sanding process. By automating the entire workflow from handling to sanding through robotic automation, the solution unmanned the key process and significantly improved the operator working environment.

Automotive Component Assembly Automation using Epson C4 + FT Sensor

Process Overview This assembly automation solution uses an Epson C4 robot and an FT (Force-Torque) sensor to automate the task of inserting and fastening automotive parts with a tight press-fit tolerance. Even when the fit is extremely tight, the system can detect insertion force, locate the correct position, and perform smooth insertion without part damage or jamming. This project was implemented to automate the insertion of fixing pins used in automotive components.
