Automation of sub-processes for the assembly of energy chains

Efficient Energy Chain Assembly with Robolink Automation

The assembly of energy chains involves various intricate steps requiring precision and efficiency. To streamline this process, the igus engineering team has introduced automation using the Robolink robotic system. The Robolink collects individual components from a vibrating table, correctly orients them, and places them onto a conveyor belt. In subsequent steps, the Robolink picks up parts of the energy chain and transfers them to a designated location for pickup by a gripper. This automation accelerates workflows, improves accuracy, and optimizes assembly operations.

What is the Application?

The system automates the assembly of energy chains, handling component positioning, transferring parts, and preparing them for further processing.
