Abstract
An automated robotic assembly system is configured to assemble a device by fitting a first component made of a material liable to deformation by external force with a second component by means of a robot, and the first component is provided with a distortion detection unit for detecting distortion thereof. If the distortion detected by the distortion detection unit exceeds a predetermined value, a signal for notifying abnormality is output to stop an automated assembly operation by the robot.
Claims7
An automated robotic assembly system configured to assemble a device by fitting a component made of a material liable to deformation by external force with another component by means of a robot, the automated robotic assembly system comprising:
- a robot controller configured to control the robot;
- a distortion detection unit provided on the component made of the material liable to deformation and configured to detect distortion thereof;
- and
- a distortion determining unit configured to receive a distortion signal detected by the distortion detection unit and output an abnormal signal when a size of the distortion signal exceeds a predetermined threshold,
- wherein the robot controller is configured to stop an automated assembly operation by the robot when the abnormal signal is output by the distortion determining unit.
