Device for automatically mounting screw and automatically mounting system
The invention discloses a device for automatically assembling screw and an automatically assembling system, the device includes a frame, a locating member, a taking member, a driving member and a screw feeding member: the locating member is for locating a product to special position; the taking member includes a rotating plate, at least three sucking elements fixed below the rotating member and located at a same circumference, and an electric screwdriver connected with the driving member and located upon the circumference; the driving member drives the rotating plate rotating, the electric screwdriver is movably located on the driving member; the screw feeding member includes a feeding plate including feeding positions, each feeding position corresponds to one sucking element; the driving member drives the sucking element acquiring the screw, and drives the sucking element moving the acquired screw to a position for the electric screwdriver assembling the screw to the product.
ADDING CUTTING STATIONS TO BENDING SYSTEMS
A system for generating rules inserted into at least one pattern board including: a controller configured to generate at least one shape diagram, the controller also configured to determine number and measurement of crease rules to be generated based on the at least one shape diagram; a cutting station configured to receive and cut a first crease rule into the number and measurement of the crease rules; and a sorter configured to receive the crease rules from the cutting station and sort the crease rules according to the measurement of the crease rules, wherein the sorted crease rules are inserted into each of the at least one pattern board along with a cutting rule shaped by each of at least one bender.
Component mounting apparatus and component mounting method
A component mounting apparatus includes transport mechanisms that transport boards, component supply sections, mounting heads, and a control unit that controls them based on mounting data. Each transport mechanism includes an upstream side operation area and a downstream side operation area. When the mounting data corresponds to an independent mounting mode in which each of the mounting heads is used to mount a component only onto a board on a corresponding mechanism, the control unit performs a control so that the upstream side operation area is used as a mounting area. When the mounting data corresponds to an alternating mounting mode in which both mounting heads are used to mount the components sequentially onto a board that is first carried into the downstream side operation area, the control unit performs a control so that the upstream side operation area is used as a standby area.
Rotor assembly system employing central multi-tasking robotic system
A rotor assembly system includes a central robotic system, which itself includes a conveyor platform and a multi-axial central robot arranged on the conveyor platform. The multi-axial central robot is configured to perform a set of manufacturing processes from among a plurality of rotor manufacturing processes related to at least one rotor component. The conveyor platform is operable to move the multi-axial central robot within the manufacturing cell to transfer the at least one rotor component between one or more rotor manufacturing processes from among the plurality of rotor manufacturing processes.
Vehicular assembly support positioning method
A method for positioning a vehicle assembly support device in a vehicle assembly station positioned along an assembly line. The method includes use of a plurality of locator pads selectively engaged with respective receiver sockets to position a vehicle support pallet in the X and Y coordinate directions. Vertical supports are used to position the vehicle support pallet in the Z coordinate direction. In one example, at least one receiver is a four-way positional receiver and at least one receiver is a two-way positional receiver. In another example, each receiver socket includes rollers which engage the respective locator pad to bias the vehicle support pallet towards the desired X and Y coordinate position.
WINDOW UNIT ASSEMBLY STATION AND METHOD
An insulated glass unit (IGU) assembly station can include an assembly table, a conveyor assembly, and a projection component. The assembly table can have a table surface configured to receive first and second transparent window components, the table surface being positioned at an incline relative to a vertical position. The conveyor assembly can be configured to translate the first and second transparent window components along a translation pathway from a first end of the table surface to a second end of the table surface, the translation pathway being substantially parallel to the table surface. The projection component can be adjacent to the assembly table and can be configured to engage the first transparent window component to translate at least a bottom portion of the first transparent window component between an initial position and a first assembly position offset from the translation pathway.

Production system general-purpose cell
In a production system general-purpose cell for general-purpose use in processing and transportation of a received workpiece in a production system of processing and delivering the workpiece, the production system general-purpose cell includes a base unit having a planar shape of quadrangle and supporting at least a robot for use in transportation of the workpiece such that the robot is movable on the planar area of quadrangle, a parts supply unit for supplying parts of the workpiece to the robot supported by the base unit, and a processing area extending outside the base unit. The robot supported by the base unit having a motion range set in a range from inside to outside the base unit in a form including at least part of the processing area.
VEHICULAR BODY ASSEMBLY LOCKING APPARATUS AND METHOD
A vehicle body positioning and locking devices for use in assembling a vehicle body positioned on a movable vehicle support positioned at a vehicle build station. The locking device includes a remote vehicle locking device for selectively securing and locking a vehicle body to a support pallet. The support pallet is accurately and precisely positioned at a build station through alignment and inserting engagement of locating pads in at least one four-way and at least one two way receiver mounted to a build station foundation. A compliant body clamp design is included to provide a desired clamping force between the pallet and a vehicle body across a range of motion of the body clamp to accommodate vehicle build variances.
