Abstract

Summary The sub-batch assembly principle combined with an appropriate layout, is suitable for small volumes. Reasons: –One (1) robot can assemble a large number of different part-types, thus avoiding a coupling between the number of parts in a product and the system capacity. –Working cycle time can be made short as the gripper exchange time is reduced and as the handling distance can be very short. –Product specific assembly equipment can easily be brought to and from the system in connection with automatic set-up. A flexible automatic sub-batch assembly system has been built at IVF and KTH, to verify the above mentioned advantages. It incorporates vision (very suitable for sub-batch assembly systems) and helps to integrate parts manufacturing and assembly.
