FLAIR-robotic printed circuit board assembly workcell

摘要

The FLAIR (flexible assembly intelligent robot) workcell loads odd-shaped through-hole and surface-mount components onto printed circuit boards. It is 100% data driven, handles diverse components and boards in arbitrary batch sizes, uses computer vision for viewing components and boards, and incorporates sensor-based error detection and recovery, generic parts feeders, general purpose lead straightening, and lead clinching. It automatically calibrates cameras and robot. FLAIR functions either stand alone or are integrated into an assembly line.
