Flexiv’s Automated Precision Assembly Solution

Precision assembly can take many forms. From delicate FPC insertion to chip placement, the ability to manipulate and accurately position components is the foundation of numerous industries.

With even the slightest positional error resulting in damaged workpieces or defective components, traditional manual labor and semi-automated systems are simply unable to meet the demands of today’s precision assembly requirements. This in turn can lead to costly quality issues and production bottlenecks, which lower overall production efficiency.

Thanks to our industry-leading adaptive robots, Flexiv’s precision assembly solution though combines speed, accuracy, and real-time adaptability to correct for positional errors or external interference.

Actively compensating for variables such as misalignment and environmental disruptions, our assembly solution is ideal for environments where traditional methods struggle to perform.

What Are Adaptive Robots?

Adaptive robots are engineered to think and react in real time.

Unlike traditional cobots that rigidly follow preset trajectories, Delta’s adaptive robots use AI, torque sensors in each of their seven joints, and real-time force control to intelligently respond to variations in products, part positioning, and external interference. This allows them to react to collisions, insert plugs into misaligned sockets, and polish or grind surfaces with complex geometries without sacrificing precision or speed.

This ability to adapt makes them ideal for high-precision tasks, as they can "feel" their way through the assembly process, detecting tiny variations in force or position and making immediate adjustments to maintain precision.

Solution Overview

Flexiv’s precision assembly solution integrates advanced real-time force sensing with AI computer vision to optimize part placement and insertion.

Whether assembling miniature components with minimal clearances or fitting larger parts with tight tolerances, our adaptive robots deliver high-quality results with minimal or zero human intervention.

By automatically adjusting their motion and force output, adaptive robots ensure exceptional precision across a wide range of assembly tasks.

Their makes them particularly effective in complex or variable production environments, where consistent accuracy and reliability are essential.
