We envision a fully Robot assembly uses Yamaha Motor’s SCARA robot “YK510XE” and linear conveyor “LCMR200” to centralize the process from mounting to assembly of power module units for in-vehicle inverters.
The process of removing the dust-prevention “caps,” which is a challenge in automating circuit board assembly, can also be handled quickly, making this a demonstration that is close to a mass production process.
The leads of the power semiconductor are Mating in the Z-Move structure Socket 18021S mounted on the gate substrate to accommodate vibration resonance.
In addition, the connectors mounted between the boards are the 10120 series with Z-Move structure and the 10109 series with Floating structure, both mounted on the same board, allowing for the advantage of Floating structure to be Mating even when used in large numbers.Automatic Robot assembly is achieved by the general-purpose SCARA robot and linear conveyor, which absorbs mounting misalinment and assembly position deviations.

You can see a demonstration using FANUC’s collaborative robot “CRX series”. It’s a simple product that consists of 3 boards with 7 types of our main Floating Connector mounted on them, and child boards are inserted and removed endlessly in a circular motion, but I think that’s why it’s easy to understand the characteristics of each one.
Floating structure of our connectors allows for reliable and smooth board assembly even when only location teaching is required without using force or Vision sensor. It also highlights the movements unique to the CRX series collaborative robots.

We are assembling a box-shaped mock-up using Universal Robots’ collaborative 6-axis articulated robots “UR series.”
The Z-Move connector 10120 series is mounted on the board. Its floating function offsets mounting misalignment to enable robot assembly.
Also, the interface is equipped with a Unit-able connector, and the Z-Move function eliminates misalignment when inserting the interface connector.
By attaching Techmake’s multifaceted robot hand and mounting HIOS’s electric screwdriver for robots on the hand, the process from board assembly to screw tightening is completely reproduced on a single robot.

We use three units of Mitsubishi Electric’s RV-FR series 6-axis robots to assemble a box-shaped mock-up of high-mix low-volume products.
Not only assembly but also from workpiece supplying to screw tightening are reproduced by the robots, making a state closer to full automation.
The 10120 series is installed for the internal board connection. Its floating function offsets the mounting misalignment and completes board mating.
A Unit-able connector is used for the interface, enabling automation of high-mix low-volume products.
Using a collaborative robot in the material supplying section, we have realized a safety fence-less system. We are also implementing quality judgment and information traceability based on the sensor and driver’s output information.

We are assembling an in-vehicle camera module with ABB’s collaborative twin-arm robot “YuMi.”
The board inside the module is equipped with the 10126 series, and the floating function offsets the mounting misalignment.
By mounting HIOS’s electric screwdriver for robots on YuMi, the process from assembly to screw tightening is completely reproduced.

We are demonstrating how to assemble a PLC using two Mitsubishi Electric’s 6-axis robots, the “RV-FR series.”
The internal board is equipped with FPC/FFC connectors 11501 series and 11600 series, enabling FPC card insertion by robots.
In addition, the 10109 series is mounted on the mainboard connection, and the floating function offsets mounting misalignments and completes the assembly.
By attaching Techmake’s multifaceted robot hand, two functions are given to each robot. The process from assembly to work alignment in the returnable box is fully automatically reproduced.
