ABB Robotics - Assembly of electrical sockets

[eduardomax199713]

esta muy bien instalado, seguro no fue por ABB mexico jajajaja, que les enseñen a hacer proyectos por que no saben en mexico, es mejor Fanuc

Just another normal day at work...

You may want someone to correct the spelling of "socket" at the beg of this vid. tx.

[ABBRobotics]

@radbcc Thanks for the correction.

How much will that exact machine set you back?

[ABBRobotics]

@julianshield1 That is a question you will need to ask your local ABB Robotics office.

It seems that 3D vision will increase the dexterity of the robot. How will tactile feedback help the robot perform more complex manipulation? What types of production require complex dexterity during assembly?

[ABBRobotics]

@davepamn Force Feedback is the current state of the art in robotics assembly. Already widely in use in Automotive engine and transmission assembly. This allows the robot to feel how things fit & adjust its movement in the same way a person would.

Hi. Can someone explain how industrial robots are able to be so accurate... it just seems to me that so much can go wrong... the robot may shift away a bit... the target object may not be in the exact position it's supposed to be... I know there's machine vision now... but even before machine vision, robots were extremely accurate... how did they achieve this level of accuracy?

I can't wrap my head around it.

[ABBRobotics]

@otakurocklee Good question. The fact is that not all robots are this accurate. The ABB robots are precision engineered with accurately machined castings & quality gearbox/motor/feedback units. This combined with world leading motion control software gives this great precision. For our new small robot positional repeatability (pose) is 0.01mm

[otakurocklee]

@ABBRobotics Thanks!

[davepamn]

What object recognition performance is the robot accomplishing?

What is the next level of advancement!

[ABBRobotics]

@davepamn Dave this is using pretty basic 2D techniques. Next level is 3D with single camera. Check out the Random Bin Picking movie from the ABB TrueView vision page.

[davepamn]

The part does not seem to change. If the part feed direct into the robot hand, it seems the speed of the insertion of the part would be many times faster. Does the robot assemble other types of parts and that explains the design?

[ThePearI]

So, do you assemble the robots using your robots?

[ABBRobotics]

@ThePearI Of course. Examples on this site.

[AllmightyJumpu]

hi. why is there a need to market using youtube to the masses when the targets are factories ?

[ABBRobotics]

@AllmightyJumpu Thanks for your comment. We upload our movies to YouTube because many of the masses are interested in these technologies. And also some of those people are actually working in the factories.

ABB Czech Republic. Jablonec nad Nisou factory.

[MarkoKraguljac]

When can we expect automated ABB production lines that spit out other customizable production lines? :D

[omarstrike]

very good ^___^

[Jourei91]

Oh, lol. 1:24. :D

Somehow that just doesn't fit the theme but still boosts it.

[cekol]

why using robots in such an easy job?

[ABBRobotics]

@cekol See the comment from Jana that used to do this job.

Nice choice of music
