Ultra fast surface mount device positioning robot

This video is direct from my camera. I haven't altered the speed in any way. This machine was mind-blowingly fast and precise. Unforutunately for me, the guys demoing it barely spoke English, so I didn't get much info on it other than it's intended for use in positioning surface mount devices on printed circuit boards (SMD on PCB) during manufacture.

Wow.

Video was captured at the Japanese competitive robotics event, RoboCup, in Osaka 2010. This was on display by a corporate vendor, not a competitor in the event.

lol, and people think there is going to be a jobs in the future.

Well that's me out of a job

This kind of speed and precision could only be achieved using linear motors and air-bearing or hydrostatic slideways. This could very well be the fastest robot in the world.

omg juki are for the scrap pile

That thing yould make me loose i job i don't want to have ^^

If I see one more dumb job post, I'm going to lose it. History of robotics: Robots do new things, all humans benefit, some humans get NEW jobs. This is how it is and always will be until the end of time.

"Oh no we're out of jobs". If your career plan was to manually pick and place down to 01005 (0402 metric) 0.016 × 0.008 in (0.41 × 0.20 mm) SMD components all of your life, career planning is not the only thing you fail at.

Im not that fast.

@jackzero99 Only the first, and then they could just build themselves :p

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!

wow!
