In the ever-evolving landscape of manufacturing, especially electronics assembly, AI-driven robotics is transforming the nature of quality control.
By using deep learning, these systems can detect patterns and defects that humans cannot, which provides ample opportunity for companies to leap ahead of their competition.
As AI continues to integrate into manufacturing, its role in ensuring stringent quality standards, enhancing inspection capabilities, and maintaining compliance with IPC (Institute for Printed Circuits) standards becomes increasingly vital.

Our century is seeing a new change in industrialization where robotics have become the new norm in production and manufacturing. The automotive sector is one of the main industries that has experienced a lot of transformation.
From conducting auto auctions online to make it easier to buy cars from the comfort of your home to robotics that are widely used for painting, welding, and assembly.
What is most loved about automated technology is the fact that they are precise and move relatively fast and repetitively; all this translates to much faster production times and high-quality products. [Read more…] about How Automotive Robotics is Transforming the Auto Industry
The world of electronics is moving so fast that the devices are connected in such a small and smart way that the PCB assembly is considered to play the most important role in innovation.
Now the question arises here as to how the printed circuit board (PCB) assembly has become the backbone in this regard.
In this context, PCB assembly offers a clear and visible base, thanks to which we enable them to integrate the components without any hindrance. This process is considered more for connecting circuits. [Read more…] about The Critical Role of PCB Assembly in Electronic Evolution
Comau has designed and deployed a high-volume, automated assembly line for HYCET, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great Wall Motor and a leading manufacturer of DHT (Dedicated Hybrid Transmission) technology.
The L.E.M.O.N. hybrid DHT is a next-generation transmission system that allows for the simultaneous use of gasoline engines and electric motors, enabling efficient power sharing between them.
To meet the customer’s large-scale manufacturing targets, Comau’s end-to-end solution features a total of 12 robots across 6 lines to deliver an annual production capacity of 150,000 units per line with a cycle time of less than 2 minutes.

Epson Robots has introduced a new class of high-power-density SCARA robots, the GX-B Series powered by the RC700E controller with integrated SafeSense technology.
Included in the series are the GX4B, GX8B, GX10B, and GX20B. The GX10B was showcased publicly for the first time in the Americas at the recent Assembly Show.
Built to perform with industrial-rated safety features, the GX-B Series takes SCARA robot performance to the next level. The GX-B Series delivers ultra-high performance and flexibility in a compact footprint. [Read more…] about Epson introduces new class of SCARA robots
Have you ever been at an auto show or a vehicle auction and seen amazing cars that left you wondering how they created such intricate shapes and precise details on that many cars?
The answer is quite simple: they use robots. Robots were introduced in the automotive industry in the sixties by General Motors.
Since then, car manufacturers have used them to keep up with the increased car demand. This has made it easier to make more cars and at a cheaper cost. [Read more…] about How Are Robots Used in Car Manufacturing?
RoboDK, a Canadian-European robot programming software company, has released the design and assembly instructions of the TwinTrack Probe.
Available from September 2023, the cost-effective tool allows users to easily record complex paths in RoboDK with an off-the-shelf HTC VIVE tracker and a simple 3D printed tool.
As the robotics market continues to evolve and more businesses are turning to robotic automation, there is a move away from traditional programming methods. [Read more…] about New RoboDK software ‘simplifies robot programming by demonstration’
