STRENGTH

sFAB-D strengths

01

No assembly restrictions
for a wide variety of parts

The sFAB-D supports a wide range of parts, from radial and axial parts to large odd-form parts, and loose supplied parts.
This eliminates restrictions caused by part supply packaging and handling methods.

PCB with various components mounted

Parts supplied in bulk

Five types of loose parts can be simultaneously supplied

02

Reliable recognition of
any type of insertion pins

Only the tips of pins are captured with high contrast by directly illuminating the outer circumference.
Precise pin positioning combined with bend and misalignment detection ensures consistent insertion quality.

03

Handling performance capable of supporting
large and tall parts at high speeds

Tall parts exceeding 2 inches or large heavy parts exceeding 100 g can be inserted at high speeds.
The machine automatically exchanges between nozzles that pick up the top surface of parts, part lead chucks that clamp the leads of parts, and body chucks that hold the part main body as required. This enables the machine to flexibly and reliably support a wide range of part shapes.

ISSUE

Have you ever had these assembly issues?

Manual processes become more
complex due to
increased product variety

There are variations in
quality and work time

Takes time
to educate

All of these affect quality and productivity

SOLUTION

Solutions from the sFAB-D

Automating manually dependent processes reduces training burdens and ensures consistent quality,
even for complex operations, regardless of skill levels.

Before pickup

Before pickup

The direction is checked by taking images of the top surface of the part, and the tool is turned so that it faces the correct direction.

After pickup

After pickup

After checking the lead positions, the direction is checked and the tool is turned so that the part faces the correct direction.

During insertion

During insertion

Success or failure of insertion is determined by the difference in the Z-axis stroke.
