Robotic Screw Driving

The Optima Robotics screwdriving setup includes a screwdriver, a screw feeder, and a screwdriver controller, making it adaptable for diverse industries such as telecommunications, electronics, automotive, plastic parts manufacturing, woodworking, and furniture production.

Programming new screw jobs is simplified with a user-friendly graphical interface, negating the need for any prior robotics or programming expertise. You can set screwing speeds for the start, middle, and end phases of the operation. The servo mechanism enables detailed programming of both screw speeds and torque, with adjustable force applied during screwing.

Screws can be tightened based either on torque or the depth at which they are fixed. A built-in safety feature in the screwdriver’s tool tip assembly allows for safe human-robot interaction. This safety sensor detects any obstruction in the path of the working screwdriver, pausing the robot temporarily.

The Issue
Inconsistent Assembly

Screwdriving is a critical step in the assembly process but is susceptible to human mistakes, leading to potential product damage, negative impacts on your reputation, and financial losses. When skilled labor is scarce on assembly lines, it not only undermines the workers’ motivation but also increases the likelihood of strain injuries, further complicating workforce reliability.

THE SOLUTION
Reduce Mistakes

Automating the screwdriving process reduces human mistakes and enhances both product quality and trust among customers, leading to increased revenue. Additionally, it allows workers to engage in more challenging tasks, positively influencing employee retention and enhancing overall production efficiency and reliability.
