Installation of flexible cables
The handling of dimensionally unstable and sensitive ribbon cables is difficult due to their low rigidity and requires a great deal of dexterity, meaning that assembly is still mainly carried out manually.
To increase the efficiency of this process, ArtiMinds Robotics has developed a robot-based automation approach. The sensor-adaptive application is planned, simulated and programmed using the no-code software solution 'ArtiMinds Robot Programming Suite' (RPS). A vacuum gripper is mounted on the robot arm to pick up the ribbon cable from a defined position. The software's 'spike search' module automatically compensates for tolerances during the insertion process: To find the correct insertion position, the robot performs a force-controlled search movement and attempts to insert the cable into the socket. As soon as a defined insertion depth is registered by the force-torque sensor, the robot knows that it has found the socket and inserts the dimensionally stable component at this point.
