Assembly & Collaborative Work

Cobots that insert parts, drive screws, and tend machines next to people — fewer fences and easy to re-task when lines change.

Core functions
  • Repetitive tasks such as insertion, screwdriving, and dispensing
  • Force sensing for contact stops and fitting tasks
  • Hand-guided teaching lets shop-floor staff program motions
Customer value
  • Hands off repetitive work so skilled staff focus on setup and quality
  • Unattended night and holiday runs raise equipment utilization
  • Handles small lots and changeovers by re-teaching
Check before deploying
  • Payload, reach, required accuracy, and takt time
  • Risk assessment for collaborative operation and gripper selection

Selected Robots

Hand-picked for this work, with the reason each one fits. "PoC" marks robots to validate in a limited trial first.

Auto Plant · Powertrain marriage
6→1stations

Nissan's Tochigi plant fully automates powertrain marriage and upward bolt tightening with robots

Challenge

Fitting the motor, battery, and rear suspension and tightening bolts upward from under the body took six stations.

Deployment

Workers set the units on a pallet; high-speed vision tracks the body in real time while robots marry the units and tighten bolts upward.

Outcome

Six stations consolidated into one, handling gasoline, e-POWER, and EV models on the same line.

Auto Plant · Assembly robots
3tasks robotized

Honda's Yorii plant robotizes instrument-panel installation, electrical-unit fitting, and grommet plugging

Challenge

Trim and final assembly involves many parts and relies mostly on manual work.

Deployment

Instrument-panel robots since launch; in 2015 the power-drive unit fitting and grommet plugging were robotized too.

Outcome

Robots now handle three tasks in the trim process.

Ford Cologne assembles EV battery packs on a highly automated 2 km line

Challenge

Up to 12 modules are built into the case by welding, bonding, and bolting — 2,775 parts per pack.

Deployment

Volume production began in June 2025 on a 2 km line with 180 robots.

Outcome

Packs are assembled in-house and fed to vehicle assembly.
