Component assembly can be automated using a combination of rotary and linear actuators. Pictured here is a rotary indexing table assembling components into a product.
With flexibility to assemble multiple variants robotic assembly can sometimes be the optimum choice. New products can often be added with some additional programming.
Automation can be used to assist workers by transporting workpieces to them as pictured here. Alternatively, machinery can provide mechanical assistance for example in a manually loaded pneumatic press.
