Challenge
- Relays are critical components used in many electric and electronic products. Ready to open or close on command at any moment, they need to be extremely reliable
- Traditional feeding solutions, such as bowl feeders, were no match when developing a flexible assembly line (general-purpose equipment) capable of manufacturing multiple kinds of relays
Solution
- Prototype of an equipment feeding the plastic parts and the metal parts
- Assembly equipment for FCL COMPONENTS relays using two Asycube 240 systems to feed the plastic parts and metal parts of the relays
Advantages
- Highly flexible solution enabling the assembly of multiple different relays on the same equipment thanks to the use of the Asycube flexible feeder
- Compact equipment for a complete process from bulk loading of both parts to assembly and assembled part removal
