Abstract

Populating printed circuit boards (PCB) with through-hole-technology (THT) components for small-sized batch productions remains a manual task. Placement of delicate components is inherently difficult, and complexity is added when components are delivered to the system in bulk. Part feeding remains an obstacle in automation, and economically feasible flexible part feeding for electronics components even more so. This paper presents an assembly platform for placement of THT components. The platform handles feeding of components from bulk, tubes, and trays, and features two robotic manipulators for feeding and placement. To simplify the setup task and increase flexibility each component of the system is programmed and designed from digital models and simulation and uncertainties are corrected for during execution.
