Automatic Assembling System and Method

摘要

An automatic assembling system, comprising: a robot performing an operation of inserting a first member into a second member; a force sensor for detecting an insertion force exerted on the first member by the robot; and a controller for controlling the insertion force with a closed-loop feedback control according to a difference between the insertion force detected by the force sensor and a predetermined insertion force, so that the insertion force is less than the predetermined insertion force to protect the first member and/or the second member from damage due to an overlarge insertion force. The present invention also is directed to a method for automatically assembling a product.

1. An automatic assembling system, comprising:
a robot for inserting a first member into a second member; a force sensor positioned to detect an insertion force emanating from the robot and exerted by the robot while inserting the first member into the second member; and a controller preset with a predetermined insertion force and responsive to the force sensor for (a) measuring the difference between the predetermined insertion force and the insertion force emanating from the robot and detected by the force sensor while the first part is being inserted in the second part, and (b) controlling the insertion force emanating from the robot in the insertion of the first part into the second part to be less than the preset predetermined insertion force to protect the first member and/or the second member from damage due to an overlarge insertion force.
