With the advent of the 5G era, various coated glass components in cameras, VR, and AR glasses are becoming more and more widely used, and customers have put forward higher requirements for the appearance quality of coated or printed products. In automated production, any fingerprint, even a suction cup mark that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, will affect the yield rate. How to meet the increasingly stringent quality requirements of customers and improve product yield?
The flexible gripper is able to handle this problem perfectly
Using a flexible gripper, the edge of the workpiece is clamped. During the whole transfer process, the flexible gripper has no contact with the sensitive and weak surface of the panel or wafer, and can achieve the role of traceless transfer.
1. The panel has a large format and can be grasped
The modular design of the soft-touch gripper is lightweight, and can be freely arranged and combined according to the format scale, even if the panel is more than 1 meter, it can be easily transferred.
2. Weak wafers do not collapse
The clamping force of the traditional cylinder is large and difficult to control, and when clamping weak glass and wafers, it simply collapses, which affects the yield. The single-finger gripping force of the flexible gripper is adjustable in the range of 0-20N, and will not pinch the weak workpiece.
3. Not only grasp flat, but also flat
When the glass panel is placed, the synchronization of the gripper is required to be extremely high, and the cylinder-like gripper is simply not synchronized when placed, forming the problem of skew and inaccurate positioning. Unlike the linear piston motion of the cylinder, the flexible gripper is able to maintain perfect synchronicity and consistency.
4. Get used to the requirements of the dust-free workshop
Traceless fingers that do not stick to dust and do not produce dust, and are accustomed to the requirements of high-level dust-free workshops. The fully enclosed finger structure makes the driving air completely blocked from the environment, and will not cause the hidden danger of cross-contamination due to unclean compressed air like suction cup products.
Selection suggestions
Finger length and thickness:
It is recommended to choose a finger with a length of 3-4 sections, with higher grasping stability and a larger load under the premise of space permitting (A> B>C
Refer to the markings at the bottom of the finger:
LS8 (inverted tooth structure is more anti-slip)
Recommended finger raw materials:
[AS] non-stick (suitable for dust-free workshops)
