FPC Connector Insertion

Shows a flexible printed circuit being presented to a connector, aligned under vision, and inserted with controlled force.

The application focuses on high-precision connector insertion where small offsets can buckle the FPC or damage contacts.

Storyboard

What the video shows

The storyboard shows a flexible printed circuit being presented to a connector, aligned under vision, and inserted with controlled force.

  1. Step 1

    Prepare the workcell, fixture, part, or target surface shown in the storyboard frames.

  2. Step 2

    Locate and align the robot or tool for fpc insertion.

  3. Step 3

    Execute the task with vision guidance and monitored robot motion.

  4. Step 4

    Confirm the placement, contact path, inspection result, or finished surface before repeating the cycle.

Challenge

Why this task is difficult

FPC Connector Insertion requires repeatable execution in electronics assembly and testing, where alignment, controlled contact, and process consistency can be difficult to maintain manually.

Value

Operational value

The application focuses on high-precision connector insertion where small offsets can buckle the FPC or damage contacts.

Deployment layer

How Robita AI helps

Robita AI turns this kind of Flexiv demonstration into a deployment plan: we assess the manual workflow, define the tooling and fixture assumptions, validate the robot capability, and map the pilot path from first test to production rollout. For electronics assembly and testing applications, that means connecting the visible robot motion to practical questions like cycle time, safety, operator handoff, data capture, and integration with the existing workstation.

Complexity reduction

How Flexiv force control reduces complexity

Flexiv force control lets the robot adapt during contact instead of relying only on exact position commands. That reduces the need for heavy custom mechanics, perfectly rigid fixtures, and long exception programming because the robot can feel insertion, pressure, and surface contact while it works.
