Electronics Assembly And Testing electronics fpc-insertion cable-assembly

Robotic FPC and Cable Assembly

Shows a robot working inside a fixture to insert FPCs and route nearby cables while motion is monitored in close-up.

The workflow demonstrates electronics assembly with flexible parts, where controlled contact and motion feedback keep insertion stable.

Storyboard

What the video shows

The robot uses high-precision force control and vision alignment to pick, align, and insert the FPC connector into the slot without damage.

  1. Step 1

    Pick the flexible printed circuit connector

  2. Step 2

    Align with the mating connector using vision feedback

  3. Step 3

    Use high-precision force feedback to guide insertion

  4. Step 4

    Secure the connector and verify the seating depth

Challenge

Why this task is difficult

Manual insertion of delicate flexible printed circuits (FPC) is highly error-prone and can easily damage the connector or cable due to tight tolerances.

Value

Operational value

Ensures damage-free connection, increases assembly yield, and automates a delicate task typically requiring highly skilled manual operators.

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.
