Compressor Tube Plugging
Shows a robot working around compressor tubing, aligning plug parts, and pressing them into position with monitored force.
The workflow demonstrates tolerance-aware plug insertion for appliance components where tube position, seating depth, and contact force must be controlled.

Storyboard
What the video shows
The storyboard shows a robot working around compressor tubing, aligning plug parts, and pressing them into position with monitored force.
-
Step 1
Prepare the workcell, fixture, part, or target surface shown in the storyboard frames.
-
Step 2
Locate and align the robot or tool for tube plugging.
-
Step 3
Execute the task with force control and monitored robot motion.
-
Step 4
Confirm the placement, contact path, inspection result, or finished surface before repeating the cycle.
Challenge
Why this task is difficult
Compressor Tube Plugging requires repeatable execution in industrial assembly and processing, where alignment, controlled contact, and process consistency can be difficult to maintain manually.
Value
Operational value
The workflow demonstrates tolerance-aware plug insertion for appliance components where tube position, seating depth, and contact force must be controlled.
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 industrial assembly and processing 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.
