In September 2024, the new cobot system was put into operation. At the push of a button, the cobot takes a frame with an assembly to be soldered from the loading station and either transfers it directly to the SEHO selective wave or, if it is occupied, to an intermediate buffer that holds 20 frames.
After the selective soldering process, the Cobot takes the frame with the finished assembly from the output of the selective wave and also places it in the intermediate buffer before an employee removes it to load the frame with a new assembly.
With the new system, a significant increase in productivity is achieved due to the reduced waiting/downtime for employees, significant increase in productivity, especially since the cobot could continue even after the shift has ended.
