For products with strict sealing requirements, installing an O-ring during the screw assembly process is an essential step. To achieve fully automated assembly while minimizing equipment costs, Danikor has developed an innovative solution.
Danikor has ingeniously utilized quick-change modules, one-to-two flexible vibratory feeders, and reliable vision recognition technology to efficiently and accurately feed O-rings and screws. Initially, the system precisely locates and picks up the O-ring from the flexible vibratory feeder through the quick connection of the male head and the female gripper head. This step benefits from the gentle vibration and accurate recognition capabilities of the feeder, ensuring a stable supply of O-rings. After picking up the O-ring, the gripper places it onto a specially designed stretching mechanism in preparation for the subsequent assembly operation.

The quick-change module swiftly switches to the tightening female head, which then repositions itself at the flexible vibratory feeder without human intervention to pick up a screw. Similarly, guided by the feeder's efficient vision recognition and grasping technology, the screw is accurately picked up. Subsequently, the tightening female head carries the screw to the stretching mechanism, where the O-ring has been stretched and is ready for assembly. Through precise mechanical control and vision positioning, the O-ring is accurately fitted onto the bottom of the screw shaft, laying a solid foundation for the upcoming tightening operation.

Finally, the tightening female head activates and tightens the screw to the predetermined position, completing the entire assembly process. This solution not only achieves fully automated assembly of O-rings and screws but also offers cost advantages compared to traditional methods that use separate mechanisms for O-ring fitting and screw tightening. Additionally, it significantly saves floor space, making the production line more compact and efficient.
It is worth highlighting that this single-station design, which achieves multiple functions, is particularly suitable for applications with limited space but requiring high levels of automation. It not only enhances production efficiency but also reduces operational complexity, providing strong support for companies' automation upgrades.
