GLAUB Automation & Engineering GmbH needed to automate the labor-intensive assembly of electronic components to circuit boards, called Through-Hole Technology (THT). ABB’s YuMi can work alongside human workers to precisely fit components into boards with a high degree of accuracy.
Learn moreYuMi® is the world’s first truly collaborative robot, able to work side-by-side on the same tasks as humans while still ensuring the safety of those around it. Capable of handling anything from a watch to a tablet PC and with the level of accuracy that could thread a needle, YuMi® will radically change the way we think about assembly automation.
YuMi® is about “you” and “me” creating an automated future together.
YuMi® is “you” and “me”, working together to create endless possibilities. That’s YuMi®.
YuMi® meets the demands of a consumer market that is driving a need for greater flexibility in automated manufacturing head-on. For manufacturers, the market has changed the rules in ways that can be addressed effectively only by automation. The “new norm” of Small Parts Assembly is higher product volumes, shorter product lifecycles, shorter lead times and a growing trend to customize goods – particularly electronics – close to final markets.
YuMi® is a collaborative, dual-arm Small Parts Assembly robot that includes flexible hands, parts feeding systems, camera-based part location and state-of-the-art robot control. It can collaborate, side-by-side, with humans in a normal manufacturing environment enabling companies to get the best out of both humans and robots, together. One of YuMi®’s unique features is its “inherently safe” design, allowing it to work alongside humans while reducing risks to acceptable safety levels.
YuMi® is inherently safe by design. It has no barriers, no cages, no zones, YuMi® is the first truly collaborative robot solution.
It is able to perform the motions required in Small Parts Assembly within a very small space while maintaining a human-like reach. This is critical to minimizing the footprint on the factory floor and also makes it possible to install YuMi® into the work stations currently used only by humans.
