Autoblocks Launch at IPC Apex Show

Overview

Welcome to our Use Case Gallery, where we present a collection of assembly machines built by AutoBlocks™️. Through images and detailed descriptions, we invite you to explore a variety of innovative systems designed and built using our standardized and modular approach. These Turn Block™ and Machine Block™ based solutions demonstrate how AutoBlocks™️ revolutionizes custom machine building, offering cost-efficient modules and easy-to-use software for accelerated deployment, reduced costs, and increased productivity. Immerse yourself in this showcase and witness the transformative power of AutoBlocks™️ in driving next-generation assembly machines.

PRECISION ASSEMBLY MACHINE

This concept demonstrated the massive range of capabilities of an AutoBlocks system. This system includes 4 Epson robots, 3 flex feeders, and 7 vision systems for precision assembly.

INDUCTION SOLDERING MACHINE

This machine was designed and built using the Turn Block 24, and the Induction Block. This simple and productive machine is manually loaded/unloaded with a PCB board and some high mass parts that are soldered together using solder paste. The Turn Block table is fitted with fixtures for highly consistent location while the Induction block has a vertical axis of motion to accurately move the heating coil in and out during indexing. The enclosure protects the operator from burning hazards, allows for fume extraction, and provides part tracking through the machine.

ASG ROBOTIC SCREW DRIVING MACHINE

This machine was designed and built using the Turn Block 24, an Epson T3 Motion Block, and an ASG basic screw fastening kit. It includes a 36” aluminum table, 3D printed fixtures, and a safety enclosure with part presence sensor, light curtain, door switch, and light tower. This machine allows an operator to double productivity by allowing them to manually assembly components while the robot drives the screws. This machine is a desktop version but has the ability to be expanded to add more stations and a machine base.

ASG Basic Screw Driving System

Our basic robotic screw driving machine includes everything you need to add a high quality ASG X-PAQ precision screw fastening system to your production line. Included in our started desktop system: X-PAQ controller with data recording, transducerized electric driver, Epson T3 robot, mount brackets, screw presenter, and AutoBlocks plug & play wiring and pneumatics. Each system is customized to the screw and torque range required.

ASG Auto Feed Screw Driving System

Our blow feed ASG robotic screw driving machine includes everything you need to add a high speed ASG X-PAQ precision screw fastening system with screw blow feeding to your production line. Included in our starter desktop system: X-PAQ controller with data recording, transducerized electric driver, 2 axis gantry, bowl feeder, cables, and AutoBlocks plug & play wiring and pneumatics. Each system is customized to the screw and torque range required.

Lights Out 2 Robot System

Build a lights-out machine that is capable of running buffer parts with no operator attendance. Buy this type of system or build up to it from a basic system. Autoblocks grows with your production needs!

Inductive Soldering Machine

This machine is built using the Turn Block 24 and a rear Induction Block. This simple and productive machine is manually loaded/unloaded with a PCB board and some high mass parts that are soldered together using solder paste. The Turn Block table is fitted with fixtures for highly consistent location while the Induction block has a vertical axis of motion to accurately move the heating coil in and out during indexing. The enclosure protects the operator from burning hazards, allows for fume extraction, and provides part tracking through the machine.
