Robotized screwing and assembly system ARG

for screw assemblyelectricprogrammable

Overview
ARG is a 3D vision system for robot guidance, built to provide alignment recovery and precise coordinate output for tightening and drilling operations on Stop & Go production lines. The solution combines a compact tool‑mounted 3D camera, a GPU-based processor running ARG software with AI models, and dedicated lighting to deliver fast and repeatable point localization where part position and orientation are non-repeatable.

Key benefits

• Address non-repeatable part placement: compensates positional and orientational variability on Stop & Go lines.
• Increase productivity: locates tightening/drilling points with 3D vision and supplies coordinates for auto-alignment to holes, bolts or screws.
• Reduce fixturing costs: removes the need for complex, inflexible mechanical fixtures.
• Operator-friendly: designed for straightforward installation, configuration and maintenance.

Main components (all-in-one kit)

• Camera: extra-compact 3D camera suitable for mounting on the end-of-arm tool to capture images close to the process area.
• Processor: GPU-based computer executing ARG software and trained AI models for 3D image analysis.
• Lighting device: dedicated lighting modules to ensure stable acquisitions even in very low ambient light.
• Software: HMI for operator ownership and optional low-code tools for advanced configurations.

Application cases

• Part orientation: detects features on randomly presented assemblies (e.g. seat backs) and guides the tool to the correct positions.
• Global assembly positioning: locates features on vehicles or sub-assemblies when conveyor stops are not precisely repeatable.
• Batch detection: tens of holes or features detected in a single acquisition to speed multi-point tightening/drilling.
