Applications

Positioning, holding and testing of reactive boards

The PGE series industrial slim-type parallel electric gripper was used together with automation modules to complete repeated positioning, gripping and testing of reactive boards.

Handling and positioning of small workpieces

The PGE series industrial slim-type parallel electric gripper was used to handle, position and precisely assemble extremely small workpieces.

IGBT module inspection loading and unloading

The electric-gripper automatic loading and unloading application comes from test equipment for IGBT modules (for new-energy vehicles) in the semiconductor industry. Using sensors and SCARA robots, dual-gripper equipment for the simultaneous loading and unloading of IGBT modules can change materials frequently. The wide-stroke, high-gripping-force electric-jaw PGE-50-26 and PGI-140-80 are compatible with materials of different sizes.

Mobile phone inspection loading and unloading

During the mobile phone audio inspection process, a robot equipped with grippers picks up and places mobile phones. The PGE series industrial slim parallel electric grippers can quickly complete equipment setup during product changeovers. The electric grippers have a wide stroke and strong compatibility. They can hold mobile phones of different sizes. With an integrated design and precise force control, the grippers can complete the task without any external sensors.

Pick up the headset to wipe off the adhesive.

After a wireless Bluetooth headset is assembled, the adhesive overflowing from the shell package is wiped off using a collaborative robot plus a six-dimensional force sensor.

The gripping force of a pneumatic gripper is unstable and can easily damage the surface of the headset. For this reason, our electric grippers with precise force control are preferred for the headset gripping process.

VR glasses lens inspection

In this application, lenses were gripped for surface inspection and to scan a QR code. Compared with a pneumatic-gripper suction-cup solution that carries a high risk of damaging the lenses, our PGE-5-26 electric grippers with precise force control protect the lenses and can grip lenses of different sizes.

Chip Pick and Place

For chip handling in chip sorters in the semiconductor industry, vacuum suction cups are traditionally used to pick up and place chips. Because the vacuum of the suction cups can be insufficient, there is a risk of dropping during handling, so the PGE-2-12 electric gripper is used in this application.

Advantages of the PGE series: precise force control, high repeatable position accuracy, and non-destructive gripping of chips.

96-well plate storage and handling

The unmanned laboratory is not used only in the sample preparation stage. With the combination of "AGV + six-axis robot + electric gripper + 3D vision", the 96-well plate reagent-kit handling task can also be performed unmanned after samples are dispensed into containers. DH-Robotics electric grippers can complete the task of picking up and unloading materials, transfer the 96-well plate to a storage box, or move a processed sample box to the test equipment, stabilizing the grip and ensuring the safety of the sample during transport.

Unmanned new coronavirus detection

More possibilities for unmanned coronavirus detection and throat-swab sampling: the solution is an AGV that includes two RGI rotary grippers and one PGE parallel electric gripper to complete the collection of collectors, sampling, opening of the test tube, storage of samples and closing of caps, disinfection, and all of the above operations. No human intervention is required throughout the entire process.

Throat swab sampling robot

At present, various emergencies place higher requirements on nucleic acid testing organizations. The Chinese government recently announced the requirement that "if the number of people to be tested is fewer than 5 million, all testing must be completed within 2 days, and if the number is more than 5 million, all testing must be completed within 3 days". This is undoubtedly a major challenge in terms of speed and safety.

The throat-swab sampling robot with a DH-Robotics PGE series gripper can independently complete the sampling step without medical personnel, and results can be obtained in as little as 45 minutes. According to feedback from test subjects, the robot moves gently and provides a good experience. It can be used as an aid to manual testing, improving testing efficiency and saving labor.

Nucleic Acid Virus Aliquoting Apparatus

The aliquoting process transfers scattered reagents into reagent kits (24-, 48-, and 96-well plates) for batch processing and testing in accordance with international standards. In this process, using electric grippers can keep the kit and samples as clean as possible.

The virus tube was gripped and rotated to scan the sample information.

Automated cup handling system

The automated aliquoting handling system can automatically complete the opening, scanning, information entry, pipetting, plate rotation and cap closing of the sample tube through an ABB SCARA robot arm and a DH-Robotics electric gripper. The entire process is carried out under closed negative pressure to ensure that the sample remains clean and free from contamination.
