Vanguard Robotics / ESTUN integration partner
Assembly and screwdriving
Present, insert or fasten components in a controlled sequence. The cell connects handling to inspection equipment and rejected-part management.
The process
Define every step of the operation.
Define mechanical datums and assembly tolerances.
Select placement, fastening or insertion tools.
Plan presence detection, inspections and required traceability.
Validate part variation, faults and cycle recovery.
Selection to confirm
Families to consider.
6-axis articulated robots
Articulated arms for machine tending, part orientation and process paths. The models shown cover small and medium payloads.
18 documented models
4-axis SCARA robots
4-axis robots for picking, orienting and placing parts within a planar workspace. Several payloads and vertical strokes are documented.
24 documented models
Collaborative robots
ECO and PRO cobots cover handling, assembly and machine-tending tasks. The documented PRO versions use torque sensors; check the configuration for each generation.
8 documented models
Compact MINI robots
Compact arms for machine tending, assembly and part handling where space is limited. The European range includes 6-axis arms; the global catalogue also documents 3-axis and 4-axis variants.
10 documented models
Cleanroom robot variants
SCARA and MINI variants identified for cleanroom use in ESTUN’s European catalogue. The model documentation must establish the cleanliness and operating conditions required by the project.
6 documented modelsValidation depends on the parts, tooling, cycle trials and cell risk assessment.
Project questions
Before choosing a robot.
SCARA or 6-axis robot for assembly?
A SCARA suits mainly planar movements with vertical insertion compatible with its geometry. A 6-axis arm provides more orientation options. Assembly tolerance, tooling and part presentation determine the choice.
Is repeatability enough to guarantee insertion?
Part and fixture variation also matter. Mechanical guidance, compliant tooling, force sensing or vision may be needed for the assembly.
