An Ergonomic Manufacturing Assembly Station Designed for Your Production Floor

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, diverting arduous physical tasks from humans to automated systems can play a significant role in a company’s overall effort to reduce risk and injury. As OSHA points out, a simple way to reduce ergonomic risk is to eliminate the hazard. Assigning more demanding tasks to automated assembly systems solves that issue.

RōBEX offers several manual assembly station options that utilize our advanced engineering and ergonomically efficient designs. Whichever solution you choose, we provide guided sequences to safely lead the operator through the manual assembly process, prompting every step of the way on the Human-Machine Interface (HMI). With preventative sensors and data recording, we can ensure the operator performs the required assembly tasks every cycle, which removes variation from the manual operation.

An Upgraded Manual Assembly Process

Current trends suggest that there will be increased collaboration between robots and humans rather than total replacement. To strengthen that cooperation, you can implement more advanced assembly automation systems to improve working conditions for the humans involved in these increasingly sophisticated manufacturing environments.

While it may be less complex than the component fabrication process, manual assembly station operators must make numerous decisions to build, inspect, and complete the final assembly of the previously manufactured components.

This requires aptitude, adeptness, and acumen. If any deviation happens at any step in the assembly process, this can negatively impact the intended result.

A RōBEX manufacturing assembly station supports operators with custom-developed HMI-guided sequence instructions and poka-yokes, which give them clear visual indications at every step of the assembly process. Our innovative hardware and software enables adjustments to help fine-tune the actions at individual stations and scale when appropriate.

Features & Use Cases of Manual Assembly Stations

Our systems provide a powerful alternative for a manufacturing assembly line running small volumes, dealing with constant changeovers, or not pursuing completely automated assembly systems for any particular reason. With the help of our supportive assembly systems, operators can efficiently complete many standard manufacturing tasks including (but not limited to) torquing, pressing, assembly, and components inspection.
