Overcoming Challenges: Our Solutions

The Problem

Sennheiser Manufacturing USA produces professional audio equipment, which involves assembling thousands of different PCBs. Their meticulous process of manual PCB testing became a bottleneck on the production floor.

The Solution

Sennheiser used Robotiq’s 2F-85 Adaptive Gripper to handle 115 different PCBs and saw a 33% increase in the number of units tested. They also used Robotiq Insights to track daily production metrics, and the resulting data helped justify adding a second Universal Robots cobot in the summer of 2019.

The Robotiq solution

Four Robotiq Machine Tending cells were deployed at Fusion OEM within less than a year. A process made easy thanks to the use of Force Copilot.
