VCM Collaborative Package

Application: Direct mount cobot screwdriver end effector for advanced assembly adds auto-feed screwdriving to your collaborative workspace.

The VCM-3X.2 collaborative robot fastening system is a complete feed and drive package for use by machine builders. It includes an automatic feeder, programmable drive system, skeleton robot program, and end effector for direct mounting to a collaborative robot wrist. The lightning-fast screw feed to tip system saves precious cycle time keeping the cobot productive.

Compact End Effector:

• easy teach robot positioning for faster set up
• close center of mass minimizes cantilever effect
• clears part surface obstacles with less motion
• mitigates inertia effect on robot sensors
• direct faceplate mount for simple install

The light weight end of arm tooling (EOAT) allows maximum robot movement speed without sacrificing collaborative safeguards, having an average payload mass of 2.25 kg. Most applications will not require traditional safety hardware like light curtains or mechanical guarding making payback time faster.
