Desktop Robots

Here are some of the benefits from using desktop robots and a look at the JANOME Desktop Robot lineup

Desktop Robot Benefits

What Is a Desktop Robot?

Desktop Robots, including gantry and Cartesian systems, are highly adaptable automation solutions, making them ideal for small-lot, high-mix production environments. They are well-suited for cell production processes such as dispensing, assembly, depaneling, soldering, testing, and more, ensuring flexibility and precision.

Ideal for small lot broad mix production

With superior versatility, desktop robots excel at the small lot, broad mix tasks necessary for cell production, including dispensing, assembly, depaneling, soldering, testing and more.

Semi-automation for a low manual labor burden and improved quality

A desktop robot can semi-automate an assembly job process without changing the actual process, thereby improving both product quality and production efficiency.

Small and compact

With its space-saving size, installing a desktop robot in your current production facility is simple. With installation flexibility, model upgrades and facility changeover are also easy.

Desktop Robot Application Examples

Dispensing

Desktop robots provide precise positioning and repeatable motion for a wide range of Dispensing applications, including adhesive dispensing, conformal coating, and jet dispensing.
When integrated with external dispensing systems such as Volumatic Dispensing, the robot enables stable and efficient automated Dispensing processes, contributing to consistent quality, reduced material waste, and improved production efficiency.

Screw Tightening

Desktop robots provide reliable automated screwdriving solutions for precision assembly processes.
When combined with automatic screwdrivers, they ensure stable torque control, improved repeatability, and reduced operator dependency in small to medium-scale production lines.

Soldering

Desktop robot solutions support precise Soldering applications, including Laser Soldering.
Accurate positioning and stable motion contribute to consistent solder quality and reliable assembly results.

Soldering

Depaneling

Desktop robots are suitable for automated PCB cutting and Board Cutting operations in electronics manufacturing.
By ensuring accurate cutting paths and repeatable motion, robotic depaneling improves product yield while minimizing mechanical stress on circuit boards.
