Soldering Station

The client required a high-throughput welding station to join a cable with a 90° connector.

LG AUTOMATION designed a compact station by integrating an Apollo Weiko Welding Unit along a movable nest assembly for easier access to the nests.

The safety system required two light curtains as well as two optotouch buttons to ensure the operator remains safe while the station welds and moves the nest assembly.

The station resulted in the integration of the following elements:

  • Apollo Seiko Welding Unit
  • Keyence Vision Sensor
  • Allen Bradley HMI & PLC
  • FESTO servomotors
  • Keyence safety light curtains
