Industries and Applications
Electronics
Example applications:
- Pick and place of circuit boards
- Automated assembly of circuit boards (e.g. SMD components)
- Precision assembly of optoelectronic components (e.g. LED modules)
The electronics and microelectronics industry focuses on the design, production, and assembly of electronic devices and systems. It includes components like circuit boards, semiconductors, microchips, sensors, connectors, and precision parts used in everything from smartphones and computers to medical devices and industrial equipment. This industry requires highly precise handling of small, delicate, and sensitive parts to ensure functionality and reliability in the final products.
INNOCISE’s grippers, with their advanced adhesion technology, are perfectly suited for this industry, offering precise, residue-free handling of fragile components. Their ability to securely grip and release tiny parts without damaging them ensures higher efficiency and quality in production processes.
Optics
Example applications:
- Precise handling and assembly of lenses
- Assembly of optical filter systems
- Positioning mirrors and optical components in measuring systems
The optics industry focuses on the development and production of optical components such as lenses, mirrors, and prisms, used in applications like microscopes, cameras, binoculars, and scientific instruments. These components require extremely precise and clean handling to ensure their optical performance.
INNOCISE grippers provide a gentle and residue-free solution, enabling the safe handling of delicate optical parts while minimizing the risk of scratches or contamination.
Photonics
Example applications:
- Wafer handling
- Integration of photonic circuits
- Precise placement of optical filters and waveguides
The photonics industry deals with the development of technologies that generate, control, and use light, such as lasers, optical fibers, and optoelectronic components. These technologies are essential for fields like telecommunications, medical imaging, and industrial laser systems.
INNOCISE grippers offer precise and clean handling solutions for the delicate components used in photonics, enabling efficient production and assembly without damage or residue.
Aerospace
Example applications:
- Handling of glass fiber mats
- Assembly of high-precision satellite components and sensors
- Automated assembly of components in rocket systems
The aerospace industry involves the development of aircraft, spacecraft, and their related systems, which require strict standards of quality, precision, and safety. Components such as sensors, lightweight materials, and precision parts must be handled with care.
INNOCISE grippers enable secure and precise handling of complex and lightweight components, ensuring compliance with the industry’s rigorous standards while streamlining production processes.
Automotive
Example applications:
- Handling of bipolar plates and membrane electrode units
- Covering of parking/brake/indicator rear lights
- Precision assembly of mirrors and optical elements
The automotive industry produces vehicles and their components, requiring efficient and accurate handling of parts such as sensors, wiring harnesses, and precision electronics. As vehicles increasingly rely on advanced electronics and lightweight materials, the need for innovative handling solutions grows.
INNOCISE grippers provide a versatile and reliable way to handle both delicate electronic components and robust mechanical parts, contributing to faster and more efficient manufacturing processes.
Telecommunication
Example applications:
- Alignment of optical fibers
- Quality control of RFID Cards
- Assembly of optical switches
The telecommunications industry revolves around devices and systems for transmitting data, such as fiber optics, antennas, circuit boards, and microchips. Precision and care are critical when assembling and handling these components to maintain signal quality and reliability.
INNOCISE’s grippers, with their gentle and residue-free adhesion, excel at managing delicate components like fiber optic cables and small electronic parts, ensuring high-quality assembly in telecommunications infrastructure.
Life Science
Example applications:
- Mixing liquids
- Handling medical equipment
- handling medical connectors (e.g. for pacemakers)
The medtech industry designs and manufactures medical devices, tools, and instruments, such as surgical equipment, implants, and diagnostic devices. Handling components in this field requires not only precision but also strict adherence to hygiene and sterility standards.
INNOCISE’s grippers offer clean, non-damaging, and highly precise handling of medical components, making them ideal for use in the production and assembly of sensitive devices used in healthcare.
Packaging
Example applications:
- Filling packaging (e.g. tea bags)
- Pick and place multiple packs for filling (e.g. contact lens packaging)
- Handling of tablet blisters
The packaging industry encompasses the development, manufacture and distribution of containers and materials used to protect, transport and display products. The industry spans a variety of sectors, from food and beverage to pharmaceuticals and consumer goods, and is constantly evolving to meet the demands of sustainability, efficiency and automation.
INNOCISE grippers can enable the gripping, holding and moving of a variety of materials, from flexible plastic films to delicate cartons. Their ability to reduce damage and adapt to different types of packaging makes them particularly valuable for automated packaging lines where precision and adaptability are critical.
