Shortest delivery times, competitive prices – automation in the 3C industry enables cost-efficient production processes. Our powerful small robots and cobots guarantee precision and particularly fast cycle times in the manufacture of computers, cell phones, TVs and the like.
The 3C industry is one of the most important sectors of the electronics industry and stands for Computer, Communication and Consumer electronics. This involves the production of electronic devices from the segments of computers, communication and entertainment: laptops, tablets, displays, smartphones, game consoles, headphones, monitors, AR and VR devices, and much more besides.
No other branch of manufacturing is subject to such rapid changes as the manufacture of 3C products, e.g. cell phones or smartwatches. Extremely short product development and life cycles coincide with maximum requirements in terms of speed and precision. For this reason, many manufacturing steps are still performed manually in the 3C industry.
Our robots for the 3C market provide the answer here: they can be implemented quickly and set standards in terms of accuracy and speed. Both the robots and their controllers require extremely little space in manufacturing. The advantageous price ensures that the return on investment is maintained even in the case of short product life cycles. Furthermore, KUKA offers its customers worldwide one of the best service portfolios in the industry with its digital service and local contacts.
From powerful pressing when assembling TV rear panels to the delicate insertion of USIM holders in smartphones – sensitivity plays an important role in the manufacture of computer, communication and consumer electronics. Installing a force-torque sensor on the AGILUS flange makes the robot work almost like a human hand.

The advantages for you:
In bonding and 3D bonding applications, various requirements come together: Different gripping positions must be localized, paths must be followed accurately and target positions must be addressed precisely. Automating adhesive bonding processes greatly reduces the error rate.
Application examples:
The advantages for you:
Manufacturers of 3C products are dependent on reliable quality control in order to be able to provide guarantees. Smart robotics concepts ensure automated final inspection of products with torque control, force control and vision inspection.
Application examples:
The advantages for you:
Manual handling can become a health challenge for employees. Robots provide support, for example, by means of reliable assembly, fast labeling or careful packaging, regardless of whether the components are small, heavy or bulky. Safe human-robot collaboration is also possible with our cobots.
Application examples:
Packaging of televisions
Handling of thin LCD panels
Insertion of cell phone glass or cell phone camera
Labelling
Application of protective pads on screens
Glass coating (sputter coating) of smartphones
USIM insertion in smartphones
The advantages for you:
Handling of heavy, large, bulky or very small components
Stable cycle times
Higher payload capacity
Increased productivity
External KUKA axis
HRC with standstill monitoring and safe light barrier
Robotic solutions for cleanroom environments
The loading and unloading of machine tools requires precision. However, automation makes processes not only more accurate, but also faster.?

The advantages for you:
Conveyor belts that do not have to be stopped – automated pick-and-place makes product manufacturing significantly more efficient. Handling by the robots can be precisely adapted to the speeds. In automated production flows, it is also possible to use multiple robots simultaneously – so-called Roboteams – for heavy or large parts.
Application examples:
The advantages for you:
Customized automation cells with robots and vacuum grippers can be developed for palletizing tasks.

The advantages for you:
If the polishing of glass is performed manually, many employees are occupied moving glass panels of diverse sizes into position. In the case of automation with a polishing machine, a robot system tends up to six polishing machines simultaneously and the pick-and-place tasks can also be performed automatically.
