Abstract
An assembly system that includes a robot adapted to grip an electronic device to be mounted on a circuit board, a first vision system that identifies a position and a posture of the electronic device gripped by the robot, a fixing device that fixe a plurality of circuit boards thereon, and a second vision system that identifies a position and a posture of the circuit board fixed on the fixing device. The robot mounts the gripped electronic device on a circuit board under the visual guidance of the first vision system and the second vision system. The view field of the second vision system is not capable of completely covering a surface region of all circuit boards fixed on the fixing device. The assembly system further includes a moving mechanism that moves the second vision system in a first horizontal direction and a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction, so that the second vision system completes identification of all circuit boards on the fixing device step by step. With this assembly system, the robot complete the assembly work of all circuit boards at an assembly station. Also, a method of assembling a circuit board that mounts a gripped electronic device on a circuit board.
