In tough economic times it is even more important to find efficient, cost effective ways to improve assembly processes and to make sure they save you time and money. Assembly automation is a sure way to improve productivity, especially when you find a single innovative system that can drive and assemble multiple parts that have different drive configurations. Visumatic has just launched the only system on the market today that can answer this challenge.

NEW! VISUMATIC ROBOTIC FASTENER WITH VERSA SOFTWARE
Visumatic’s Robotic Fastener with VERSA software is new to the industry. VERSA is a true industry innovation because you—the customer—can define and self-program drive sequences for multiple parts on a simple, extremely user friendly windows based touch screen. With Visumatic‘s VERSA Versatile Reprogrammable Software there is no longer the need for downtime for an on site service call for reprogramming!

VERSA FUNCTIONALITY
Just one Visumatic Robotic Driving System with the VERSA program allows for saved drive sequences and drive parameters for 1000 + parts on the same robotic assembly station–unheard of elsewhere in the industry today. Your saved drive configurations can be pulled up automatically as needed for feeding and driving assembly, you can interchange parts without reprogramming, and drive configurations can be tweaked at any time with simple touch screen adjustments by your staff.

The integrated vision system recognizes part presence and qualifies each part with feature qualification, barcode or OCR. Drive results are displayed clearly and simply onscreen showing each drive location with green (pass) or red (fail) lighted indicators. The system seamlessly integrates 3rd party vision and torque control software. VERSA stores your complete assembly data, and has Ethernet capability to ‘talk’ to your management systems.

The Robotic Fastener includes Visumatic’s custom feed and drive system that can install screws, nuts, bolts plastic push pins, formed rivets, brazing rings, coils, washers and more.

WHAT PARAMETERS CAN VERSA STORE?
Your staff can now very simply reprogram your robot on their own without a Visumatic service call or without extensive line down time, keeping your assembly process extraordinarily productive and efficient. The software allows you to ‘Teach’ the system the following values for as many parts that you need to assemble, and to recognize multiple fixtures that fit your station.

You can manually input the following for each individual part you are assembling:

Drive locations & drive sequence

Robot travel speed

Torque control parameters

Required pneumatic value & sensor control value

Vision inspection parameters & locations to differentiate parts being assembled

Feeding from multiple screw feeders with different fasteners.

This innovation saves time and offers the cost justification necessary for adding assembly automation, or for upgrading to robotic assembly due to the sheer number of parts that can be assembled with the same robot. There is virtually zero down time between switchovers.

VISUMATIC INNOVATION
Visumatic’s goal is to continue to develop innovative assembly systems, like our new Visumatic Robotic Fastener with VERSA Software and tilt axis, to answer challenges brought to us by our customers. Watch for upcoming Visumatic announcements as we continue to innovate in answer the assembly needs of our clients.

Visumatic Industrial Products is a family owned and operated business located in Lexington, KY. We design and build state of the art automatic screw feeding & driving systems—Handheld, Robotic, Fixed & Machine Builder Systems—offered through a distributor network in the US, Canada, Mexico, and United Kingdom.
