In this video, we show how to use a robot to dispense into connectors. The cabling with the connectors is deposited in a nest—the one shown holds four connectors at a time—and the nest is placed on the dispensing robot. A grease cartridge is set in a pressurized container. The grease flows down through hosing to a spool valve, which is precisely controlled by the robot to do the dispensing via the selected program. The robot moves into position and dispenses material into the connector.
With two nests, the robot can take care of one batch of connectors while the operator prepares the next batch. To load a nest, simply move the connector into place, slide down, and put it in.
