Abstract

Q5D, a UK-based company, has developed the CY1000 robot for automating wire harness manufacturing. The robot reduces the need for manual labor and offers cost efficiency and improved product quality compared to traditional handmade processes. The CY1000 robot uses linear motors and a five-axis platform to deposit wire onto a surface, ensuring fast and accurate wire laying and termination. It has gained significant interest from the automotive sector, which is looking for solutions to supply chain disruptions and rising labor costs. Q5D plans to introduce conductive ink end effectors and expand its manufacturing capabilities to meet growing demand. [Extracted from the article]
