Home Applications Drilling

Background

Drilling is common in metalworking, 3C, furniture, and other industries. It requires accurate, consistent hole placement, while manual drilling can drift, fatigue operators, and create repetitive strain in long-term production.

Industry Pain Points

Precision, Fatigue, and Flexibility

Manual drilling can shift hole positions and affect assembly or quality.
Repetitive drilling is monotonous, strain-prone, and hard to staff.
Multi-variety, small-batch production needs flexible changeover beyond fixed equipment.

Why UFACTORY Cobots

Cost and ROI 01

Cost and ROI

Competitive UFACTORY hardware cost helps small and midsize manufacturers and integrators reduce procurement and integration cost and shorten payback.

Plug-and-Play Setup 02

Plug-and-Play Setup

The ISO flange and standard I/O make drilling end-effector installation easier and reduce deployment and commissioning time.

Open Development 03

Open Development

ROS/ROS2 packages and Python/C++ SDKs support process-specific drilling development and secondary integration for varied production lines.

Process Consistency 04

Process Consistency

±0.02 mm repeatability helps locate each hole accurately, keeping drilling quality consistent and reducing scrap.

Precise Force Control 05

Precise Force Control

With a six-axis force/torque sensor, the robot can sense contact force and apply more controlled feed force during drilling.

Vision Integration 06

Vision Integration

The UFACTORY 850 connects to 2D/3D vision for workpiece and hole localization on flexible lines with position variation.

Labor Value Release 07

Labor Value Release

Robots reduce repetitive drilling work, occupational strain, staffing limits, and capacity bottlenecks.

Flexible Changeover 08

Flexible Changeover

Lightweight construction and simple programming support fast transfer between stations and adaptation to varied drilling tasks.
