Case with
Amphenol Phoenix

Nordbo Robotics’ basic polishing software increases quality ratio with 50% by optimizing polishing processes.

What Challenges
did the customer face?

Amphenol Pheonix was in need of a solution to optimize both their rough and fine polishing processes of  stainless-steel parts as they were offered to produce the Microsoft Surface Duo hinge.

This gave them the following challenges:

How did Nordbo Robotics
address these challenges?

To solve these challenges Nordbo Robotics re-used the basis of the advanced polishing software and added a new “Teach Method” called Point to Point (P2P), enabling Amphenol Pheonix to create robot paths by teaching waypoint with the teach pendant of the robot and generate a new program within minutes. This provided the needed flexibility and enabled them to use the same systems on other projects, given them a great advantage on competitiveness.

The robot precision and repeatability together with Nordbo Robotics polishing software and precise force control ensured consistent polishing quality and gave Amphenol the following results:
