Tool today I’m going to propose a redesign for is a series of tools  used for cleaning and preparation of a surface for treating with plasma  prior to bonding.

Currently the process at my  facility is to treat by hand with plasma around a complex multi-pin  adaptor. The plasma station cannot “bath” the area as it must get around  the shoulders of these pins. Furthermore, to ensure proper treatment  and cleansing of the area, distilled water is applied as a “break” test  to see if the surface is properly treated or not. After treatment an  bonding agent is applied to secure the pins in place and a UV wand is  utilized to cure the agent. This is all done by hand. 

The  proposed tool redesign will be replacing the operator with a 5-a is  Cobot robot fitted with a rotary stage at the head for a multi tool  application. 

The robot will be machined in  such a way that the outside shall conform to the drawings below, the  inner fittings will be designed after servo motors and actuators are  selected. 

This will effectively reduce touch  time by a factor of 15-25 minutes of touch labor by enabling the robot  to perform ergonomically straining tasks by eliminating repetitive  motion.
