FANUC showcased a Southwestern PTS automated rivnut installation cell built around a CRX-10iA/L cobot, smart pull-force verification and operator SKU control through an HMI.
Evidence notes
- The CRX-10iA/L cell automates multiple rivnut installations per part, reducing repetitive manual work.
- A smart installation tool verifies pull force and correct seating for every inserted rivnut.
- Operators select SKUs and manage production flow through the HMI while the cobot installs fasteners.
