Abstract: A device includes a first robot configured to move along a common X-axis and parallel to a Y-axis and a Z-axis. A second robot is configured to move along the common X-axis and parallel to the Y-axis and the Z-axis. A motor assembly coupled to the workpiece supply tray is configured to move the workpiece supply tray at least after the first robot has picked the workpiece to reduce a distance travelled by the first robot or second robot when a next workpiece is picked from the moved workpiece supply tray. In another aspect, a device includes a first and second robots configured for movement parallel to a Z-axis and to a Y-axis. A workpiece supply tray is configured to support a supply of workpieces, and a motor assembly coupled to the workpiece supply tray is configured to relocate the workpiece supply tray.

Abstract: A device may comprise a track defining a common X-axis and first and second robots. The first robot may comprise a first X-axis driven element for movement along the track; a first Z-axis driven element, for moving parallel to a Z-axis and along the common X-axis; a first Y-axis driven element, attached to the first Z-axis driven element, for moving parallel to a Y-axis, the Z-axis and along the common X-axis. The second robot may comprise a second X-axis driven element for movement along the track; a second Z-axis driven element, for moving parallel to the Z-axis and along the common X-axis; a second Y-axis driven element, attached to the second Z-axis driven element, for moving parallel to a Y-axis, the Z-axis and along the common X-axis. The first and second robots have first and second end-effectors coupled to the first and second Y-axis drive elements, respectively.

Abstract: Disclosed is a flexure based compliance device for use with an assembly device in an assembly process to assemble a device. The flexure based compliance device comprises: a coupling section configured for coupling to the assembly device; and a pair of double compound rectilinear flexures configured for coupling to the coupling section. The pair of double compound rectilinear flexures provide both axial and translational compliance to the assembly device in the assembly process.
