Finding the ideal robot for Product Testing with COMPRION
Automated radio chip testing using DOBOT MG400 Robots
COMPRION is a privately-owned German radio communications testing provider. For one of their projects, they had to test a NFC chip… over and over again. The only realistic and cost-effective way to perform the volume of tests required was with automation. Since the movement range was small and the device light, they went on the hunt of an ultra-lightweight industrial robot.
On the Unchained Robotics Marketplace they found the DOBOT MG400 which fit their needs. After arrival a couple of problems pop up in the seemingly simple use case and it was determined that the robots however had to be upgraded in order to better handle it. Unchained Robotics, which prides itself on service and support, quickly organized exactly that with the manufacturer, DOBOT. The new, upgraded robots handled the task flawlessly.

High-cycle testing - A perfect use case for automation
A specialist in testing radio and wireless communication technologies, COMPRION needed to build a test solution for a new Near-Field Communication chip. It had to be placed next to and moved away from a transceiver… again High-cycle testing - A perfect use case for automation and again. Such repetitive, boring actions are perfect for robots.
And when minimal payload and reach are needed, small desktop industrial robots, like the DOBOT MG400, offer an ideal solution at relatively low cost.
Uncommon workpiece requires rapid service and support
After reviewing stats and comparing with similar robots on our Unchained Marketplace, COMPRION decided to go with the DOBOT MG400. Which were quickly shipped and, thanks to the very easy to use programming structure of the DOBOT MG400, were up and running in no time.
Unfortunately, a problem appeared relatively quickly: due to the uncommon weight distribution of the workpiece (center of gravity relatively far away from TCP), the piece was difficult to move without oscillation. After determining the problem and speaking with DOBOT, all of COMPRION’s MG400s were quickly replaced with versions that included a built-in system for oscillation control. Problem solved!
Fast problem solving + hands-on troubleshooting = the perfect solution
Service and support are two crucial pillars of any modern automation company and we take after-sales service extremely seriously. When this small issue came up, we made it a high priority to solve it so that the customer could get back to work. Automation is supposed to make life easier not harder after all. With the upgraded robots on hand, COMPRION was able to automate their testing use case as planned!
We are very happy to have Unchained Robotics as a competent partner that offers and supports a wide range of robot brands.
