Foxlink has developed and deployed an AI robotic arm solution across its PCB and FPC assembly lines. The solution has been validated on the pilot production line and builds on Foxlink’s existing high-automation manufacturing base, adding a new level of process flexibility through reinforcement learning.

Line changeovers require only an end-effector swap. The system completes station-specific task training in under one hour, reaching near-100% task success rates — reducing both the cost and downtime typically associated with new product introduction (NPI).

For FPC assembly, the solution addresses the material’s tendency to deform and shift during handling. The system controls placement angle and gripping force with precision, enabling accurate pick-and-place without component damage. Dimensional variation in incoming materials is detected and compensated automatically, eliminating the need for manual adjustment.

The solution also supports dual-arm operation, extending its applicability across a range of production scenarios. Built-in continuous learning allows the system to improve with each production cycle, providing a scalable foundation for deployment across product lines and global facilities.
