With strong customization capabilities and strict adherence to European technical standards, the company has served industry leaders including Foxconn, Konka, Hisense, Midea, Samsung, Hitachi Elevator, and BYD, with applications spanning electronics, automotive, home appliances, heavy industry, optoelectronics, aviation, food, and textiles.
Revolutionizing SMT Stencil Cleaning
The Okag SMT Stencil Hybrid Robot represents a breakthrough solution for stencil cleaning in SMT production lines. Combining AGV technology with a robotic arm, the system significantly improves cleaning efficiency, precision, and automation levels.
The hybrid robot offers several key advantages:
- Versatile AGV Chassis: Featuring an omnidirectional steering wheel chassis developed in-house, the robot supports multiple movement modes including forward, backward, lateral, and diagonal movement, enabling flexible operation in confined spaces.
- High-Precision Navigation: Utilizing a SLAM-based multi-modal navigation system that integrates lidar and visual sensors, the robot achieves positioning accuracy of ±5mm.
- Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance: The 3D vision-based system delivers 99.97% accuracy in material delivery while preventing collisions.
- Precision Robotic Arm: Integrated with high-accuracy vision sensors (±0.5mm) and specialized suction grippers, the arm can handle various stencil sizes without damage.
- Seamless Integration: With automatic charging and dynamic obstacle avoidance capabilities, the system meets the high cleanliness and compact layout requirements of SMT environments.
This innovative solution not only enhances stencil cleaning performance but also reduces labor costs and improves production line automation, delivering significant economic benefits for manufacturers. The product demonstrates Okag Robotics' technical innovation capabilities and deep understanding of industrial needs.
Concurrent with the awards ceremony scheduled for April 10, 2026 in Shenzhen, the 15th OFweek China Robotics Industry Conference will bring together industry experts, enterprise representatives, and investors to discuss development trends and future opportunities in robotics.
