Heres a small example. In one position the compressor gets scanned and rolls up to the operator.The label needs to be smoothed around the rounded compressor (it has been left standing out at previous stations because the scanners have a hard time catching them otherwise). The scan reads the style of compressor and this lights up parts bins so the operator knows which parts are required. There are two different types of screws and also a ground screw so the robot would need to be fitted with the ability to pick scews and screw them in. They would also need to apply plugs clips inserts, caps, connect wire ends, apply two different kinds of stickers and put a clip on cover that requires finesse to get clipped in all the way without cracking the plastic. Also the the final piece needs to be checked for paint flaws or visual weld defects. All these actions are done by a good operator in under a half a minute. And this is just one station in one part of the assembly line. Sure its possible, but practical or cost effective, not really.
