Abstract—In this paper the authors followed the conception of a flexible manufacturing cell where robots with parallel acting, articulated arm and transportation systems have been integrated. In this study the behavior of industrial robots as well as the designed mounting solutions are analyzed. The functional role of these manufacturing cells is to achieve electronic components assembly for mobile phones. In order to manipulate the electronic component boxes, the authors conceived a modular effector equipped with vacuum gripping systems. For this assembly application there were selected two parallel acting robots (DELTA type) since their acceleration permits the achievement of working cycles in a minimum period of time. For the proposed structure a transient structural FEM analysis was carried using the ANSYS code.
