Abstract:
A system and a method for assembling a flexible ring-shaped workpiece(300) to a device(500), the system comprises a robot; an apparatus(200) adapted to be coupled to the robot via a coupling component (201) for operating the workpiece or a part of the device; and a shaping plate(106) adapted to receive at least a part of the workpiece which is moved by the apparatus to shape the workpiece into a predetermined shape, wherein the apparatus comprises a first gripper(202) adapted to be operated by the robot to grip the workpiece already shaped into the predetermined shape to allow the workpiece to be coupled to the device. In this way, the flexible ring-shaped workpiece can be assembled faster and more accurately. Furthermore, the apparatus enables the flexible ring-shaped workpiece to be assembled in a robotized assembly line.
