Foxconn factory with ardent zeal trying to seize the opportunity to make smart phones for the company Apple.
Even in mid-summer Foxconn CEO Terry Gou said that in the near future will make every effort to enterprise was ready to take on the lion's share of orders for assembling iPhone. But technological readiness of the plant, alas, still does not meet the standards of Apple: error robots work Foxconn is not satisfied with the company from Cupertino.
With automatic assembly using robots requires their compliance with the standards of admission. Thus, the maximum permissible deviation in the production technology Apple is 0.02 mm. In industrial robots Foxconn, this figure is slightly higher - 0.05 mm.
The reason for non-compliance of robot manipulators to Apple demands is the story of their origin. All set on the Foxconn plant equipment, originally designed for the automotive industry, where the maximum tolerance is much higher. While the administration of the Chinese plant is working on the issue of procurement FoxBot (second generation of industrial robots), the maximum work that can be trusted when assembling Apple devices - manufacturing of cases, major spare parts and tightening the screws.
The cost of a single robot FoxBot is about 20-25 thousand dollars in the near future Foxconn plans to buy about 10 000 units. Moreover, plans to Terry Gou - time to market producers displays for mobile devices. But the most desirable customer for Chinese enterprises is still Apple.
