The Rizon 4: This Robot Steams Car Seats

June 19, 2024 By Nadeem Muaddi

The Hog Ring - This Robot Steams Car Seats

Flexiv, a global leader in robotics solutions, has developed an automated steam ironing system for factories that manufacture car seats.

The Rizon 4 features a custom arm bracket for mounting a standard high-pressure steam iron, and uses advanced force control capacity to mimic the movement and pressure that upholstery pros use to remove wrinkles and ensure correct material placement. According to AZO Robotics, the robot easily adapts to the various shapes and contours of vehicle seats, applying consistent and precise pressure where it’s needed.

“The launch of our automated ironing system is a breakthrough in manufacturing technology and the ideal application for an adaptive robot due to the necessity of highly precise force control. Excessive pressure or prolonged ironing on one area could damage the leather, but our system prevents this,” said Shuyun Chung, Flexiv’s chief robotics scientist. “This innovation not only elevates the quality and efficiency of car seat production but also improves workplace safety.”

That’s not all, Flexiv is currently developing a version of Rizon 4 with AI visual detection for quality assurance and monitoring purposes.

The automated steam ironing system is currently only for automotive manufacturers — but Chung says that could one day change.

“We’re committed to meeting the needs of every industry and providing them with innovative, efficient, and safe solutions. Who knows, maybe one day we’ll see this same ironing technology being used in hospitality settings or even within the home,” he said.

Pretty cool, right? Watch the video below to see the Rizon 4 in action.
