Abstract
Methods and systems for insertion mounting workpieces are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes acquiring a position of the second fitting part of the receiving component, moving the first fitting part of the workpiece towards the second fitting part of the receiving component until the workpiece is in contact with the receiving component, and rotating the workpiece while pressing the workpiece towards the receiving component. The implementation of the present disclosure may be applied for various types of workpieces and receiving components and may overcome minor deviations of positions between the workpiece and the receiving component during the insertion operation, thereby improving the efficiency of the insertion operation.
