The RS080N then releases the feature and rotates the arm to retrieve the correct rivets out of four possible lengths, and at one of two specic pitches, from the rivet slide tooling. While the RS080N is retrieving the rivets, the RS010L robot picks up a nutplate, and uses vision cameras to verify that it is the correct nutplate out of 28 possible types. From here, the robot places the rivet on the nutplate locating tool. Cameras perform a vision check before placing the nutplate on the tooling to ensure it is clear to receive a new nutplate. The robot then places the nutplate on a turntable so the RS005N robot can apply sealant, which is a customer requirement to ensure corrosion resistance. The RS005N robot conducts two vision checks at this point in the process: one before t
