This application automates insert and injection handling using a KUKA KR10. It inserts 8 mm × 35 mm pipe parts into a 4-cavity mold. The system is designed with robot-only control (no separate PLC), including the alignment fixture and runner-cutting unit, so trained operators can manage the system through robot operation training.
Project Background and Objectives
Automate insertion of 8 mm × 35 mm pipe parts into a 4-cavity mold
Simplify system control with a robot-only architecture (no PLC) so operators can manage it through robot training

Recommended Use Cases
ARC Welding using the Rainbow Robotics RB-5
Process Overview This welding automation solution uses the Rainbow Robotics RB-5 and a NOUBELON DIGITAL MIG/MAG welder to weld cylindrical workpieces onto a plate, featuring fast teaching and high space efficiency. In manual welding, quality can vary significantly depending on operator skill, and the harsh working environment makes it difficult to secure experienced welders. With this cell, even non-expert operators can simply load and unload parts, while the robot performs the critical welding process—enabling consistent weld quality and stable production output.
Bumper Gate Cutting and Transfer Automation using Two Yaskawa Robots
Process Overview This transfer automation solution uses two Yaskawa robots and vacuum grippers to perform gate cutting on automotive bumper injection molded parts and transfer them to a conveyor tray. The system accurately picks curved and flexible bumper parts, performs gate cutting, and applies conveyor tracking technology to load parts onto continuously moving conveyor trays. By enabling continuous operation without stoppage or idle time, the solution maintains high productivity throughout the process.
Automotive Body Frame Bin Picking using Hyundai HS210E and Pickit 3D Vision
Process Overview This bin picking automation solution uses Hyundai HS210E and Pickit 3D vision inspection to automate bin picking for automotive body frames. Using a gripper, the robot can pick various product shapes and transfer multiple required parts at once. Even for various product shapes, 3D vision enables accurate recognition and picking, overcoming the limitations of conventional robot automation that only repeated fixed tasks under restricted conditions. With this solution, flexible execution across diverse process conditions is possible.
