This automation solution utilizes the Hyundai Robotics HS220 to automate the high-risk task of bending heavy steel plates into complex shapes.
Due to the weight and large dimensions of these products, manual operation is physically demanding and significantly hinders production efficiency. This project was initiated to boost productivity through heavy-load automation and to ensure workplace safety by removing workers from hazardous zones. Because the robot maintains its grip on the steel plate during the entire bending process, cycle times are shortened, ensuring high output and consistent quality.

Recommended Use Cases
Outdoor Logistics Transport using VisionNav VNPA15 & VNQ40
This application case features an automated logistics solution that uses VisionNav's VNQ40 autonomous towing tractor to transport loaded products between factory buildings. Powered by advanced autonomous driving technology, this system performs inter-plant transfers with strict safety protocols, enabling real-time detection and avoidance of external obstacles or automatic emergency stops to ensure a secure operating environment.
Machining Center Tending using Neuromeka Indy7
This machine tending automation solution utilizes the Neuromeka Indy7 collaborative robot (cobot) to automate the manual process of handling graphite electrodes in a machining center (MCT). By integrating pre-process data entry, real-time monitoring, and actual measurement tasks, the system ensures high-precision machining. Workers are now only responsible for loading raw materials into the feeding section, while the robot handles the actual machining operations. This shift allows a single operator to manage and operate multiple machines simultaneously, significantly boosting both production efficiency and quality. Furthermore, by leveraging Gun Solution's specialized integration, the robot can perform tasks in the same manner as a human operator even on older legacy machine tools. This eliminates the need for expensive hardware interfaces, resulting in substantial cost savings.
Modular Assembly Line using UR5e & Vention Range Extender
This solution features a modular assembly line developed using Vention's modular workstations, designed for easy integration into existing production processes and flexible reconfiguration. The system allows for the seamless rearrangement of peripheral workstations around a central assembly hub. By combining Vention's belt-actuator-driven Range Extender with a collaborative robot, the line successfully automates part picking and assembly, utilizing a circulating pallet system for efficient material infeed and outfeed.
