This application case features an automatic cutting system for packaging film or vinyl used for wrapping construction-related products or large-scale goods prior to transport.
In the conventional cutting process, workers manually mounted large packaging vinyl rolls onto stands and cut them to the required length using scissors. This method posed risks of injury due to repetitive mounting tasks at high elevations and led to potential raw material waste from inaccurate cutting. Additionally, a lack of storage space for the vinyl rolls caused significant inconvenience during continuous operations.
To solve these issues, the system was automated to ensure easy mounting and sufficient storage space. It is designed to cut precisely to the length entered via a touch panel and includes features for storing and retrieving operational data.

Omron AMR Logistics Robot Successfully Automates Raw Material Transport to Boost Operational Efficiency
Project Overview This implementation case features a large-scale circular raw material transport solution utilizing Omron AMR Logistics robots. Previously, raw material transport involved workers manually rolling large circular containers, which created issues with fatigue and efficiency, necessitating an automation solution. This project aimed to automate the movement of raw materials by introducing Omron AMR Logistics robots, thereby reducing worker burden and significantly improving operational efficiency. Project Background & Objectives When raw materials arrived in large containers, the manual transport process by workers involved high labor intensity and the risk of injury. Furthermore, productivity decreased due to time consumption and operational imbalances. The objective of this project is to implement an AMR-based automation solution to resolve these issues and achieve efficient logistics operations.
Automotive Exterior Part Waterjet Cutting Automation using Two Yaskawa Robots
Process Overview This cutting automation solution uses two Yaskawa robots to automate waterjet cutting for automotive exterior parts. This project was carried out to improve operational efficiency and productivity by performing waterjet cutting in various postures. By applying high-precision, high-speed 6-axis robots, cutting can be performed at multiple postures and angles, significantly improving productivity while also minimizing post-processing work.
Automotive Component Assembly Automation using Epson C4 + FT Sensor
Process Overview This assembly automation solution uses an Epson C4 robot and an FT (Force-Torque) sensor to automate the task of inserting and fastening automotive parts with a tight press-fit tolerance. Even when the fit is extremely tight, the system can detect insertion force, locate the correct position, and perform smooth insertion without part damage or jamming. This project was implemented to automate the insertion of fixing pins used in automotive components.
