Process Overview
This assembly automation solution uses a YUSHIN take-out robot (SCⅡ 150) to perform insert molding, placing a nut into the mold and overmolding it with plastic, followed by automated inspection. By automating both the insert-loading operation and the downstream inspection process, the system minimizes quality-control touchpoints while improving overall productivity.
Components
| Robot | Injection molding take-out robot YUSHIN SCⅡ-150D (for insert loading) 5-axis Cartesian robot + 90° tilting arm Payload: 5 kg Repeatability: ±0.1 mm Stroke (robot specs): Travel 1,500 mm / Vertical 850 mm / Fore–aft 468 mm End-of-arm tooling (EOAT) / Tools Pneumatic grippers: 8 units (Insert loading 4 / Part take-out 4) 3-axis Cartesian robot for vision inspection (including a rotary tool Pneumatic grippers: 3 units (Vision inspection 1 / Orientation-change jig loading 2) |
|---|---|
| Peripherals | Insert injection molding equipment (optional / separate) Bowl feeder (BOWL FEEDER) Nut loading cylinder Finished-part transfer unit (post-insert) Insert orientation-change jig Vision inspection system |
Workflow
| STEP 1. | Feed and singulate nut blanks via the bowl feeder |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Pick four nut blanks |
| STEP 3. | Load them into the insert-molding station |
| STEP 4. | Take out the insert-molded parts and load them onto the finished-part transfer unit |
| STEP 5. | Move the parts to the orientation-change jig |
| STEP 6. | Pick parts one-by-one for vision inspection |
| STEP 7. | Sort and discharge into trays based on inspection results |

Steel Plate Press Assistance using Dual Yaskawa Robots
This automation solution utilizes two YASKAWA robots to assist in steel plate press operations. By automating the machine tending process, the system secures high operational stability and safety. Due to the nature of press processes—characterized by extremely short cycle times and high-risk environments—industrial accidents involving human operators are frequent. In this specific solution, the robots hold the workpieces during the pressing operation itself. By having two robots perform continuous, synchronized cross-work, the cycle time is minimized to just 2 seconds per unit, maximizing overall productivity.
