This application automates injection handling using a KUKA KR10. It is an automation project that feeds and unloads two types of pipe products into/from a process line. The job requires placement to a specific position with repeatability within 0.1 mm. The system uses a vision-based alignment station for supply handling and improves process stability through precision operations.
Project Background and Objectives
Automate feeding and unloading for two pipe product types
Achieve high-precision placement (≤0.1 mm repeatability requirement)
Stabilize the process using a camera-based alignment fixture and precision handling

Workflow
| STEP 1. | Feed products from the supply unit |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Align the position using the camera |
| STEP 3. | Place products on the alignment fixture (2 pcs × 2 cycles) |
| STEP 4. | Pick four products simultaneously with the robot and load them into the mold |

Recommended Use Cases
YASKAWA Industrial Robot Hanger-Box Palletizing Automation
Process Overview This deployment uses a YASKAWA GP180 to palletize boxes of hanger products weighing over 20 kg onto pallets. By replacing manual handling in heavy-payload work, it helps prevent musculoskeletal disorders and enables faster, more consistent palletizing performance. Note: Cost may vary depending on the installation environment, robot brand, and payload requirements.
Nut-Insert Injection Molding and Inspection using a Yushin Take-Out Robot
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.
Gear Tooth Profile Inspection Using DENSO + QRS Vision
Process Overview This solution is an automated sorting system that combines QRS 2D/3D vision inspection with a DENSO VS robot to pick randomly placed gears, inspect gear tooth geometry, and separate OK parts from NG parts. With QRS's in-house vision technology, the system can be tuned and customized to match specific site conditions, enabling precise inspection across various gear shapes and models. This project was implemented to automate the inspection process after bin picking.
