Recommended Use Cases
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.
Order Picking using Yaskawa and Mech-Mind
This logistics automation solution utilizes Mech-Mind 3D Vision and the Yaskawa GP8 robot to automate the order picking of various unstructured objects. By leveraging a highly cost-effective 3D vision system that recognizes both the position and shape of products, the system can perform picking tasks without additional manual teaching—even when new products are added or existing ones are changed. The project was specifically designed to automate the picking of irregular items in logistics center picking zones.
Reel Tape Packaging using AIM FlexiBowl and Epson SCARA Robots
This automation solution replaces manual reel tape packaging processes by integrating the AIM FlexiBowl (flexible parts feeder) with Epson SCARA robots. AIM helps people focus on higher-value tasks by perfectly solving the simple, repetitive labor often avoided in manufacturing environments. This system addresses labor shortages and boosts manufacturing competitiveness by providing a solution capable of tireless, precise, and infinite repetition through robotic technology.
