This is an automated deburring solution that utilizes the Hyundai Robotics HH020 to finish the machined sections of round bar products.
The project was initiated to boost productivity and enhance quality by reducing the time required for the deburring process. Due to the nature of deburring, precise execution following the product's outer contours is essential. By performing high-precision operations from various angles, the system successfully shortened cycle times and contributed to significant quality improvements.

Recommended Use Cases
Shaft Manufacturing Machine Tending through YASKAWA GP7
This automation solution utilizes the YASKAWA Motoman-GP7 to transfer shaft products that have completed their initial machining phase to the subsequent processing stage. The project was implemented to boost productivity by reducing standby and idle times while enhancing workplace safety by removing workers from high-risk environments. Transferring workpieces between machining stages is a process with a high potential for safety accidents. By automating this transition, the system eliminated hazards and shortened production lead times through continuous operation. With 18 units currently in operation, this project has significantly contributed to reducing fixed costs, such as labor expenses, by decreasing the required workforce by approximately 40 personnel across day and night shifts.
Semiconductor Material Polishing using Doosan M1509
This machine tending solution utilizes the Doosan M1509 collaborative robot to automate the hazardous and physically demanding task of polishing the surfaces of heavy semiconductor materials. The project was initiated to improve operational efficiency by reassigning workers to higher-value tasks and to enhance customer trust through consistent schedule and quality management. Previously, manual polishing caused significant strain on workers' wrists and exposed them to high levels of dust, leading to high turnover and a lack of specialized expertise. This inconsistency in the workforce often resulted in fluctuating product quality. By implementing this automation, the robot performs the entire polishing cycle—including the mandatory replacement of one-time-use polishing pads—ensuring uniform quality while allowing operators to simply load raw materials and collect finished goods.
Casting Operations through ABB IRB 6700 Foundry Plus
This is a machine tending automation solution that utilizes the ABB IRB 6700 Foundry Plus 2 to transport castings and automate the loading and unloading of workpieces. The process involves transferring and handling molten metal at extremely high temperatures—a task that poses significant safety risks and results in slow production speeds when performed manually. By implementing ABB's specialized foundry robot, the facility has successfully secured workplace safety and drastically increased production throughput.
