Recommended Use Cases

Palletizing Boxes using Comau PAL-180-3.1

This application is a solution that uses the Comau PAL-180-3.1 to palletize heavy beverage boxes. When humans repeatedly move large and heavy objects, it places a significant strain on the musculoskeletal system and cannot be sustained for long periods. On the other hand, large articulated robots are suitable for moving large and heavy objects as they can quickly move and stack items in desired positions.

Food Box Packaging using High-Speed Linear Moving Track (Rockwell iTRAK)

This solution is a packaging demonstration process designed to enhance high-speed logistics transfer and packaging productivity by integrating a high-speed linear moving solution (Rockwell iTRAK) with a customized robot system. The system showcases the seamless synchronization between intelligent track technology and robotic handling to optimize modern packaging lines.

Arc Welding of Electrical Wiring Ducts using Two YASKAWA AR1440 Robots

This application case features two YASKAWA AR1440 robots specifically designed for arc welding electrical wiring ducts. By utilizing two welding robots in coordination with a rotating turntable (positioner), the system rapidly performs precise welding at all required joint locations, ensuring high-speed production and structural integrity.
