This application is a solution that automates bolt fastening using two Hanwha Momentum HCR-12A collaborative robots.

Bolt fastening often leads to task failure even if the position is slightly off, and products can be damaged or misassembled if not assembled with appropriate force. The high positioning precision of the HCR-12A minimizes errors and allows for the task to be performed.

Components

Robot	Robot HCR-12A: 6-axis articulated robot, payload 12kg, maximum reach 1,300mm, weight 52kg, repeatability: ± 0.07 mm; Tool: Automatic feed bolt fastener

Workflow

STEP 1.	STEP 1. The jig with the workpiece moves to the assembly position via conveyor
STEP 2.	Confirm the work position using inspection lighting
STEP 3.	Perform bolt fastening task
STEP 4.	Repeat the previous process

Why Did Luminous Robotics Entrust Solar Panel Installation to a Mobile Manipulator (Mobile robot arm) for Automation?

Gemini의 응답 Project Overview This solution, applied to a large-scale solar power plant construction site in Australia, is an automation system for installation based on a Mobile Manipulator, centered around 'LUMI', an autonomous mobile robot developed by Luminous Robotics. The site presented challenging conditions for human workers, including high temperatures, strong winds, and rough terrain. Consequently, there has been a rising demand for Construction Automation due to labor shortages and increasing labor costs. LUMI is a mobile robot arm designed to install heavy solar panels quickly and accurately, featuring an integrated structure of autonomous driving capabilities, a robot arm, and high-precision sensors. Notably, it is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing labor-centered installation methods, enabling a transition to site automation without requiring separate infrastructure changes. Project Background & Objectives Background While Australia has an environment favorable for creating large-scale solar power complexes due to abundant solar radiation, the nature of remote areas—where securing construction labor is difficult—has led to continuous issues with slow installation speeds and rising costs. In particular, with panels weighing over 36kg, repetitive installation tasks under hot and humid conditions increased the risk of worker injury and led to decreased productivity. Objectives Improve solar panel installation speed and reduce labor costs Ensure consistency in installation quality Secure operational safety in extreme environments Establish a foundation for large-scale automation to expand Renewable Energy infrastructure

ARC Welding using the Rainbow Robotics RB-5

Process Overview This welding automation solution uses the Rainbow Robotics RB-5 and a NOUBELON DIGITAL MIG/MAG welder to weld cylindrical workpieces onto a plate, featuring fast teaching and high space efficiency. In manual welding, quality can vary significantly depending on operator skill, and the harsh working environment makes it difficult to secure experienced welders. With this cell, even non-expert operators can simply load and unload parts, while the robot performs the critical welding process—enabling consistent weld quality and stable production output.
