#Depalletizing#CaseOpening#UR10#CollaborativeRobot#Ergonomics#PickAndPlace

This application automates Plastic Box Depalletizing & Open using a UR10. In Plastic Box Depalletizing & Open operations, repetitive pick-and-place work can increase the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. The robot takes over these repetitive tasks to help prevent such issues.

Project Background and Objectives

Perform repetitive tasks in place of operators
Prevent musculoskeletal disorders
Improve productivity and output quality

Installation Footprint

3 m × 3 m

Components

Robot	Universal Robots UR10 6-axis articulated collaborative robot Payload: 10 kg Reach: 1,300 mm Weight: 28.9 kg Repeatability: ±0.01 mm IP54
Peripherals	Robot mounting stand YWH-1500i Laser Welding Machine Pneumatic tooling

Workflow

STEP 1.	Plastic box loading
STEP 2.	Capture vision image
STEP 3.	Send box position data to the robot
STEP 4.	Move robot arm and grip the box
STEP 5.	Depalletize with a case-opening machine, open the box, and transfer the box to the conveyor belt

Recommended Use Cases

Machining Support for a WIA Turning Center using Two DENSO Robots ⚙️🏭

Process Overview This automation solution uses two DENSO robots—VM60B1 (6-axis vertical articulated robot) and HS055 (SCARA robot)—to automate raw material loading, turning-center machining of plastic parts, and a downstream press-fit (crimping) operation. By integrating material loading, machining support, and press-fit handling into a single automated workflow, the system minimizes control points while improving overall productivity.

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.

Indoor Logistics Transport and Loading Using VisionNav VNPA15🏗️

Process Overview This case study showcases a logistics automation solution that uses VisionNav's VNPA15 autonomous mobile robot (AMR) to automate the transport and loading/stacking of packaged products in indoor material-handling operations. Built on robust safety functions, the solution minimizes changes to existing workflows while enabling unattended load/unload tasks, and provides effective monitoring and control of real-time operations.
