Process Overview
Philliper had been handling the process of inserting nuts into the machine tool manually. Due to the repetitive nature of the work and insufficient precision, this led to reduced productivity and quality issues. To resolve this, they implemented an automation solution using four Hyundai robots and two Doosan robots.
Project Background and Objectives
Background
Philliper was experiencing work inefficiency and inconsistent quality in the existing nut-loading operation due to a manual process.
Key issues
Speed loss and quality variation occurring during manual operations
Increased operator fatigue and reduced productivity
Operator burden caused by repetitive tasks in the nut insertion process
Objectives
Improve production efficiency by automating repetitive tasks through robot deployment
Secure consistent quality and reduce defect rates through accurate insertion
Improve the work environment by reducing operator fatigue and strengthening safety

Workflow
| STEP 1. | Pick nuts from the feeder |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Insert nuts into the product hole inside the machine tool |
| STEP 3. | After receiving the machine-complete signal, unload the product |
| STEP 4. | Load the product onto the conveyor |
| STEP 5. | Repeat the same sequence with alternating operation. |

Recommended Use Cases
Silicone Molded Part Palletizing using AIM AIVE System and Delta SCARA Robot
Silicone Molded Part Palletizing using AIM AIVE System and Delta SCARA Robot
AI Palletizing using Hyundai YS140 and Mech-Mind
This automation solution utilizes Mech-Mind 3D Vision and the Hyundai YS140 industrial robot to automatically sort and stack boxes onto pallets by size, as well as transfer them to conveyors. By employing two sets of highly cost-effective 3D vision sensors, the system can stably perform both palletizing and depalletizing tasks even when various product boxes are mixed together (Mixed-Case Palletizing). The project was implemented to improve worker health and safety by automating tasks known to cause musculoskeletal disorders.
Defect Inspection of Cutting Tools using Doosan Cobots and Keyence Equipment
This vision inspection solution utilizes the Doosan M0609 collaborative robot and the Keyence Image Dimension Measurement System (IM Series) to automate the dimensional inspection and defect sorting of cutting tools. Previously, operators had to manually measure each part and perform visual inspections, which often led to human error in sorting and required a high amount of labor for simple, repetitive tasks. By implementing robot automation, inspections are now performed continuously without idle time. This has increased the precision of defect detection, simultaneously improving both productivity and product quality.
