This application automates deburring using a KUKA KR16. After receiving a request from a customer site where the existing installed process was no longer usable due to low-quality deburring results, the previously installed robot was repurposed and the end effector was redesigned to match the product’s deburring features. Multiple tool types were deployed by deburring area, and the process quality was improved through programming and commissioning.
Project Background and Objectives

Recommended Use Cases
Nut-Insert Injection Molding and Inspection using a Yushin Take-Out Robot
Process Overview This assembly automation solution uses a YUSHIN take-out robot (SCⅡ 150) to perform insert molding, placing a nut into the mold and overmolding it with plastic, followed by automated inspection. By automating both the insert-loading operation and the downstream inspection process, the system minimizes quality-control touchpoints while improving overall productivity.
Engine Parts Deburring Automation using FANUC Robot
Process Overview This deburring automation solution uses the FANUC M-10iA/12 robot to automate manual deburring operations for engine parts. By applying Youngchang Robotech's solution with a deburring tool that can maintain appropriate force according to input conditions, the system enables precise and consistent deburring quality. Configured as a single automation cell, the solution is easy to install and operate, and it also supports deburring at multiple angles even for complex-shaped parts.
Automotive Body Frame Bin Picking using Hyundai HS210E and Pickit 3D Vision
Process Overview This bin picking automation solution uses Hyundai HS210E and Pickit 3D vision inspection to automate bin picking for automotive body frames. Using a gripper, the robot can pick various product shapes and transfer multiple required parts at once. Even for various product shapes, 3D vision enables accurate recognition and picking, overcoming the limitations of conventional robot automation that only repeated fixed tasks under restricted conditions. With this solution, flexible execution across diverse process conditions is possible.
