This assembly automation solution utilizes five Doosan M0609 collaborative robots to fully automate the end-to-end assembly process of faucets.
Previously, this process required a large number of workers to manually assemble each unit. By integrating collaborative robots with a conveyor system, continuous production across the entire process has been achieved.
The transition from a manual line (where 5 workers produced 1,000 units per day) to an automated line (where 2 workers produce 1,200 units per day) has resulted in a significant improvement in productivity.

Recommended Use Cases
Ball Bearing Assembly through Dual NACHI MZ07
This is an automated assembly solution that replaces the manual ball bearing assembly process with two NACHI MZ07 high-speed robots. By implementing an efficient system configuration, the cycle time has been minimized, and productivity has been significantly boosted through 100% inspection and continuous production. The high repeatability of the MZ07 ensures that the delicate components of the ball bearing are integrated with extreme precision.
Plastic Container Production through Hanwha HCR-5
This is an injection molding and assembly automation solution that utilizes three Hanwha HCR-5 collaborative robots to manufacture plastic containers. When a human operator inputs the container components, the cobots take over to combine the parts and perform quality testing. This system eliminates idle time typically caused by manual task switching, thereby maximizing productivity. Furthermore, the integration of 100% automated testing ensures superior product quality and consistency.
Implant 3D Inspection and Bin Picking using Denso COBOTTA
This quality inspection automation solution utilizes the Denso COBOTTA compact collaborative robot and QRS 3D vision to automate the bin picking of dental implants. This system is designed to handle the loading and inspection of implants during the machining process. Even for small and complex workpieces like implants, the QRS 3D vision system enables highly effective picking and sorting operations.
