Project Overview
This case marks Korea’s first automated solution for modular housing window assembly, combining a KUKA industrial robot, a custom-designed robotic gripper, and a High Payload Track Motion system.
Space Factory introduced this automation system to reduce construction costs and ensure consistent quality in modular housing production.
Background & Objective
Traditionally, skilled workers manually assembled window frames on-site, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Meeting diverse client requirements also demanded a large workforce. In addition, the wide and complex work environment made real-time monitoring and process control difficult.
The goal of this project was to automate the window assembly process to significantly reduce work time, establish a standardized production system for consistent quality, and enhance process management through real-time production monitoring.
Components
| Robot | KUKA KR 210 R3100 Industrial Robot With a maximum payload of 210kg and a working radius of 3,065mm, this robot is optimized for heavy-duty, high-precision operations. |
|---|---|
| Peripherals | These enable precise alignment and movement of wooden materials, automatic assembly of upper and lower window components, and transport of completed frames. |
Workflow
| STEP 1. | Material Input : Wooden materials are accurately aligned and transported using the custom-designed robotic gripper. |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Window Assembly : Based on a modular production system, upper and lower window components are assembled automatically. |
| STEP 3. | Frame Transfer : Completed wooden frames are safely and precisely moved by the robot. |

PCB Flex Cable Insertion using Epson N2 and FT Sensors
This assembly automation solution utilizes the Epson N2 robot and FT (Force-Torque) sensors to automate the highly difficult process of inserting Flex Cables into PCB connectors. It is the optimal solution for performing high-precision assembly tasks while minimizing cycle times within confined workspaces. This project was initiated to automate the Flex Cable insertion process, which previously relied entirely on manual labor.
Smartphone Transfer using TechFloor Mobile Manipulator (M6X)
This transfer automation solution utilizes the TechFloor Mobile X, a high-performance Mobile Manipulator, to pick smartphones from shelving units, load them onto its onboard platform, and transport them to the next process stage. The TechFloor Mobile X can be deployed without extensive infrastructure changes and offers flexible adaptation to layout or workstation modifications. It ensures high productivity through rapid transit and high-precision docking, minimizing common mobile robot issues such as alignment errors. By applying this solution to environments with frequent inter-process part transfers, continuous operation is achieved regardless of shifts, significantly boosting productivity without additional labor costs.
