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. |

Recommended Use Cases
Expanding Form Press Machine Tending using Yaskawa Robots
This machine tending automation solution utilizes YASKAWA robots in conjunction with press machines to automate the loading of workpieces for the expansion of cylindrical metal products, significantly enhancing process safety. Due to the nature of press operationsโcharacterized by extremely short cycle times and high-risk environmentsโindustrial accidents are a frequent concern. By automating the entire sequence from workpiece infeed and discharge to continuous press forming, this solution drastically increases productivity while minimizing the operator's management touchpoints.
Faucet Assembly using Five Doosan M0609 Units
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.
Humanoid Robots in Factories: Is It Really Possible? A Smart Factory Line from Bolt Fastening to Encasing
This solution is an automation system that integrates vision system-based bolt Fastening and quality Inspection with an encasing process utilizing a humanoid.
