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.

Features

Improved Productivity and Operational Efficiency

Minimizes cycle time by applying a high-speed, high-precision industrial robot
Enables continuous operation regardless of operator fatigue, increasing overall productivity

Consistent Process Quality

Ensures uniform deburring quality by using a deburring tool with contact force adjustment
Delivers highly repeatable and precise operation through an industrial robot platform

Improved Operator Working Environment

Prevents musculoskeletal disorders caused by repetitive deburring work
Helps prevent respiratory illnesses by reducing airborne foreign particles outside the automation cell

Results

Key Benefits	Reduced cycle time and increased productivity Reduced defect rate Improved working environment
Client Feedback	Deburring heavy workpieces required significant handling time, which increased overall working time. After applying Youngchang Robotech’s solution, we were able to significantly reduce processing time, lower the defect rate, and improve overall product quality.

Recommended Use Cases

Automotive Harness Component Assembly with a Vibratory Feeder and EPSON C4L

Process Overview This solution assembles automotive harness components using a vibratory feeder combined with an Epson C4L robot and a vision system. Bulk-fed parts are separated by the vibratory feeder, and the separated parts are located through vision for picking. By quickly separating, detecting, and picking parts in line with production speed, productivity can be improved.

NACHI MZ07L-based Air-Blowing Automation for Automotive Brake Parts

Process Overview This solution automates the air-blowing process for automotive brake components using a NACHI MZ07L robot, replacing manual operations with a consistent, repeatable robotic process. With conveyor tracking, the robot performs air-blowing during part transfer, reducing cycle time and stabilizing downstream quality.

Lamp Assembly Automation using Yaskawa GP12 and Robostar RPA80-4B

Process Overview This assembly automation solution automates automotive lamp assembly and inspection processes using Yaskawa GP12 and Robostar RPA80-4B robots. By utilizing two Yaskawa (vertical articulated) robots and two Robostar (horizontal articulated, SCARA) robots, the entire process is divided based on takt time, enabling continuous operations to be completed within a short cycle time. In addition, the solution performs inspection processes and QR code labeling after assembly, achieving end-to-end process automation and minimizing defect rates.
