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 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.
