Recommended Use Cases
YASKAWA Industrial Robot Hanger-Box Palletizing Automation
Process Overview This deployment uses a YASKAWA GP180 to palletize boxes of hanger products weighing over 20 kg onto pallets. By replacing manual handling in heavy-payload work, it helps prevent musculoskeletal disorders and enables faster, more consistent palletizing performance. Note: Cost may vary depending on the installation environment, robot brand, and payload requirements.
Sand Blasting Automation for Sputter Carrier Handling using Two Yaskawa Robots
Process Overview This automation solution uses two Yaskawa robots with pneumatic grippers to handle semiconductor sputter carriers and automate the sand blasting process. Due to the long shape and heavy weight of the workpiece, the handling task previously required two operators, and the workplace environment was harsh due to dust generated during the sanding process. By automating the entire workflow from handling to sanding through robotic automation, the solution unmanned the key process and significantly improved the operator working environment.
Aluminum Spot Welding Automation for Automotive Parts using KUKA KR120
Process Overview This welding automation solution uses the KUKA KR120 to perform aluminum spot welding for automotive parts, enabling faster welding operations and multi-angle access through a welding robot system. By applying a high-precision, high-speed industrial robot, the solution supports accurate and stable welding even on complex-shaped parts, securing high productivity and consistent welding quality.
