Neuromeka / Indy Series / Collaborative Robot / Multi-joint Robot

There is a company that is incredibly hot in the robot industry these days.🔥 It’s Neuromeka. Known as a collaborative robot (cobot) specialist, Neuromeka was founded in 2013 and has shown strong growth, averaging about 60% annually over the past 10 years. With its headquarters in Seoul, branches in Daejeon and Pohang, and subsidiaries in Vietnam and China, Neuromeka achieved a successful milestone by listing on the KOSDAQ in November 2022.

Today, we are going to look into Neuromeka's hot collaborative robot, the Indy series, which is also available in the Marosol Store, with Marosol robot expert Brian.😉

Q. Hello, Brian! Did you hear the news about Neuromeka's listing?

A. Of course. Neuromeka is a reliable partner of Marosol. Having led the automation of the food and beverage (F&B) sector using cobots during the COVID-19 era and currently supplying smart cooking solutions, Neuromeka's listing is a natural result.

Q. I heard that various Neuromeka collaborative robots and peripherals are available in our Marosol Store.

A. Yes, that's right. The Marosol Store features Neuromeka's smart actuators, robot controllers, and collaborative robots. Today, we're going to dive deeper into Neuromeka's flagship product, the Indy series. I'll also show you how to make a smart purchase at Marosol. Are you ready, Pengbok?

Q. I’m ready.😎 You mentioned the Indy series is Neuromeka's flagship product. Is there a reason for that?

A. First of all, Indy is Neuromeka's representative collaborative robot. It is designed and manufactured directly by Neuromeka. Based on an innovative collision detection algorithm that ensures worker safety, Indy supports more intuitive direct teaching through impedance control. Online and offline programming is also possible through the Conty app, which is based on an Android tablet.

 *Impedance Control: Using force or torque sensors to control a robot that is close to a rigid body as we want A method of controlling to have a spring (Kd), damping (Bd), and mass (Md).

Q. It has great advantages in terms of safety and usability. You mentioned the "series"—there must be several types.

A. Neuromeka has expanded its cobot lineup to a payload of 12kg based on the capabilities accumulated in the market. As a result, the Indy series consists of five models based on payload: Indy3, 5, 7, 10, and 12 (3kg, 5kg, 7kg, 10kg, and 12kg respectively), as well as the Indy-RP2, a 7-degree-of-freedom cobot for research. These models are introduced across various industries depending on the weight they can lift.

Q. You mentioned various industries. Could you give us some examples?

A. They are primarily introduced in processes that are dangerous or physically demanding for humans, ranging from food to manufacturing. First, let's look at cases in noodle and frying processes.

In the video, you can see the Neuromeka Indy7 performing tasks such as noodle cooking, topping (frying), and broth preparation for dishes like Udon. By introducing the Indy7, it was possible to produce 20 servings per hour while ensuring consistent taste and quality. Additionally, sales increased due to marketing and promotional effects.

The owner who introduced the Indy7 mentioned that it solved labor shortage issues and helped prevent musculoskeletal disorders by removing workers from repetitive and harsh environments. Now, the Indy7 has become an indispensable presence in the store.😀

The video above shows a case where the Neuromeka Indy7 was introduced into the press work of a manufacturing process. After introduction, it was possible to improve errors occurring during material supply and increase efficiency.

Through the interaction between the complex press work and the 6-axis Indy7, a flexible system for material supply between processes was established. This realized uniformity in product quality and improved production efficiency.👍

The introducing company gave positive feedback, stating that the ratio of actual production to capacity increased, making it possible to optimize the average equipment utilization rate.

Q. It’s being introduced very widely, from food to press processes! What is the secret to the Indy series' popularity?

A. Neuromeka's cobots are built on three core values, which seem to have captured consumers' hearts: EASY, SAFE, and CONNECTED.

• EASY: Easy to install and use.

• SAFE: Safe to work alongside humans.

• CONNECTED: Connectable anytime, anywhere.

These core values served as the foundation for the Indy series' expansion into a wide range of businesses.

Q. So, clear core values improved the quality. What are the benefits of purchasing the Neuromeka Indy series through Marosol?

A. Marosol has extensive experience and references for introducing the Indy series across various industrial fields. Therefore, if you inquire with a Marosol robot consultant, you can confirm which specific Indy model perfectly fits your environment. Marosol is available for consultation 24 hours a day, so you can talk to us at your convenience.😎
