Process Overview
This automation solution uses two DENSO robots—VM60B1 (6-axis vertical articulated robot) and HS055 (SCARA robot)—to automate raw material loading, turning-center machining of plastic parts, and a downstream press-fit (crimping) operation. By integrating material loading, machining support, and press-fit handling into a single automated workflow, the system minimizes control points while improving overall productivity.

Recommended Solution
Laser Welding of Round Bars using Yaskawa Robots
This welding automation solution utilizes the YASKAWA GP8 robot to perform high-precision laser welding on round bar products from multiple angles. Previously, an operator had to manually lift each workpiece, load it into the welding machine, and repeat the process for the opposite side once the first side was finished. This manual sequence has been fully automated using the robot. Continuous production is now possible regardless of operator availability. By leveraging the fast and precise YASKAWA GP8, the system achieves both guaranteed quality and enhanced productivity.
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 operations—characterized by extremely short cycle times and high-risk environments—industrial 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.
Sorting and Transferring Medicated Patches using Yaskawa Robots
This automation solution utilizes the YASKAWA MCL20 to sort and transfer medicated patches (pain relief patches) within a cleanroom environment. The system performs precise counting and neat alignment—tasks previously handled by human workers—with human-like dexterity. By simultaneously processing four batches, the system significantly increases operational speed and overall productivity.
