Engine Block Part Transfer Automation using Kawasaki BT200L and Linear Track

Application Field
Industry > Automotive, Application > Loading·Unloading, Sector > Manufacturing

Process layout

Process Overview

This loading/unloading automation solution uses the Kawasaki BT200L and a gantry linear module to automate the transfer of heavy engine blocks between process stations.

By automatically transferring heavy engine blocks weighing over hundreds of kilograms according to the process sequence, the solution reduces logistics transfer time compared to manual handling and significantly lowers the risk of safety accidents caused by heavy-load operations.

*The estimated budget includes only the system cost excluding the robot, and turnkey project execution is also available as a full system package including the robot.

Components

Robot
  • Kawasaki BT200L (separate configuration)

  • 6-axis articulated robot

  • Payload: 200 kg

  • Working range: 3,151 mm

  • Weight: 1,100 kg

  • Repeatability: ±0.08 mm

Peripherals
  • SP Systems heavy-duty track motion (linear module)

  • Engine block infeed jig

  • Engine block outfeed jig

  • Tool: pneumatic gripper

Workflow

STEP 1.Pick from the infeed jig
STEP 2.Move to the outfeed position
STEP 3.Place onto the outfeed jig

Features

Improved Productivity and Operational Efficiency

  • Minimizes (loading/unloading) cycle time by using a high-speed heavy-payload industrial robot and gantry linear module

  • Reduces idle time and waiting time through continuous robotic operation

  • Prevents ergonomic injuries caused by heavy-load handling and reduces the risk of safety accidents due to heavy object drops

Results

Key Benefits
Minimization of loading labor Improved productivity by reducing idle waiting time
Client Feedback
Due to the heavy weight of the workpieces, transfer operations required a relatively long time and the previous work route was inefficient. With SP Systems’ solution, we were able to shorten handling time and improve the overall material flow efficiency

Parts Machine Tending Automation using ABB IRB 2600

Parts Machine Tending Automation using ABB IRB 2600

Process Overview This machine tending automation solution uses the ABB IRB 2600 robot with Hyundai WIA Turning Center 160LA to automate the process of loading and unloading automotive parts. The system completes the first machining process using two turning centers, then transfers the semi-finished parts to the other turning center for the second machining process, and finally moves them to the discharge conveyor. This configuration is designed to minimize idle time by matching the work cycle time and maximizing productivity. The solution was implemented to increase productivity through 24/7 operation, reduce the required loading labor, and minimize idle waiting time between processes.
