Workflow
| STEP 1. | Infeed: Raw mask fabric is fed into the system. |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Cutting: The fabric is precisely cut to the required mask dimensions. |
| STEP 3. | Transfer: Cut pieces are moved to the next stage via a conveyor belt. |
| STEP 4. | Sewing: The FANUC SCARA robot performs high-speed sewing/assembly. |
| STEP 5. | Outfeed: Finished masks are discharged onto the exit conveyor. |
Features
Rapid Design and Installation
Unmatched Speed: The entire process—from designing the safety enclosure to final installation—was completed in just 5 days (1 day for design, 4 days for installation).
Agile Response: Optimized for high-priority production contracts that require immediate infrastructure scaling.
User-Friendly Design
Single-Operator Management: The robotic cell is engineered so that one worker can easily oversee both production and system management.
Easy Maintenance Access: Equipped with Safety Interlock Switches, allowing quick and secure access to the machine whenever maintenance or adjustments are needed.
Enhanced Workplace Safety and Hygiene
High-Speed Protection: Completely isolates workers from the high-speed movements of the FANUC SCARA robot, preventing accidents.
Cleanroom Compatibility: Constructed with materials and layouts that meet strict hygiene standards required for medical-grade mask production.

Recommended Solution
Handling Corrugated Cardboard Boxes using UR10 and OnRobot HEX Sensor
This application case demonstrates a process for handling and stacking corrugated cardboard boxes on pallets using the Universal Robots UR10 and the OnRobot HEX force/torque sensor. By utilizing the HEX sensor to sense the exact position of the cardboard boxes, the robot can move accurately to pick and transfer the bundles. This eliminates the need for additional alignment jigs or vision solutions.
Copper Plating Plate Transfer Solution using KAWASAKI RS020N
This solution utilizes the KAWASAKI RS020N robot to safely transfer copper-plated plates, which are highly susceptible to surface damage. By automating the transfer of finished copper foil products to the post-processing stage, this system ensures product integrity and operational consistency. It includes a specialized thickness detection step to identify contaminants or overlapping sheets, preventing downstream equipment damage and quality issues.
3-Axis Drilling CNC using Vention Motion Control
This solution features a 3-axis drilling machine powered by Vention's high-performance motors and MachineMotion controllers. By replacing manual processes characterized by long cycle times, inconsistent results, and frequent human errors, this system integrates a Vention tool-changing system and a high-speed spindle. This transition has successfully increased production speed and significantly enhanced the quality of the finished workpieces. The equipment is highly modular, allowing for fully customized machine builds tailored to specific customer requirements and material dimensions.
