Recommended Solution
Automotive Rubber Packing Assembly Automation with a Cartesian Robot and EPSON C4
Process Overview This solution assembles rubber packings onto automotive electronic components using an Epson C4 robot. By combining a cartesian robot and an industrial robot to correct the picking orientation, rubber packing assembly can be performed quickly and consistently.
Automotive Hood Polishing with UR10 and OnRobot Sander
Process Overview This application performs uniform polishing on the 3D surface of an automotive hood by utilizing a Universal Robots UR10, an OnRobot HEX force/torque sensor, and an OnRobot Sander. With the combination of the OnRobot force/torque sensor and the sander, polishing can be performed while applying consistent force to match 3D curved surfaces.
Differential Case Machining Support using FANUC Robot for Doosan Turning Center
Process Overview This solution uses the FANUC M-20iA/35M robot installed on an upper linear track mounted above Doosan turning machines (TW2600M) to machine differential cases for automotive applications. By installing the robot together with a linear track on top of the machine tool, the system enables efficient floor space utilization and automates continuous processes in a single integrated workflow, significantly improving automation efficiency. Since the front side of the machine tool remains open, smooth access is available for tool change and machine maintenance operations. In addition, it helps prevent musculoskeletal disorders for operators by automating the loading and unloading of heavy machined parts.
