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.

Battery Palletizing Automation: Safely Stack Batteries Weighing Over 60kg With the YASKAWA GP225 💪
This solution automates the repalletizing process for Atlas batteries produced by Hankook & Company for export. Due to the diverse import pallet specifications, customer-specific palletizing patterns, and product types, the total number of possible scenarios exceeds 200. The goal is to standardize these scenarios and ensure line stability by supporting a throughput of 10 pallets per minute for medium-sized batteries and 6 pallets per minute for large-sized batteries. [Pallet Feeder & Pallet Conveyor] This solution allows for the use of up to five different pallet types per country, ensuring a smooth 10-stack logistics cycle. Destacked pallets are transported to the battery palletizing position and aligned simultaneously. Completed pallets are transported to the discharge position. [Battery Sorter] Batteries fed inline are automatically sorted into 1st, 2nd (series/parallel), and 3rd layers according to the preset palletizing pattern. The robot then discharges the batteries, repeating the initialization process. [Robot Palletizer] Once aligned, the batteries are picked and placed at the palletizing position on the conveyor, repeating the pick-and-place process according to the specified location and number of layers. Honeycomb feeds are automatically inserted into each layer according to the settings. [Honeycomb Feeder & Sorter] Automatically sorts and inserts honeycombs into each layer of NO-BOX batteries.
Yuhan-Kimberly's Choice! Fully Automated Depalletizing and String Cutting 📦
Process Overview This implementation case, implemented at Yuhan-Kimberly's Chungju factory , combines a Yaskawa industrial robot with a string cutting workstation to achieve automated depalletizing and string cutting. The client introduced the depalletizing system to reduce labor costs and work fatigue, and expressed strong interest in automating rope cutting and discharge to maximize cost savings and efficiency. This solution sorts and cuts boxes of various sizes before feeding them to the case packer, improving the efficiency of the box feeding and rope cutting processes, while also reducing the physical burden on workers and ensuring safety. Project Background and Objectives At Yuhan-Kimberly's Chungju factory , the process of dismantling palletized boxes and loading them into case packers individually was entirely manual. This process was highly repetitive and presented a constant risk of safety accidents due to the use of knives during the removal of the twine. The goal of this project was to automate the entire process, from depalletizing to loading into the case packer, minimizing human dependence. Furthermore, by unmanning the twine cutting process, we aimed to ensure worker safety, reduce fatigue and on-site personnel burden, and ensure stable plant operations.
Automated Workpiece Loading & Unloading System for Automotive Parts Machining Lines
Process Overview This solution enables automatic loading of workpieces into machining equipment, including irregular, non-standard workpieces generated from hot forging, by using a specially designed gripping tool in the automotive parts machining load/unload process. Developed through the company's in-house R&D, this automation system uses a custom-made gripper to automatically load hot-forged workpieces, even those with inconsistent shapes, into the machining area.
