Process layout

Process Overview

This transfer automation solution uses two Yaskawa robots and vacuum grippers to perform gate cutting on automotive bumper injection molded parts and transfer them to a conveyor tray.

The system accurately picks curved and flexible bumper parts, performs gate cutting, and applies conveyor tracking technology to load parts onto continuously moving conveyor trays.

By enabling continuous operation without stoppage or idle time, the solution maintains high productivity throughout the process.

Components

Robot
  • Yaskawa GP225 x 2 units

  • 6-axis articulated robot

  • Payload: 225 kg

  • Working range: 2,702 mm

  • Weight: 1,080 kg

  • Repeatability: ±0.2 mm

Peripherals
  • Tool: vacuum gripper for gate cutting x 2 stages

  • Tool: vacuum gripper for tray transfer x 1 stage

  • Peripheral devices: robot mounting base x 2 units

Workflow

STEP 1.Pick two molded parts from the injection machine and perform gate cutting
STEP 2.Load the molded parts onto the belt conveyor
STEP 3.Move and fix at the end of the conveyor
STEP 4.Pick the workpiece
STEP 5.Apply sticker labeling
STEP 6.Wait for tray conveyor position
STEP 7.Load onto the tray conveyor synchronized with conveyor speed

Features

  • Enables optimized system design tailored to the process

  • Ensures precise cutting and transfer operations for complex-shaped and flexible materials

  • Designs and manufactures vacuum grippers optimized for automotive bumper geometry

  • Enables optimized tool design and manufacturing based on process conditions and performance requirements

  • Enables continuous operation without stoppage or idle time using conveyor tracking technology, maintaining high productivity

  • Minimizes management points by performing additional processes such as sticker labeling within the same workflow

  • Minimizes failure rates through pre-validation

  • Enables pre-validation of interference and operational performance through offline simulation
