Process Overview
This assembly automation solution uses a YUSHIN take-out robot (SCⅡ-150) to automate the process of insert-molding a steel plate into a plastic injection-molded part during production. By automating both the insert-loading operation and the downstream inspection process, the system minimizes control points while improving overall productivity.
Components
| Robot | YUSHIN SCII-150D (for insert loading) 5-axis Cartesian robot + 90° tilting arm, payload 5 kg, repeatability ±0.1 mm Work envelope/stroke: Travel 1,500 mm / Fore–aft 468 mm / Vertical 850 mm 3-axis Cartesian unit: Vacuum grippers ×2 |
|---|---|
| Peripherals | EOAT / Tooling - Tool changer (rotary type): tool change via rotation - Pneumatic grippers ×4 (for part take-out) - Vacuum grippers ×4 (for insert loading) Peripheral Equipment - Injection molding equipment (optional / separate) - Bowl feeder (steel plate feeding) - Steel plate loading jig - Finished-product discharge conveyor |
Workflow
| STEP 1. | Singulate and feed two steel plates at a time via the bowl feeder |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Pick two steel plates per cycle and place them into the 8-position loading jig |
| STEP 3. | Pick a set of eight steel plates and transfer them to the injection molding machine |
| STEP 4. | Take out the molded part and load the steel plates |
| STEP 5. | Discharge the finished product via the outfeed conveyor. |
Features
Improved Production Efficiency and Quality
Continuous, low-idle operation improves overall production efficiency.
Fewer control points reduce the number of operators required.
Cost-Effective Performance with a Dedicated Take-Out Robot
A dedicated take-out robot enables a compact installation and overhead handling.
Optimized motion profiles support high-speed cycle operation.
Compared to articulated robots, this tailored solution minimizes upfront investment cost.
Results
| Key Benefits | Improved productivity
Minimized staffing by reducing control/management points
Reduced insert-missing defects |
|---|---|
| Client Feedback | Because the machining cycle time was short, continuous operation was required by deploying Seojeong’s solution, production speed improved significantly. |

Recommended Solution
Smartphone Transfer using TechFloor Mobile Manipulator (M6X)
This transfer automation solution utilizes the TechFloor Mobile X, a high-performance Mobile Manipulator, to pick smartphones from shelving units, load them onto its onboard platform, and transport them to the next process stage. The TechFloor Mobile X can be deployed without extensive infrastructure changes and offers flexible adaptation to layout or workstation modifications. It ensures high productivity through rapid transit and high-precision docking, minimizing common mobile robot issues such as alignment errors. By applying this solution to environments with frequent inter-process part transfers, continuous operation is achieved regardless of shifts, significantly boosting productivity without additional labor costs.
Smartphone Sorting & Stacking using UR5 and Linear Track
This automated sorting and storage solution utilizes a Universal Robots UR5 collaborative robot mounted on a Linear Track (7th axis) to perform high-precision handling of smartphones. By integrating 2D Vision, the system identifies the type and position of items arriving via conveyor. The 6-axis articulated robot then uses an electric gripper to sort and stack these items into specific locations. Conversely, when a retrieval command is received, the robot can pick the required items from the storage rack and move them to the discharge position. The linear track allows the robot to cover a significantly wider workspace, making it ideal for comprehensive inbound/outbound inventory management.
TIG Welding using the Rainbow Robotics RB3
This welding automation solution utilizes the Rainbow Robotics RB-3 collaborative robot combined with a TIG welder to weld the bended sections of metal plates. It is characterized by fast teaching capabilities and high space efficiency. In manual welding, quality varies significantly based on the operator's skill level. Additionally, due to the harsh working conditions, securing skilled welders is becoming increasingly difficult. With this solution, even unskilled workers can manage the loading and unloading of workpieces, while the robot handles the critical welding tasks. This ensures consistent, high-quality production regardless of human fatigue or skill level.
