Process Overview
This project involved the introduction of automated loading/unloading to ensure uniform heat treatment of the carrier mid-planet, a key component of automotive transmissions. The client implemented automation to address several issues arising from the previously manual process, particularly the increased defect rate and inefficiencies caused by workers. Hyundai Robotics' HH050 six-axis industrial robot was utilized for this purpose, automating various tasks such as product stacking, pin insertion, and tray placement, ensuring high productivity and stability.

Workflow
| STEP 1. | Product loading part: Manually place the mid-planet on the loading jig, and place 20 products per jig on the 8-segment index table to secure up to 160 product cartridges. |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Pin insertion part: The pins for loading are supplied and aligned through the parts feeder and placed on the mid-planet using a single-axis robot + air chuck combination. |
| STEP 3. | Loading part: Loading the mid-planet with the pin inserted, and use the servo-type to precisely control the position of the mid-planet according to its thickness. 2 sets are applied to prevent bottlenecks from occurring even when the laminated product is being discharged. |
| STEP 4. | Tray placement part: Using a 6-axis industrial robot, the loaded products are placed on a tray dedicated to heat treatment, 9 sets of fully loaded products are placed every 60' radius, and when the 360' work is completed, the worker uses a hoist to eject them with the tray, completing one cycle. |
Features
Securing customer-specific layouts, fully automating pin inserts and loading operations, and securing a fast and stable production capacity of 720 pieces per hour.
Results
| Client Feedback | By automating the process, we were able to reliably produce 720 products per hour, significantly improving overall work speed and productivity compared to manual labor. By allowing robots to handle the repeatability and precision of the work, we significantly reduced the defect rate and minimized errors. |

Recommended Solution
Plastic Injection Molded Part Transport using Twinny NarGo 100
This logistics automation solution utilizes the Twinny NarGo 100 AMR to automate the transport of large plastic injection molded products to subsequent process stages. Equipped with triple safety sensors and advanced autonomous driving technology, Twinny's NarGo 100 performs tasks safely even in factories with complex layouts and high worker traffic. Previously, transporting heavy workpieces weighing around 100kg to a distant finished goods warehouse was time-consuming, causing idle time in processing and reducing productivity due to worker fatigue. Since implementing the autonomous robot, continuous processing has become possible, and worker fatigue has been significantly reduced, leading to an overall boost in productivity.
Defect Inspection of Cutting Tools using Doosan Cobots and Keyence Equipment
This vision inspection solution utilizes the Doosan M0609 collaborative robot and the Keyence Image Dimension Measurement System (IM Series) to automate the dimensional inspection and defect sorting of cutting tools. Previously, operators had to manually measure each part and perform visual inspections, which often led to human error in sorting and required a high amount of labor for simple, repetitive tasks. By implementing robot automation, inspections are now performed continuously without idle time. This has increased the precision of defect detection, simultaneously improving both productivity and product quality.
Steel Plate Press Assistance using Dual Yaskawa Robots
This automation solution utilizes two YASKAWA robots to assist in steel plate press operations. By automating the machine tending process, the system secures high operational stability and safety. Due to the nature of press processes—characterized by extremely short cycle times and high-risk environments—industrial accidents involving human operators are frequent. In this specific solution, the robots hold the workpieces during the pressing operation itself. By having two robots perform continuous, synchronized cross-work, the cycle time is minimized to just 2 seconds per unit, maximizing overall productivity.
