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
Keyence AI Vision Camera Review 👁️ Location Inspection· Appearance Inspection· OCR Automation
Keyence AI Vision is a smart factory automation solution based on an integrated smart Vision system that supports location, appearance, OCR/BCR Inspection, AI OCR, cross-product classification, tray location detection, and real-time robot pose correction.
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.
Smart Machine Tool Assistant "G-AiD" using Collaborative Robots
This machine tending solution automates the loading and unloading of parts by integrating three G-AiD small-precision (4-axis) machine tools with a Universal Robots UR10e. By arranging multiple machine tools in a compact space, a single robot can manage the entire workflow, significantly boosting operational efficiency and productivity. G-AiD features an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) and tool wear sensing, enabling efficient task management. Furthermore, its seamless data integration with external systems makes it an ideal candidate for Smart Factory government support projects, helping to reduce initial investment costs. The project was implemented to resolve labor shortages in part machining, reduce personnel costs, and enable real-time quality monitoring and improvement through smart factory integration.
