Workflow
| STEP 1. | Loading: Raw materials (for hydraulic fittings) are placed onto the supply pallet. |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Start: The operator clicks the work instruction button to initiate the sequence. |
| STEP 3. | Identification: The system identifies the exact position of the target workpiece. |
| STEP 4. | Approach: The HH7 robot picks the raw material and enters the CNC machine interior. |
| STEP 5. | Retrieval: The robot picks up the finished (machined) part from the chuck. |
| STEP 6. | Loading: The new raw material is securely placed into the machining chuck. |
| STEP 7. | Machining: The robot exits, the door closes, and the machining process begins. |
| STEP 8. | Placement Check: The system verifies the designated unloading/discharge position. |
| STEP 9. | Unloading: The finished product is unloaded to the discharge area, completing the cycle. |

Machine Tending for 3 WIA KIT 4500s using KAWASAKI RS020N
This solution utilizes the KAWASAKI RS020N to automate the machining process of round bar-type materials across three WIA KIT 4500 CNC machines. By optimizing the layout of the machine tools and the material loading/unloading flow, this system maximizes overall productivity and equipment utilization.
UR10 and OnRobot 3FG15 Gripper for Machine Tending
This application case demonstrates a CNC lathe machine-tending demonstration process utilizing the Universal Robots UR10 and the OnRobot 3FG15 gripper. By leveraging a 3-finger gripper with a wide stroke, the system can be optimized for CNC lathe machining across a variety of product sizes, ensuring stable and centered handling of cylindrical workpieces.
Handling Corrugated Cardboard Boxes using UR10 and OnRobot HEX Sensor
This application case demonstrates a process for handling and stacking corrugated cardboard boxes on pallets using the Universal Robots UR10 and the OnRobot HEX force/torque sensor. By utilizing the HEX sensor to sense the exact position of the cardboard boxes, the robot can move accurately to pick and transfer the bundles. This eliminates the need for additional alignment jigs or vision solutions.
