This machine tending automation solution utilizes a YASKAWA industrial robot to automate the loading and unloading of metal workpieces for three WIA MCT (F410D) units.
In the traditional process, operators had to stand by the machines constantly to manually feed workpieces. By delegating the loading and unloading tasks to the robot, operators can now focus on overall equipment management and system operation, significantly increasing operational efficiency.
Furthermore, by having a single robot service three machining centers, productivity is maximized across the entire production cell.

Workflow
| STEP 1. | Picking: The robot picks up two workpieces from the input conveyor. |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Alignment: The workpieces are placed on a jig for re-alignment to ensure precision. |
| STEP 3. | Cleaning: The robot performs an air-blow on the machining jig inside the CNC machine to remove debris. |
| STEP 4. | Loading: The workpieces are loaded, and the machining cycle begins. |
| STEP 5. | Multi-tending: During the machining cycle, the robot moves to service the other machines. |
| STEP 6. | Pre-extraction Cleaning: Once machining is complete, the robot performs an air-blow on the finished parts before picking. |
| STEP 7. | Unloading: The robot picks up the two finished workpieces. |
| STEP 8. | Secondary Cleaning: The finished parts undergo a second air-blow at a dedicated cleaning station. |
| STEP 9. | Discharge: The completed workpieces are unloaded onto the discharge conveyor. |
