Process layout

This automation solution streamlines the post-molding process for insert molded parts through the YASKAWA Motoman-GP8. It automates the entire sequence—from appearance inspection to the selection and palletizing of products—leveraging a high-precision vision system.

The system performs simultaneous inspection of two products, executing individual discharge or palletizing based on the specific results for each. By replacing manual visual checks with 100% automated vision inspection, the solution has significantly improved detection rates and overall product quality.

Components

Robot
  • Robot: YASKAWA GP8

    • Type: 6-axis articulated industrial robot

    • Payload: 8kg

    • Reach: 727mm

    • Weight: 32kg

    • Repeatability: ±0.02mm

Workflow

STEP 1.Picking: The robot picks up the insert molded parts.
STEP 2.Vision Inspection: High-speed scanning for defects and dimensional accuracy.
STEP 3.Sorting: Automatic discharge of defective units.
STEP 4.Palletizing: Precise loading of "Good" products into trays/pallets.

Features

Enhanced Productivity through Efficient Process Design

  • Dual-Product Handling: Simultaneously handles and inspects two products through vision sensors, significantly reducing cycle time.

  • Flawless Palletizing: Precisely loads "Good" products into pallets according to the required quantity, ensuring zero missing units.

Space Maximization with Compact Robotics

  • High-Speed Compact Robot: Leverages a compact industrial robot to achieve rapid operation speeds within a minimal footprint.

  • Ceiling-Mount Installation: By mounting the robot on the ceiling, interference between product flow and robot movement is minimized, saving valuable floor space.

Results

Key Benefits
Increased productivity through seamless, idle-free production. Improved quality through 100% automated vision inspection.
Client Feedback
We were able to resolve issues related to defective products through 100% inspection, which significantly boosted customer satisfaction. Additionally, the ceiling-mounted setup allowed for a compact layout, making it possible to utilize our space efficiently without needing additional floor area for the automation system.
