Inspection & Palletizing of Insert Molded Parts through YASKAWA GP8

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.

Key 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.
