Process Overview
This solution enables automatic loading of workpieces into machining equipment, including irregular, non-standard workpieces generated from hot forging, by using a specially designed gripping tool in the automotive parts machining load/unload process.
Developed through the company’s in-house R&D, this automation system uses a custom-made gripper to automatically load hot-forged workpieces, even those with inconsistent shapes, into the machining area.

Automated Two-Part Gasket Sealing Solution
Process Overview This application is a solution that provides immediate foam forming using a Loobee sealing automation system, along with gasket product sealing equipment and raw material supply. It enables stable fixture mounting using gaskets without the need to finish the joint area with adhesive. Reliable adhesion is also possible even on curved surfaces, making it applicable to parts of any shape.
A House Built by Robots?! Space Factory Automates Modular Housing Window Assembly! 🛠️🏠
Project Overview This case marks Korea's first automated solution for modular housing window assembly, combining a KUKA industrial robot, a custom-designed robotic gripper, and a High Payload Track Motion system. Space Factory introduced this automation system to reduce construction costs and ensure consistent quality in modular housing production. Background & Objective Traditionally, skilled workers manually assembled window frames on-site, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Meeting diverse client requirements also demanded a large workforce. In addition, the wide and complex work environment made real-time monitoring and process control difficult. The goal of this project was to automate the window assembly process to significantly reduce work time, establish a standardized production system for consistent quality, and enhance process management through real-time production monitoring.
Deburring Robot Automation: Burr Removal on Ibarri Parts — Seriously This Easy?! 😮
A robotic deburring system that automatically removes burrs (BURR) generated on the machined surfaces of nickel parts applied to Honda Accord vehicles using two robots. Collaboration between a positioning robot and a deburring robot. For areas where the deburring tool cannot access, a dedicated deburring device is configured to fully perform deburring on complex-shaped machined surfaces. Integrated with the machining line to implement full-process automation, including deburring, washing, inspection, rust prevention, and packaging.
