Process layout
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.

Workflow
| STEP 1. | Feeding of raw machining materials. |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | High-precision picking of the raw material. |
| STEP 3. | Robot entry into the CNC machine. |
| STEP 4. | Picking of the finished (machined) part. |
| STEP 5. | Loading of the new raw material into the CNC. |
| STEP 6. | Unloading the finished part onto the discharge conveyor. |
Features
Maximizing Productivity through Continuous Production
24/7 Automated Operation: Automated feeding and discharging of machining materials allow for continuous, around-the-clock production without human intervention.
Efficient Circular Layout: By arranging three CNC machines in a circular formation, a single robot can efficiently service all three units, optimizing both space and equipment cost.
Minimized Downtime: Synchronized motion planning minimizes idle time between machining cycles, leading to a significant increase in total output.
Results
| Key Benefits | Massive productivity gains enabled by 24-hour continuous production cycles.

Recommended Solution
Material Handling Automation using Yaskawa GP180
This application case features an automated stacking solution utilizing the Yaskawa GP180. The system automates the stacking of two different types of products onto their respective pallets. Once a pallet is fully loaded, an operator triggers a switch to signal for forklift transport. The products retain residual internal heat, making manual handling hazardous. Additionally, with each unit weighing approximately 1.5kg, the repetitive nature of the task caused significant musculoskeletal pain for workers, leading to difficulties in labor recruitment.
Robot Automation and Automatic Temperature Control System for Hot Bolt Forging
This application is a solution that realizes robot automation through position control and constructs an automatic temperature control system in the hot bolt forging process using the Kawasaki RS050. By automating the friction press hot forging process during bolt manufacturing and implementing an automatic temperature control system, it has achieved Korea's first automation of press robots.
AI Painting Robot GT PAINTER–I
This application case features the Magenta Robotics GT PAINTER–I performing painting processes. Dry powder coating typically takes place in harsh environments with high levels of fine dust. Due to repetitive tasks and the need to work on ceilings or high-altitude sections, it has long been a job avoided by human workers. The GT PAINTER–I automatically analyzes objects within these painting processes and selects the optimal motion for execution. This has enabled the improvement of workplace safety, increased productivity, and the achievement of uniform coating quality.
