Machine Tending for 3 WIA KIT 4500s using KAWASAKI RS020N

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.

Components

Robot	Robot: KAWASAKI RS020N Type: 6-axis articulated robot Payload: 20kg Reach: 1,725mm Repeatability: ±0.04mm Weight: 230kg

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.

Key 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.

Implementation Results

ROI Period	2 years
Key Metrics	Massive productivity gains enabled by 24-hour continuous production cycles.
Client Feedback	By using a single robot to manage three machine tools, we have achieved operational efficiency and productivity levels that far exceed what was possible with manual labor.
