Process Overview

This solution uses a total of four robots—one KAWASAKI ZX165U, two ABB IRB 2600 units, and one ABB IRB 6700—to transfer automotive parts after roll forming and perform deburring operations.

By transferring parts to the next process in sync with the continuous forming cycle time, it reduces operation time and maximizes productivity.

Battery Palletizing Automation: Safely Stack Batteries Weighing Over 60kg With the YASKAWA GP225 💪

This solution automates the repalletizing process for Atlas batteries produced by Hankook & Company for export. Due to the diverse import pallet specifications, customer-specific palletizing patterns, and product types, the total number of possible scenarios exceeds 200. The goal is to standardize these scenarios and ensure line stability by supporting a throughput of 10 pallets per minute for medium-sized batteries and 6 pallets per minute for large-sized batteries. [Pallet Feeder & Pallet Conveyor] This solution allows for the use of up to five different pallet types per country, ensuring a smooth 10-stack logistics cycle. Destacked pallets are transported to the battery palletizing position and aligned simultaneously. Completed pallets are transported to the discharge position. [Battery Sorter] Batteries fed inline are automatically sorted into 1st, 2nd (series/parallel), and 3rd layers according to the preset palletizing pattern. The robot then discharges the batteries, repeating the initialization process. [Robot Palletizer] Once aligned, the batteries are picked and placed at the palletizing position on the conveyor, repeating the pick-and-place process according to the specified location and number of layers. Honeycomb feeds are automatically inserted into each layer according to the settings. [Honeycomb Feeder & Sorter] Automatically sorts and inserts honeycombs into each layer of NO-BOX batteries.
