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.
