Process Overview
This assembly automation solution uses a YUSHIN take-out robot (SCⅡ 150) to perform insert molding, placing a nut into the mold and overmolding it with plastic, followed by automated inspection. By automating both the insert-loading operation and the downstream inspection process, the system minimizes quality-control touchpoints while improving overall productivity.

Yuhan-Kimberly's Choice! Fully Automated Depalletizing and String Cutting 📦
Process Overview This implementation case, implemented at Yuhan-Kimberly's Chungju factory , combines a Yaskawa industrial robot with a string cutting workstation to achieve automated depalletizing and string cutting. The client introduced the depalletizing system to reduce labor costs and work fatigue, and expressed strong interest in automating rope cutting and discharge to maximize cost savings and efficiency. This solution sorts and cuts boxes of various sizes before feeding them to the case packer, improving the efficiency of the box feeding and rope cutting processes, while also reducing the physical burden on workers and ensuring safety. Project Background and Objectives At Yuhan-Kimberly's Chungju factory , the process of dismantling palletized boxes and loading them into case packers individually was entirely manual. This process was highly repetitive and presented a constant risk of safety accidents due to the use of knives during the removal of the twine. The goal of this project was to automate the entire process, from depalletizing to loading into the case packer, minimizing human dependence. Furthermore, by unmanning the twine cutting process, we aimed to ensure worker safety, reduce fatigue and on-site personnel burden, and ensure stable plant operations.
Nut-Insert Injection Molding and Inspection Using a Yushin Take-Out Robot
Process Overview This assembly automation solution uses a YUSHIN take-out robot (SCⅡ-150) to automate the process of insert-molding a steel plate into a plastic injection-molded part during production. By automating both the insert-loading operation and the downstream inspection process, the system minimizes control points while improving overall productivity.
Box Pick-and-Place Automation Solution Using a Box Picker Gripper
Process Overview This deployment is a box pick-and-place automation solution using a Box Picker Gripper. As the name suggests, the Box Picker Gripper is designed to pick a wide range of objects. In this solution, it enables stable picking even when plastic boxes are open-top (without lids), improving handling reliability in box transfer operations.
