Process Overview
This project involved the introduction of automated loading/unloading to ensure uniform heat treatment of the carrier mid-planet, a key component of automotive transmissions. The client implemented automation to address several issues arising from the previously manual process, particularly the increased defect rate and inefficiencies caused by workers. Hyundai Robotics' HH050 six-axis industrial robot was utilized for this purpose, automating various tasks such as product stacking, pin insertion, and tray placement, ensuring high productivity and stability.

Workflow
| STEP 1. | Product loading part: Manually place the mid-planet on the loading jig, and place 20 products per jig on the 8-segment index table to secure up to 160 product cartridges. |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Pin insertion part: The pins for loading are supplied and aligned through the parts feeder and placed on the mid-planet using a single-axis robot + air chuck combination. |
| STEP 3. | Loading part: Loading the mid-planet with the pin inserted, and use the servo-type to precisely control the position of the mid-planet according to its thickness. 2 sets are applied to prevent bottlenecks from occurring even when the laminated product is being discharged. |
| STEP 4. | Tray placement part: Using a 6-axis industrial robot, the loaded products are placed on a tray dedicated to heat treatment, 9 sets of fully loaded products are placed every 60' radius, and when the 360' work is completed, the worker uses a hoist to eject them with the tray, completing one cycle. |
Features
Securing customer-specific layouts, fully automating pin inserts and loading operations, and securing a fast and stable production capacity of 720 pieces per hour.
Results
| Client Feedback | By automating the process, we were able to reliably produce 720 products per hour, significantly improving overall work speed and productivity compared to manual labor. By allowing robots to handle the repeatability and precision of the work, we significantly reduced the defect rate and minimized errors. |

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.
Automated Electric Vehicle Console Assembly with EPSON SCARA Robots! 🦾
Process Overview Bigwave Robotics (Marosol) established an automated assembly line for console parts for Kia Motors' newly launched SUV-type electric vehicle. The existing console assembly line is a large-scale assembly line, requiring an average of 40-60 workers to assemble manually. The lack of automation experience presented challenges in securing space and recruiting assembly workers. Frequent staff turnover and resulting skill level issues hindered productivity. To address this, the company replaced some workers with robots, addressing the labor shortage and consistently ensuring productivity by adapting to the changing workforce. Warranty Period 1 Year Performance Year 2024 Project Duration 4 Months Project Background and Objectives Building a multi-product automated production line and reducing labor costs through robotic automation Preventing mis-assembly and mis-assembly using a lot-of-lot system and ensuring traceability Remote control and integrated management using SOLlink
