Plastic Parts Assembly Line

Industry: Others
Process: Press-fitting
Actuators: RCP2-SS8C , RCP4-RA5C

By replacing the parts setting process from air cylinders to electric actuators, “Choco Tei”* has stopped occuring!

* “Choco Tei” is a brief interruption of the line.

[Issues Until Now]

The movement and the hoisting for placing plastic parts into the cases were done with air cylinders.

Parts were falling due to the impact from the air cylinder abrupt movement stops. (30 minutes/day)

[Improvement Details]

The air cylinder for movement and hoisting parts was replaced with ROBO® Cylinders.

[Improvement Effects]

Parts stopped falling and eliminated “Choco Tei”*.

Shampoo Filling Equipment
Cut the operating hours by 18% by being able to change the speed during use.
1. Increased the discharge flow rate to shorten the fill time.
2. Achieved only 0.2 minute of changeover time.


Sequential Feeder Non-woven Fabric Punching Line
Reliable movements resulted in a defective rate of 0%.
1. Significantly reduced the defect rate.
2. ROBO Cylinders have a service life of 10 years or longer.


Deburring/Inspection Composite Equipment

Industry: Automobile / Mechanical parts
Process: Inspection, Deburring
Actuators: ISCA4 | Controller: XSEL

The multi-slider type orthogonal robot of the NS series has been adopted as equipment to remove burrs from machine parts.

One of the two Y-axes is used to deburr the parts, and the other with a camera attached is used to check if the deburring was successful.

By simultaneously processing and inspecting parts, it was possible to make the line compact.

In addition, it is possible to reduce labor expenses and stabilize quality by automating the tasks that had been done manually.
