AUBO collaborative robots replace manual loading and unloading work

"With the progress and development of science and technology, the application of automation and high-tech products is becoming more and more extensive, and precision mechanical parts are becoming more and more important. China's spare parts industry is developing rapidly, the process of internationalization is accelerating, and with the change in the demand of the market environment, there are more and more types of spare parts. ”

AUBO collaborative robots replace manual loading and unloading work

　　Founded in 2002, the customer company has a complete range of mechanical equipment, with leading high-precision spare parts processing capabilities, processing accuracy can reach IT5 level, the main products are a variety of precision mechanical parts, such as auto parts, power tool parts and other thousands of accessories. At present, most of the customers are Japanese-funded enterprises, such as PEGASUS, Makita, JUKI, YAMATO, Brother and other famous manufacturers. These end users have very high requirements for the precision of mechanical parts, so the robot is required to have high flexibility, accuracy and safety in the production process to meet the needs of precision grinding, loading and unloading and other operations.

Due to the growth of customer business volume and the increasing variety of products produced, the original production equipment can only take care of two machines per person, and it is a big challenge to accurately complete all tasks without increasing the number of staff and extending the working hours. In addition, problems such as on-site environment and equipment noise have led to a series of common problems in the traditional manufacturing industry, such as difficulty in recruiting workers and increasing employment costs.

The customer site also uses traditional industrial robots for production, but the traditional industrial robot operation area needs to be fenced and isolated from the manual operation area, which has large requirements for the customer's on-site operating environment, comprehensive transformation and high use cost, so combined with the actual situation, it is not possible to invest in industrial robots in a large area for on-site upgrading.

Since 2017, the customer purchased the first AUBO collaborative robot to replace manual loading and unloading of spare parts, and began to purchase and put it into various production equipment in large quantities in 2019, and has deployed more than 40 AUBO collaborative robots at the production site so far. In the future, the customer plans to introduce hundreds of AUBO cobots into more production equipment.

AUBO products have been put into use for a long time at the customer's site, not only because of the performance advantages of AUBO cobot itself, but more importantly, AUBO engineers have deep insight into the actual needs of customers - simplifying processes, improving efficiency, ensuring safety, stable operation, optimizing on-site product deployment, etc., and on this basis, they propose targeted overall solutions. Transform individual requirements into actionable operational points to achieve the overall upgrade of the production floor.

Improve efficiency, save manpower, one person controls six sets of equipment

In the customer's original production process, one production employee can operate up to two machines at the same time. After deploying AUBO, 2 production employees can operate 12 machines at the same time. In this way, the customer's production scale has been tripled, and the personnel have not changed significantly.

Easy to use, reliable and stable operation

AUBO cobots have been put into use at customer sites since 2017, running an average of 16 hours a day, and have been running smoothly for 2-4 years. After simply training employees, they can skillfully operate collaborative robots, liberate employees from repetitive tasks, and help enterprises solve the problem of recruitment and employment.

Thousands of parts on the customer's site need to be processed and produced alternately, AUBO cobot can set the program in advance, when the product batch is replaced, the program can be quickly replaced into a new production task, helping the customer greatly shorten the changeover time and recover the investment cost in 12-24 months.
