Successfully automated the Samlak heat treatment loading process!š We even built a perfect jig design. (ft. Hyundai Robotics Industrial Robot)
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. |

Why Automatic Solar Panel Installation Was Entrusted to Mobile Robotic Arms (Mobile Manipulators) (Luminous Robotics)
This solution, applied to a large-scale solar power plant Construction site in Australia, is a mobile manipulator-based installation automation system centered around 'LUMI,' an autonomous mobile robot developed by Luminous Robotics. The site presented a challenging environment for human workers, characterized by high temperatures, strong winds, and rough terrain; furthermore, there was a growing demand for Construction automation due to labor shortages and rising labor costs. LUMI is a mobile robotic arm designed to install heavy solar panels quickly and accurately, featuring an integrated structure that combines autonomous driving capabilities, a robotic arm, and high-precision sensors. Notably, it is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing human-centered installation methods, enabling a transition to on-site automation without requiring any infrastructure modifications.
