Machine feeding stands out as an application that requires millimetric precision and coordination between two or more machines. In the area where automation is used for the efficiency of the production cycle, frequent repetition is needed. Universal Robots cobots, which automate the machine feeding applications of businesses of all sizes around the world, quickly pay for themselves and add value to brands.
Industry experts say that more than half of the 4.6 million manufacturing jobs created in the next decade will not be filled, creating a huge workforce shortage. According to a report by Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute, this gap is not limited to positions such as welding; It also covers line tasks such as assembly, packaging and machine feeding. Universal Robots cobots are used to automate the machine feeding applications of businesses of all sizes around the world. Thanks to collaborative machine feeding automation, cobot systems undertake repetitive loading and unloading tasks. Thus, while employees focus on managing and controlling automation equipment; It can perform complex, high value-added tasks.
“Reducing the cost with a successful automation project possible”
Kandan Özgür Gök drew attention to the possibility of commissioning the cobot system in an easy, fast and standardized way with the UR+ ecosystem and continued his words as follows: “Whatever the path a machine manufacturing workshop or factory will take to automate, reducing costs and complexity is largely successful automation. connected to the project. An ecosystem like UR+ allows easy, fast and standardized commissioning of the cobot system, along with the ability for customers to develop their own custom solutions. It offers third-party kits and components with which UR cobots are pre-integrated.
UR+ certified products ensure fast installation of compatible end elements and accessories and a reliable user experience. Cobots provide solutions to the company’s CNC machine feeding, press brake, injection molding machine or 3D printer needs, while also helping to increase productivity, improve quality and eliminate workforce shortages.”
“It offers flexible solutions for a wide variety of production needs”
Universal Robots Turkey & MEA Country Manager Kandan Özgür Gök, who noted that Dynamic Group, which installed collaborative robots within its own body, worked together with robot integrators to implement the cobot application and was successful, said, “Dynamic Group, a precision mold and molding company, provides high consistency due to the heat sensitivity of the mold material. and it was difficult to find personnel in the labor-intensive machine cycle. Dynamics’ fast cycle times were pushing operators, increasing waste and causing downtime. Looking for a flexible and mobile solution for high variety and low volume production, Dynamic Group commissioned three Universal Robots cobots for injection molding and kit making applications. After the robot cell was installed, it took about 2 days for the Dynamic Group automation engineer to program the cobots. In this sense, Dynamic Group needed the flexibility to move the robots between the presses according to the current production plan, so the mobile-based robot was the better choice.”
