Process Overview

This machine tending automation solution uses the Doosan collaborative robot M1013 and a WIA turning center to automate the loading and unloading of automotive parts for machining processes.

In conventional processes, operators had to continuously wait in front of the equipment and manually load parts one by one. By allowing the robot to handle loading and unloading tasks for two machine tools, operators can manage and operate more equipment simultaneously.
