Post-process automation solution
Accurate insertion work
Before
Customer concerns
- The aging of skilled workers is advancing, which is indispensable for quality maintenance.
- Many skilled workers rely on technology, and it is difficult to succeed in the technology.
- Insertion process is difficult to automate due to large part variation
- The automation is abandoned because there are many parts which are forced to rely on human hands such as small gaps between parts.
After
Customer feedback after introduction
- Technologies that depended on skilled workers could be automated, and high insertion quality was maintained.
- By automating it, the expertise of skilled workers can be quantified, which helps to succeed in technology succession.
- By adding a lead straightening function which straightens the lead bending in the equipment, higher precision insertion quality was realized.
- By introducing the slide insertion function, it was possible to realize the automation of the insertion from the oblique direction which was difficult in the conventional machine.
