In 2021 three HC10 robots arrived at Fagerhult as an unexpected opportunity to make the most of. Fagerhult was familiar with robotic automation, including five conventional Motoman robots already in operation, but had limited experience of any type of collaborative robots. Aiming to create a productive solution on their own their challenge was: to break down products into suitable assembly tasks for the robots and test, evaluate and create a productive application without external help.
With initial training and support from Yaskawa, Fagerhult’s automation department were able to do all the testing, evaluation, and development of the final application on their own. The robotic assembly includes:
RFID tags are used to keep track on the components to be assembled for each product. Using safety scanners, the robots can alternate between their industrial mode in full speed and a safe collaborative mode.
This inhouse automation approach has increased Fagerhult’s desire to add more robotic automation projects in the future.
