The problem, and the fix.
Problem
The line inserted odd-form parts such as connectors and coils into power boards. The old equipment took 0.41 s per part and set the pace for the whole line.
Mis-picks were frequent, and operators at the end of the line filled in missing parts by hand.
Solution
Four HG-S6-50 robots on each side of the board conveyor face each other, with part trays on the outside. Facing pairs split the work area, and their collision-free paths were planned in Hangyeol Studio.
After each pick, an upward-looking camera checks the part and corrects the insertion point. Opening a door in the machine guard stops the robots in that zone.
Result
Cycle time per part dropped from 0.41 s to 0.33 s, raising hourly throughput by 24%. The mis-pick rate fell from 0.12% to 0.03%, and hand-filling at the end of the line has nearly stopped.
