The total cost is overwhelmingly low! By utilizing vacuum-formed trays, we have successfully transitioned from manual labor to robots!
Are you facing these issues on your manufacturing line? ■ You are considering automating your manufacturing and packaging lines to reduce labor. ■ You want to automate the process of loading parts into trays, but you are struggling with creating trays that can accommodate the movements of handling robots. We would like to introduce a case study of vacuum-formed trays that match the movements of automated lines with robots. Before the introduction of robots, it was necessary to move semi-finished products to another line within the factory, and each semi-finished product had to be manually placed into trays. After comparing with low-cost trays, we found that the costs for mold and tray unit prices were overwhelmingly cheaper, so we adopted vacuum forming for the robot trays. By designing the trays to match the movements of the robots and integrating the necessary handling systems, we achieved automation of the process. 【Key Points of Implementation】 ■ Using handling robots allows for stable handling without errors. ■ Automating the handling tasks for trays helps address chronic labor shortages. ■ It is possible to handle workpieces with high precision to their designated positions in the trays, leading to improved work accuracy. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document.

basic information
【Series of Actions within the Robot】 (1) Set the stacked vacuum-formed trays in the robot. (2) Take out the trays one by one and flow them onto the line. (3) Coordinate the shape of the vacuum-formed trays with the robot system to store semi-finished products in the designated positions of the trays. (4) Discharge the trays once the required quantity is filled. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
After 80 years since our founding, we have supported our customers' businesses from various angles, including logistics support, and by continuously incorporating customer feedback and exploring possibilities, we have come to believe that vacuum forming is the most efficient way to support our customers' manufacturing processes. Currently, we perceive three challenges—cost, quality, and proposals—as hurdles preventing the adoption of plastic products in manufacturing. Our company has manufacturing bases not only in Japan but also in Vietnam. To achieve low costs, we primarily focus on mold manufacturing in Vietnam, minimizing cost barriers and enabling us to engage in prototyping and production effectively.
