[Case Study] Reducing Cycle Time with Dual Gripping

Responding to a strained labor market due to automation! Cycle time has been reduced by 12 seconds, nearly halving it.

FT-Produktion supplies metal parts to companies such as Volvo, Renault, and Scania, and relies on automation to meet the increasing customer demand in a tight labor market. With 650 different aluminum profiles, production volumes ranging from 5 to 150,000 units, and 7,000 orders per year, flexible automation is essential. A robot cell equipped with two OnRobot RG2 grippers has reduced cycle times by nearly half, enabling the production of 150,000 units in less than two months and saving 500 hours of labor. [Results] ■ 9-month ROI ■ High volume, short lead times, no overtime ■ Cycle time reduced by 12 seconds, nearly halved ■ Changeover in 10 seconds ■ Robot cell operates 16 hours a day, 5 days a week *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
