Flexible 3D layout is possible! High-speed forced transport device for bearings.

Automating the inter-process transportation of bearings with FCS, which effectively utilizes limited space. We will introduce a case that achieved significant labor reduction and quality improvement.

【Customer Requests / Issues】 - Currently, the transportation from the exit of the previous process to the entrance of the next process is connected using a combination of an up-and-down lifter and a traditional ribbon chute that utilizes free fall. ■ Issues - Scratches occur on products in the chute section. - Responding to production halts and changing setups takes time. - There are many work-in-progress items, making production management difficult. - Even for automation, the required transportation routes are complex and space is limited, necessitating multiple transfers in vertical, horizontal, and lateral directions. - There is a need to respond to faster cycle times. - Ease of operation, such as reducing setup changes, is required. - Standardization of specifications. - Just-in-time automated transportation and improved traceability are needed. 【Results After FCS Implementation】 By flexibly constructing transportation paths and introducing the FCS-H300, which enables high-speed three-dimensional transportation, we achieved automatic single-item transportation just-in-time, which was not possible before. This led to significant improvements in quality, production management, reduction of setup changes, and efficiency in equipment maintenance, greatly enhancing overall productivity. *For more details about FCS, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
