Automation in Action: Robotic Handling in Die Casting We’re continuously investing in automation to enhance efficiency, safety, and consistency across our manufacturing operations. This highlights our robotic arm integrated with the die casting cell, managing the full workflow: • Picking the hot part directly from the mold • Placing it on the cooling rack • Moving it to the trim die for flash removal • Finally transferring it to the packaging station By automating these steps, we’re able to: • Improve process reliability and throughput • Reduce manual handling and operator exposure to heat • Ensure consistent part quality and shorter cycle times A great example of how automation improves safety, quality, and efficiency on the shop floor. #DieCasting #Automation #Robotics #SmartManufacturing #EngineeringExcellence #LeanManufacturing #IndustrialAutomation #CastingIndustry #OEMSolutions

Tackling Machine Tending Challenges with Vacuum Grippers Loading and unloading parts into CNC machines, moulding units, or automated stations brings unique handling challenges. While traditional mechanical grippers have their place, vacuum grippers offer a versatile, efficient, and often safer alternative. At SP Automation & Robotics, we’ve seen how the right gripping solution can transform uptime, safety, and quality. Here are five common challenges vacuum grippers solve: 🔷 Irregular or Smooth Surfaces – Suction cups adapt to flat, curved, or uneven parts where mechanical jaws struggle. 🔷 Confined Workspaces – Compact designs fit easily into tight machine enclosures. 🔷Awkward Angles – Maintain a secure grip even when operating upside down or sideways. 🔷 Delicate Materials – Evenly distributed suction protects fragile or polished components. 🔷 Speed & Efficiency – Fast engage-and-release cycles boost throughput and reduce downtime. From automotive to medical devices, vacuum gripping brings flexibility, precision, and reliability to robotic machine tending. Learn how SP Automation & Robotics can tailor vacuum gripping systems to your process and unlock new levels of performance - https://ow.ly/iBrk50Xmohn #automation #vacuumgrippers #robotics

𝗠𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 So, you've spent millions outfitting your paint booths with robotic applicators, but you're delivering inconsistent material for them to apply. This discrepancy seems inconsistent both in logic and process. If you're ready to close the loop on temperature and viscosity variation in your operations, it’s time to take decision-making and adjustments out of the hands of your operators. Instead, focus on recipeing and standardizing your coating procedures. Get the most out of the automation you've invested in. Robotic applications can deliver consistent angles, speeds, and distances to the part. By automating your coating material control, your robots can receive material at the same temperature and viscosity every single time. If you're looking to explore how temperature and viscosity control can reduce variability your operations, let's connect and discuss—because every drop counts! #RoboticCoating #Efficiency #Manufacturing #Automation #ProcessOptimization

Why do Glass industry machinery manufacturers sell automated IG lines that still require a risky 50+ yr old wasteful manual process to operate? An automated IG line that relies on a 50+ year old manual loading process that historically has always created waste. Why? Where are the cost-effective solutions for companies who do not have deep pockets and acres of space in their factory? #IntelligentInnovation from GS-MR Robotics #GlassIndustry #GlassMachinery #GlassProcessing #Automation

Our one and a newest concept of automated robotic packaging cell optimizes the packing of furniture parts of various dimensions - all without stopping the production flow.🤖 The solution ensures fast and precise part placement, reduces manual handling, and streamlines the entire packaging process for higher efficiency and consistency. Here’s how it performs: · Two loading stations hold stacks of furniture parts - either identical or different formats. · A conveyor transfers the stacks into the robot’s working zone, where the main robot loads the parts onto the alignment table according to the programmed sequence. · Two synchronized robots handle short and long parts independently, maintaining continuous operation. · Laser positioning system detects part alignment and adjusts robot trajectory in real time · Hydraulic lifting mechanism replaces pneumatic components, improving energy efficiency and reliability. · Dual-stack configuration allows simultaneous packing of different formats. · Modular setup ensures production flexibility - each cell can run independently during maintenance. With up to 15 boxes (30 parts) per minute, this upgraded version doubles previous performance while ensuring high precision and long-term stability. 🎥Watch the cell in action below #VMGTechnics #automation #robotics #packagingautomation #industrialautomation #manufacturingefficiency #robotcell #engineering
