With six application scenarios, FAO collaborative robots continue to help the small household appliance industry transform and upgrade

The small household appliance industry is a typical labor-intensive industry, and market demand is rapidly iterating. The industry development is facing a small-batch, multi-variety production model, and the process of automation transformation and upgrading is gradually accelerating.

FAO Collaborative robots , with their easy programming, fast deployment, and high safety features, have opened up many application scenarios in the small appliance industry.

Application-UV light curing parts handling

Two collaborative robots work together. One robot is responsible for removing the UV-cured parts from the base and placing them at the inspection point. The other robot is responsible for sorting the parts into good and bad boxes based on the inspection results.

Project Benefits

(1) Freeing people from repetitive, boring, and mechanized work, allowing workers to break through single skills and become managers of robots

(2) ROI period ≤ 8 months

Application 2: Screw locking of floor scrubber parts

In the automated screw locking scenario, the Fao FR5 collaborative robot is used with visual equipment integration to achieve precise positioning and efficient screw locking operations.

Project Benefits

(1) All screws on a part can be tightened in 8 seconds

(2) Effectively improve the efficiency of screw locking and product yield

Application of three vacuum cleaner motor test handling

In the vacuum cleaner motor testing scenario, the Fao collaborative robot is used for handling. The efficient dual-station mode works closely with the production line workers to improve testing efficiency.

Project Benefits

(1) Increase production capacity by 10%, achieving a daily production capacity of 2,000+

(2) ROI period ≤ 8 months

Application 4: Automated Unpacking

The packaging specifications of different products vary greatly. The Fao FR5 collaborative robot can intelligently identify and efficiently complete unpacking tasks of different sizes and specifications.

Project Benefits

(1) Applicable to unpacking operations of multiple categories and sizes, realizing multi-category operations on a single production line, effectively improving the flexibility of the production line

(2) Help workers avoid tedious unpacking operations and improve product packing efficiency

(3) ROI period: 8-10 months

Application 5: Palletizing of parts in injection molding workshop

The injection molding workshop has a pungent smell that is harmful to human health. However, since the truss robot of the injection molding machine can only take out parts but not stack them, workers need to be arranged next to each injection molding machine to watch and manually place them. Now, the FAO FR5 collaborative robot cooperates with the injection molding machine to realize automated operation.

Project Benefits

(1) Realize the automation of complex workpieces and complex processes, such as injection molding part shear nozzle, injection molding part demoulding, loading and unloading, etc.

(2) Keep workers away from harmful working environments and fully protect their occupational health

(3) One FR5 collaborative robot can stack 5,600 parts in 24-hour operation

Application of six finished product handling

The Fao FR10 collaborative robot has a payload of 10kg, a repeatability of ±0.05mm, and a working radius of 1400mm. It can move assembled products onto the elevator smoothly and efficiently.

Project Benefits

(1) Smooth and efficient transfer of finished products

(2) ROI period ≤ 1 year

The small household appliance industry has many categories and complex processes. With the increasing demand for customization, the requirements for flexible production are also higher. Collaborative robots can flexibly switch between different production lines, and work efficiently with humans and machines, becoming an important tool for the automation upgrade of the industry. Adhering to the concept of popularizing collaborative robots, Fao will actively explore more application scenarios and continue to enable the transformation and upgrading of the small household appliance industry.
