Case Studies
Medical Components
High-Volume Machine Tending for Medical Components
Application: Machine Tending medical components through vision inspection process
Cobot: UR10e
Base: Custom designed and fabricated
EoAT: Custom designed dual gripper
Points of Interest: High volume throughput application requiring dual vision inspection stations being serviced by two robots to load and unload
Metal Fabrication
Vision-Guided Bin Picking for Sheet Metal Parts
Application: Machine Tending Stamping Press
Cobot: UR10e
Gripper: Custom Designed Flexible Tooling
Base: Easy Robotics Pedestal
Machine: Aida Press
EoAT: Had a mix of vacuum and mechanical gripping for final product handling
Points of Interest: Low volume, High Mix Production. 3D Bin Picking allows a box/pallet of parts to be placed and parts to be consumed. Custom EoAT outfitted with check valves and strategic spacing, allowed for many products to run off of the same tool
Precision Machining
Lathe Automation Using a Cobot
Application: Machine Tending
Cobot: UR10e
Base: EasyRobotics ProFeeder
Machine: Hardinge Lathe
Points of Interest: High precision machining operation loading a 5C collet chuck with only a few thousands clearance to work with. Been running nonstop since 2021
Precision Machining
Dual‑Spindle Lathe Automation
Application: Jyoti Lathe Dual Spindle Machine Tending
Cobot: UR20
Gripper: Schunk Grippers, Custom Finger Inserts for part changeover
Base: Custom Pedestal
Machine: Jyoti TMX200 twin spindle
EoAT: Custom dual gripper with blow off venturi
Points of Interest: The front sloping geometry and large working envelope of the machine made the robot base and custom dual‑gripper EoAT design a challenge, with simulation critical to validate robot and tool selection. Custom finger inserts handle each spindle changeover, while the Roboworld sleeve protects the robot joints in the coolant‑heavy environment.
Metal Fabrication
Machine Tending a Hot Forging Process
Application: Machine Tending – Hot Forging Process
Cobot: UR10e
Gripper: Standard (not featured)
Base: Custom-designed and fabricated
Machine: Manufacturer not specified
EoAT: Custom setup for part handling
Points of Interest: Production output increased by nearly 2x, Customer has automated three machines using cobots
Precision Fabrication
Tight-Space UR10e Automation
Application: Machine Tending
Cobot: UR10e
Gripper: SMC Grippers, Custom fingers
Base: Easy Robotics Pedestal
Machine: The machine is a custom-built machining center (application specific)
EoAT: Custom EoAT, to tie into existing WIP (work in progress) production carts (tight spacing constraints)
Points of Interest: Complex integrated programs to existing machine HMI for easy operator interface. Advanced safety due to nature of the parts Tight space constraints with the carts, and the workcell as a whole.
Automotive Manufacturing
Punch Press Machine Tending
Application: Punch Press Machine Tending
Cobot: UR10e
Gripper: PHD Gripper
Base: Easy Robotics
Machine: Custom Machine
EoAT: Custom built EoAT
Points of Interest: The system delivers precision placement with parts aligned and keyed at both staging and on the mandrel, while high-volume runs on the ProFeeder base with pre-loaded carts ensure rapid changeovers and minimal downtime.
Precision Machining
UR5e Broach Machine Automation
Application: Broach Machine Tending
Cobot: UR5e
Gripper: PHD 3 Jaw Pneumatic
Base: Easy Robotics ProFeeder
Machine: Unknown
EoAT: Custom Mount, Custom Gripper Fingers
Points of Interest: The system was installed in just 3–4 hours, quickly bringing this dirty, oil-intensive process into automated production and relieving operators from manual rotation.
Precision Stamping
Thread Rolling Automation
Application: Thread Rolling
Cobot: UR10e
Gripper: Robotiq
Base: Easy Robotics
Machine: Unknown
EoAT: Robotiq Dual Gripper, Custom Fingers
Points of Interest: The dual-gripper setup enables faster part handling and changeovers, reduces manual intervention, and ensures consistent throughput in high-volume thread rolling operations.
