Real time speed 1:1 complete polishing operation at Doosan Industrial Vehicle

Doosan Industrial Vehicle utilizes Pickit as eyes for a polishing robot (Yaskawa) for detecting a vehicle counterweight on a conveyor. The system is used to produce 60 parts per day, out of which 41 are unique in shape. Parts are produced in random order. Previously the operator had to visually identify each part on a pallet, and press the right button out of the 41 products which corresponds to the product file. This work was a burden for the operator because they had to remember the shapes of all 41 different parts.

Now the robot knows which part is arriving for a polishing step and is guided to perform the correct polishing moves.
