Automotive applications are among the most demanding automation tasks across all of industry. Sure enough, fast axis speeds and high productivity are key metrics, but in this particular project, precision and repeatability were also high on the list of priorities. With so many demands, it was FANUC industrial robots that stepped up to the mark.
Automating the full minting process from individual coins to finished palletised boxes is no mean feat. However, that was the task facing Swissmint, the Federal Mint of Switzerland. To make this complex concept a reality, Swissmint deploys high-performance FANUC robots in tasks that include pick and place, assembly of boxes and palletisation.
