The co-operation between FANUC and extractor hood manufacturer Silverline, which started with a special automated bonding project in 2015, has led to a total of 17 robots working across the company’s factory in Turkey. FANUC regularly sees this kind of outcome, where taking the initial leap into robot investment leads to an almost immediate realisation that manufacturing can reach entirely new performance levels.
All growing manufacturers need a reliable technology partner with innovative machines and solutions that can underpin success in the globally competitive market. Able to provide suitable testimony is Germany-based AKO Kunststoffe GmbH, a fourth-generation family-run injection moulding business that relies on around 30 FANUC ROBOSHOT all-electric injection moulding machines, including eight automated with FANUC industrial robots.
Developing a new robot requires expertise, experience and often collaboration with partners who have specialised knowledge in specific technology fields. So, when GER4TECH wanted a specialist in collaborative robots to bring advanced capabilities to its new autonomous mobile robot (AMR), the company reached out to FANUC.
Bonvicini Carpenteria today enjoys even higher levels of quality and flexibility. The company can flex between automation solutions whenever production volumes dictate. In particular, Bonvicini Carpenteria is taking advantage of easy and fast robot programming with features such as drag and drop functionality and a simple tablet interface.
