Yizumi’s Robot Automation System Lend a Helping Hand in the Automation of Rare Metal Production Plant

Apart from the die-casting field, Yizumi’s Robot Automation System (hereinafter referred to as “Yizumi RA”) has been widely used in four special processing fields, such as heavy-loading, high impact loading, high temperature and special pollution areas, in recent years. To date, it has even penetrated into the various industries of stamping, casting, forging, etc.

Since last year, Yizumi RA has begun showcasing its capabilities in the production workshops of special rare metals and heavy metals. As some of these metals are toxic in nature, such as cadmium and zinc, they will inflict severe harm to the human body in processing and production. The enterprises are not only facing the recruitment issues, they are also taking up the challenges of environmental protection and improving production efficiency. Therefore, robotic automation is the apparent choice for the transformation and upgrading of the enterprises.  

Meanwhile, Yizumi RA has been delivering automated solutions for countless clients in the production fields of rare metals and heavy metals. In the process, it has replaced the hazardous manual operation, achieved unmanned workshop management and met the production requirements of energy savings and environmental protection.

As shown in the case below, Yizumi RA provides an entire suite of automation equipment, achieving many automatic production processes such as product pick-up, spraying, product trimming, coding, palletizing, and so on. The products are directly stacked into packaging boxes and entered the warehouses for finished products. In this way, it produces a savings of labor costs equivalent to the salaries of 4 employees and enhances the efficiency by more than 10 percent.

To achieve a more efficient and convenient production management, Yizumi’s Robot has specifically designed a palletizing sucking robot. After completing a series of automated processes such as skim bob and biscuit removing, and pneumatic coding, the absorbed products are placed in the product frame in an orderly manner.

In addition to enable the robot to work flexibly in limited spaces, the palletizing sucking robot can also freely place the products in a stable and orderly manner according to the number of palletizing layers. As a result, it brings about a neat palletizing structure and provides great convenience to the storage and transportation of products in the production workshops.

The traditional 2D visual inspection device can only identify the position and size of a product on a planal surface, whereas the 3D visual inspection device can efficiently detect the product’s flatness and surface angles as well as distinguish the products with the same color, delivering a higher flexible applicability and bigger inspection boundaries.

To achieve the precise grabbing of products in the conveyor belts, Yizumi’s Robot has specially designed a 3D Visual Inspection Device to identify and position the products. The 3D high-matching lens can scan and precisely locate the cadmium ingots in a wide range with a clear image. Under its guidance, the transporting robot grabs the products in a high-speed and stable environment and then, transports them to the hydraulic edge-trimming machines, removing the skim bob and biscuit in a one-time manner. Thereafter, it prints the time stamp on the products in an orderly manner by the pneumatic coder. The entire automated process is thus completed.
