ASYST Technologies Boosts Manufacturing Efficiency with FANUC Integration

ASYST Technologies, a key player in injection molding and advanced automation solutions, has taken a significant step forward by announcing its upgraded status as a FANUC Authorized System Integrator. This new capability enables ASYST to combine FANUC's innovative robotics technology with its extensive expertise in tooling and manufacturing processes, leading to enhanced production efficiency and quality control for manufacturers.

Driving Efficiency Through Automation

The integration of FANUC robotics into ASYST’s production lines is designed to revolutionize the manufacturing landscape. With these systems, companies can expect:

Cycle Time Reduction

Automated part handling, inspection, and packaging processes promise a throughput increase of up to 30%. By minimizing the time spent on repetitive tasks, manufacturers can enhance their operational speed significantly.

Optimized Operation

The combination of robots and innovative machinery allows for uninterrupted production runs with minimal supervision. This can translate to fewer delays and improved operational flow.

Resource Reorganization

One of the most significant advantages of this technology is its ability to free skilled workers from mundane tasks. Instead of spending their time on machine tending or packaging, employees can focus on higher-value responsibilities such as process oversight, engineering, and innovation. Ben Spacek, the Automation Division Manager, emphasizes that "robotics aren't about replacing people—they're about elevating what teams can achieve."

Robotics-Powered Quality Control

ASYST Technologies also leverages FANUC’s robust systems to ensure quality remains a top priority across various critical sectors, including Healthcare Technology and Automotive.

Error-Proof Inspection

Utilizing advanced vision systems, the technology can detect microscopic defects in real time, leading to a guarantee of zero non-conforming parts leaving the production line.

High Precision

FANUC robots handle delicate operations with remarkable precision, boasting +/- 0.02 mm repeatability for tasks like insert loading, overmolding, and precise part removal. This level of accuracy is crucial in maintaining the integrity of complex assemblies.

Compliance Assurance

The systems offer automated traceability and documentation, aligning with ISO 9001 requirements to enhance compliance, which is vital for industries under rigorous regulatory scrutiny.

Industry-Specific Expertise

With over 25 years of experience in plastic injection molding and automation, ASYST Technologies is well-positioned to tackle the specific challenges of various manufacturing sectors. Their expertise includes:

• - Machine vision inspection for sensitive medical device applications.
• - Developing custom end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) that can handle multi-material components and complex insert molding processes.
• - Providing a scalable integration of solutions ranging from standalone work cells to fully automated production lines.
