Robots for moulding & post-moulding processes

Seven of the units are Kawasaki’s RS20N with a single, larger, RS50N robot making up the total. Each robot works 24 hours a day, 5 days a week as Suscom deals with demand.

The robots are deployed during the moulding and post-moulding processes of many components and are engaged in a variety of tasks across the shop floor. One of these is removing completed seat bases from a moulding machine and positioning them onto an adjacent workstation, using vacuum grippers.

Another is removing the five-armed star shaped bases of office chairs from the moulding machine and holding them in place, almost upside down, with a three fingered gripper whilst a laser cutter profiles a section of the base to allow the fitting of the gas strut.
