Revamp Renaissance: Revitalizing Your Assembly Line with Refurbished Fanuc Robots

What Man­u­fac­tur­ers Expect from the Automa­tion in Their Assem­bly Lines

Assem­bly lines are a hall­mark of mass pro­duc­tion and dis­tri­b­u­tion. Key fea­tures and expec­ta­tions of assem­bly lines in man­u­fac­tur­ing include:

• Sequen­tial Process. Lines ded­i­cat­ed to a spe­cif­ic task move prod­ucts along until they are entire­ly cre­at­ed, assem­bled, and pre­pared for distribution.
• Divi­sion of Labor. Tasks are divid­ed among work­ers or machines along the assem­bly line spe­cial­iz­ing in a spe­cif­ic aspect of the assem­bly process.
• Qual­i­ty con­trol. Mea­sures imple­ment­ed along the assem­bly line to ensure that each com­po­nent and the final prod­uct meets pre­de­fined stan­dards to main­tain con­sis­ten­cy and high prod­uct quality.
• Increased Pro­duc­tion Vol­ume. One of the pri­ma­ry goals of assem­bly lines is to achieve high pro­duc­tion vol­umes, allow­ing man­u­fac­tur­ers to pro­duce large quan­ti­ties of prod­ucts in a rel­a­tive­ly short period.
• Reduced Costs. Assem­bly lines con­tribute to cost reduc­tion through economies of scale, increased effi­cien­cy, and reduced labor costs. The mass pro­duc­tion of stan­dard­ized com­po­nents often leads to low­er pro­duc­tion costs per unit.
• Time­ly Pro­duc­tion. Assem­bly lines enable man­u­fac­tur­ers to pro­duce prod­ucts prompt­ly, meet­ing mar­ket demands and main­tain­ing a com­pet­i­tive stronghold. 

The Fanuc Edge in Auto­mat­ed Assem­bly Lines

Fanuc, a pio­neer in indus­tri­al automa­tion, has set the stan­dard for robot­ic excel­lence. Explore the advan­tages that make refur­bished Fanuc robots and replace­ment parts game-chang­ers for auto­mat­ed assem­bly lines. Note spe­cif­ic exam­ples below where refur­bished Fanuc robots have breathed new life into assem­bly lines across diverse industries:

1. Auto­mo­tive Man­u­fac­tur­ing: LR Mate 200iD

Pre­ci­sion and speed are para­mount in the auto­mo­tive sec­tor. The LR Mate 200iD proves its met­tle in tasks such as small parts assem­bly. This com­pact robot­’s abil­i­ty to han­dle intri­cate com­po­nents pre­cise­ly stream­lines the assem­bly process, improv­ing pro­duc­tion efficiency.

2. Elec­tron­ics Assem­bly: R‑2000iC/​210F

The R‑2000iC/​210F shines in elec­tron­ics assem­bly, where del­i­cate com­po­nents require pre­cise han­dling. This robot effort­less­ly assem­bles intri­cate elec­tron­ic devices, ensur­ing con­sis­tent qual­i­ty. Its ease of pro­gram­ming allows quick adap­ta­tion to new prod­uct lines, mak­ing it a ver­sa­tile solution. 

3. Phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal Pack­ag­ing: M‑20iB/​25

Phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal pack­ag­ing demands metic­u­lous atten­tion to detail. The M‑20iB/​25 excels in pack­ag­ing appli­ca­tions with its dex­ter­i­ty and speed. Its ver­sa­til­i­ty allows for quick adjust­ment to vary­ing pack­ag­ing require­ments, enhanc­ing over­all effi­cien­cy in phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal production.

The Revamp Renais­sance: Top Rea­sons for Trans­form­ing Your Company’s Assem­bly Lines

1. Effi­cien­cy Ampli­fi­ca­tion. Revi­tal­iz­ing your assem­bly line with refur­bished Fanuc robots is a strate­gic move toward effi­cien­cy ampli­fi­ca­tion. The pre­ci­sion and speed of these robots lead to accel­er­at­ed pro­duc­tion cycles, reduc­ing lead times and ensur­ing time­ly deliv­ery of prod­ucts to meet mar­ket demands.
2. Ease of Upgrades. Fanuc robots’ mod­u­lar design and user-friend­ly pro­gram­ming facil­i­tate easy upgrades. As your pro­duc­tion require­ments evolve, upgrad­ing your robot­ic sys­tems to adapt to new tasks becomes a seam­less process. This ensures that your assem­bly line remains agile and respon­sive to chang­ing mar­ket demands.
3. Return on Invest­ment (ROI). Inte­grat­ing refur­bished Fanuc robots yields a sig­nif­i­cant return on invest­ment. The low­er ini­tial cost of refur­bished robots, increased pro­duc­tion effi­cien­cy, and reduced oper­a­tional costs result in a com­pelling ROI. This finan­cial advan­tage posi­tions your busi­ness for sus­tained growth and profitability.
4. Improved Cus­tomer Ser­vice. Enhanc­ing your assem­bly line with Fanuc robots con­tributes to improved cus­tomer ser­vice. The con­sis­tent qual­i­ty and faster pro­duc­tion cycles enable you to meet cus­tomer demands prompt­ly. This cus­tomer-cen­tric approach fos­ters sat­is­fac­tion and loy­al­ty, strength­en­ing your posi­tion in the market.
5. Stream­lined Logis­tics and Dis­tri­b­u­tion. Auto­mat­ed assem­bly lines pow­ered by Fanuc robots result in stream­lined logis­tics and prod­uct dis­tri­b­u­tion. The effi­cien­cy of Fanuc robot­ic systems min­i­mizes errors and delays in the assem­bly process, ensur­ing that prod­ucts move seam­less­ly through the sup­ply chain.
