BAUMRUK & BAUMRUK s.r.o. is a Czech company in engineering manufacture. Needing to better utilize their current employee staffing and increase production, the addition of UR10s to the company solved their challenge and relieved the workers from repetitive tasks. The product portfolio of the company includes serial production of metal parts and components for construction machinery. The company further specializes in the manufacturing and delivery of spare parts for railway carriages produced by the ŠKODA brand.
“We have been automating our processes continuously and systematically – from administration, through warehousing to manufacturing,” says Martin Baumruk, owner of BAUMRUK & BAUMRUK. “In production, we use 7 large welding machines from Cloos and Yaskawa, and for machine loading processes we also use 3 robots from Fanuc and Yaskawa. All these robots are industrial, non-collaborative ones and we use them in the protected workplace.”
The company needed to automate processes of loading smaller parts into milling centers, however, with a tight layout of the workplace it was not possible to install fences or other safety features. Moreover, the company wanted to use the milling center both with a robot and with a human operator, so it was necessary to keep safe access for people.
