Every year, Scottish barrel-maker, Speyside Cooperage Ltd., manufactures and refurbishes more than 100,000+ oak barrels in its factories at Speyside and Alloa. Refurbishing oak barrels is an important part of the whisky industry from enhancing mature whiskey flavors, to prolonging the lifespan of the barrel. There are over 50 species of oak growing throughout the world but only a few types of oak are suitable for making barrels. It can take 100 – 150 years before the oak required to make a barrel is ready for harvesting. Speyside looked to automation for their process which not only boosted output, but improved health and safety for their employees. Two Kawasaki #ZX300S robots and a purpose designed lathe are used in the refurbishment process of traditionally built oak barrels 🥃 𝐃𝐘𝐊: A typical empty oak barrel can weigh between 90lbs - 110lbs (40kg - 50kg) 🦾 #kawasaki #kawasakirobotics #robotics #automation #machinetending #refurbishment #industrialrobots #Sláinte

Learn how our partner KJ Engineering Design LLC is making the process of manufacturing lead acid batteries safer and more efficient. 🚨 Safer working environment for cell operator. The operator supervises the burning process from outside an enclosed area. ▶️ One-code programming. The Cognex Corporation Vision System allows the robot to scan the puck locations and adjust programming to the number of intercell locations in the battery pack. Typically, there are 300-400 sku’s used. ⬆️ Increased throughput – the cell is operated on all 3-shifts increasing productivity by 70%. 🤖 The R-Series is part of the next generation of general-purpose robots, which offers a redesigned arm structure and main-unit weight reductions. By utilizing a cantilever design for the upper arm section, Kawasaki has achieved a longer maximum reach and an expanded range of motion below, behind and in the immediate vicinity of the robot. 🔗 Full Case Study Video: https://okt.to/J5uADh #kawasaki #kawasakirobotics #automation #materialhandling #robotics #robots #industrialrobots #industrialrobotics #warehouse #supplychainmanagement #supplychainsolutions #SmartSupplyChain #techsolutions #leadbatteries #batteryburning #kjengineeringdesign #basilius #eastonenterprises #ebots2005 #MHI
