Problem Solutions
Automating the FFC bending process
Problem
The customer handles complex bending processes required to form multiple product shapes by increasing manpower.
Solution
We studied and manufactured an automated machine capable of bending FFC components in any direction.
Effects
Automation decreased the number of personnel needed, stabilized quality, and increased productivity.
Detailed description
We noticed that there were many workers, especially in the FFC bending process, occupying a significant amount of the production area. Upon investigation, we discovered that they were using dozens of different complex bending processes, which required a substantial amount of manpower to execute.
We examined a structure that addressed the issue of bending with a machine and allowed the bending direction to be changed freely. Additionally, we created a mechanism for supplying and feeding FFCs, realizing automation of the process.
