Case Study: Diamond Doors achieves in-house high-volume hinge welding with FANUC and Lincoln Electric's Cooper Cobot

Diamond Doors brings hinge production in-house with FANUC’s CRX-10iA/L cobot

Diamond Doors, a Canadian producer of bi-fold doors, faced the challenge of bringing high-volume hinge production in-house after years of offshore manufacturing. They needed a solution to achieve this high-volume production while meeting strict corporate standards for quality and consistency. To solve this, they partnered with FANUC America Corporation and implemented a Lincoln Electric Cooper Cobot featuring a FANUC CRX-10iA/L collaborative robot.

The solution provided by FANUC America and Lincoln Electric was extremely easy to program and use, allowing for maximum flexibility and product customization. This enabled Diamond Doors to successfully move all hinge production onshore. The results were high-quality, reliable, and consistent welding. Furthermore, the cobot provided employees with career enrichment opportunities by relieving them from mundane tasks. Due to this success, Diamond Doors is looking to implement several more cobots in the future.
