Case Study: Flex-N-Gate achieves lower inspection costs and saves space with FANUC collaborative robots

Flex-N-Gate cuts inspection costs with FANUC by replacing up to 10 cameras per station

Flex-N-Gate, an automotive parts manufacturer, faced challenges in ensuring product quality with expensive, space-consuming camera inspection systems. They needed a solution to reduce equipment costs and floor space while creating a safer environment for employees to work alongside automation. They partnered with FANUC America Corporation for a solution using FANUC collaborative robots (cobots).

FANUC America implemented cobots to move a single camera for inspection, replacing the need for multiple stationary cameras. This solution from FANUC significantly reduced equipment costs and saved valuable floor space since the cobots are compact and require no safety fencing. The result was an improved, cost-effective inspection process with minimal downtime and enhanced worker safety.
