Swivellink boosts output 33% with FANUC America

Swivellink, a manufacturer of mounting systems in Ohio, faced challenges including a labor shortage, the need to increase production within a limited space, and a complex part that required deburring on multiple edges. To overcome these issues, the company turned to FANUC America Corporation and its certified integrator for an automated solution using FANUC robots.

The solution implemented by FANUC America Corporation involved using LR Mate robots to automate the tending of ROBODRILL machines. This automation resulted in a 33% boost in production output and a remarkable return on investment in just 33 weeks. The total cycle time decreased by 1.5 minutes per part, leading to savings of $2,610 per week and an increase from 100 to over 150 parts produced per shift.
