C-Hawk Technology announces the launch of its patent-pending Roberto platform, an integrated robotic system designed for plastic welding manufacturing that redefines precision, efficiency, and sustainability in automated production. The platform sets a new industry benchmark in the production of welded components and sub-assemblies.
Performance Improvement: A Leap in Manufacturing Efficiency
Compared to conventional manual welding, the Roberto platform offers significant performance advantages:
25% faster production and higher product consistency.
The output efficiency is increased by 30%, the production cycle is shortened, and the production capacity is maximized.
The error rate is reduced by 50%, which greatly reduces defects and improves the overall quality of the product.
These outstanding performance figures demonstrate C-Hawk's unwavering commitment to driving innovation in manufacturing and smart factories.
The core technology of the Roberto platform
At the heart of the Roberto platform is a combination of sensing technology, an AI control system, and cleanroom-certified robots with the following key features:
1. Real-time monitoring and adjustment
The platform is equipped with an advanced feedback system that continuously monitors welding parameters and dynamically adjusts operations to ensure that welding conditions are always optimal. This self-correcting mechanism significantly reduces defects and improves production yields, making it ideal for the semiconductor industry, which requires the highest quality requirements.
2. Cleanroom compatibility
The Roberto platform is designed to meet the high standards of cleanliness in semiconductor manufacturing, minimizing the risk of contamination and ensuring compliance with industry specifications for seamless integration into ultra-clean production environments.
3. Highly scalable
From low-volume prototyping to mass production, the Roberto platform can be easily adapted. Its flexibility allows manufacturers to respond quickly to market changes while maintaining consistent quality and efficiency.
4. User-friendly interface
The platform provides an intuitive user interface that makes system setup and operation quick and easy. Operators can become proficient with minimal training, significantly reducing deployment time and reducing the risk of operational disruption.
5. Sustainability
The Roberto platform is designed with the environment in mind, enabling higher productivity by reducing energy consumption by around 50%. Unlike human welders, who need to keep their welding tools heated constantly, the Roberto platform only activates the heat source while welding. In addition, its automatic welding cut-off function significantly reduces electrode waste, and the electrode waste rate is reduced by more than 90% compared with manual welding.
