At SK International, we strive to provide automation solutions that combine engineering with efficiency. One of our latest successes, a custom pneumatic Pick & Place system demonstrates exactly that.
The Challenge
Our customer, an importer of tubes and bushings for car body assembly, was manually sorting large volumes of mixed size tubes into totes. The process was slow, ergonomically challenging, and required constant operator attention and the wanted a solution.
SK's Work
The goal was to automate the part selection and placement process to improve cycle time, reduce repetitive
manual labor, and create a safer, more efficient workplace. So we engineered a fully pneumatic pick-and-place
tool with a large magnet to accommodate multiple part diameters and lengths.
- Design: 4–5 weeks
- Manufacturing: 10 weeks
- On-site installation: 2 days
The Results
The new system made production 40–45% faster, helped reduce manual labor, kept the process more
consistent, and increased efficiency.
Smart Automation with a Real Impact
The Pick & Place project is a clear example of SK International’s commitment to cost-effective, highperformance automation that solves real production challenges.
