Robot Simulation & Factory Throughput Simulation Services

SK International is a leading provider of robot simulation and factory throughput simulation services for the automotive industry. Using industry-standard simulation tools, our engineers model complete production lines, validate robot reachability, identify throughput bottlenecks, and optimize cycle times — all before a single piece of steel is cut.

Factory simulation reduces costly engineering changes during build and gives manufacturers the confidence to commit to line layouts with accurate, data-backed throughput projections. Our simulation work has supported engine line, transmission line, and BIW projects for automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers across North America.

Project:

Clamp Bore Grinding Machine – Robot Upgrade

Product:
Transmission Gear
SK International is a leading provider of robot simulation and factory throughput simulation services for the automotive industry.

Applications & Features

  • Upgrades part transfer from walking beam style to a 6-axis robot transfer
  • Handles multiple variants with ease
  • Utilizes robot simulation and EOAT design for optimized performance, precision and efficiency.
  • Implements structural design solutions for robust and reliable operation.
  • Ensures exceptional accuracy of drop-off on the chuck within a tight tolerance of 10 microns, thereby guaranteeing precise positioning and alignment.

Project Example:

Throughput & Discrete Event Simulation Supporting a Robotic Upgrade

This project demonstrates how SK International combines robot simulation with throughput and discrete event simulation to support the upgrade of a clamp bore grinding machine for transmission gear production. Digital modeling was used to evaluate robotic reach, interference, safety, cycle time, and part flow, enabling optimization of the 6-axis robot transfer system.
