MCV Core Assembly and Drilling Robot Automation
The drilling process involves refining irregularly shaped surfaces, requiring physically demanding labor and repetitive motions that carry a high risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Additionally, the work environment is harsh due to dust, noise, and vibration, making extended operation difficult. It is also challenging to maintain precision and consistent quality, even for experienced workers, making this a burdensome process. Robots can offer a promising solution to these challenges. CASKOD is a specialized company that enhances production efficiency by adopting automation solutions in the casting field of hydraulic components, such as engine blocks, heads, and MCVs. HD Hyundai Robotics’ HH050 model is currently being used to automate drilling process from cast products.
MCV Core Assembly and Drilling Robot Automation
This solution is designed to facilitate mass production under minimal cost and conditions. The casted workpiece is mounted and secured onto the jig on the worktable. Following a predefined teaching path, the robot performs drilling operations.

Key Advantages of HD Hyundai Robotics
-
Consistency in Quality
The greatest advantage of robotic automation lies in its consistency of quality. Robots operate under uniform conditions, reducing variations in finishing quality and lowering defect rates. Additionally, continuous 24-hour operation enhances productivity and ensures stable performance even in situations where skilled labor is scarce.
-
Industrial Accident Prevention
Robots play a significant role in workplace safety by performing high-risk tasks, thereby reducing the risk of industrial accidents for workers and creating a safer working environment. Moreover, robots automatically collect operational data, which can be used for process improvements and quality control—forming the foundation for smart factory implementation.
Automation of Processing Operations
The drilling process involves refining and finishing the surface of cast products, which significantly affects the appearance quality of the final product. However, due to the nature of the task—dust, noise, high temperatures, and the need for repetitive physical labor—it imposes a heavy burden on workers. As a result, the adoption of robotic automation is steadily expanding.
Robotic automation goes beyond simply replacing human labor. It offers wide-ranging benefits across quality, productivity, safety, and data-driven management. It is considered one of the key choices for preparing for the future of manufacturing.
01
By implementing an automation system, the workforce required for this task was reduced from four people to two, and daily production increased significantly from 75 to 126 units. The return on investment was achieved within 2.1 years, worker fatigue at the site was reduced, and consistency in product quality was improved.
02
This system is praised for its near-zero malfunction and failure rate, as well as its extremely low defect rate in welding.
In particular, HD Hyundai Robotics' excellent after-sales service and system engineering support allow users to adopt automation with confidence and peace of mind.
