Orsan Ops: They Use Robots to Catch Up with the World Leaders.

Using packaging and welding robots in their production lines according to their cooperation with Tezmaksan Makine, Orsan is a significant equipment supplier to newly developing Turkish automotive industry. Answering to our questions during our factory visit, Mr Ahmet Erküçük, General Manager of the Company stated that they invested in robotics both for meeting quantities and reducing labor. Currently, a total of 220 people is working as white and blue collar; 182 of them are blue-collar and 38 of white-collar. Our current annual capacity is 360 thousand steel and aluminum tubes and 250 thousand brake cylinders.

Currently, we use CNC processing robots, packaging and welding robots that we have activated. Other than welding robots, we use processing robots that we bought from Tezmaksan. We use Fanuc and ABB robots. We have 5 robots in total.

Mercedes currently has an important project; they have requested from our steel and aluminum tubes for their buses and trucks. Besides, MAN has a high-target project: “10 thousand Buses to Turkey”.

Yes, we invested in robots both to meet quantities and reduce labor. We have a high rate of labor due to union activities and we would like to use robotics technologies to decrease this rate. It has been 10 years since we shifted to robotic systems.

We previously bought machines from Tezmaksan and we thought why not work together for this project. Our progress in this project was smooth and fast. We proceeded on our way in terms of both price and application, as well as being a solution to our need and we handled our project successfully and put it into operation.

Yes we have, we evaluated alternatives. Our machines were bought through a tendering process and with government incentives. We have chosen a company with which we can work smoothly. They also provided financial support. In fact, Tezmaksan was always ready to make the installation for us. As our project has certain stages, they made the installation following our direction. They delivered in a truly short time. 2 x Fanuc robots are installed to feed parts of CNCs.
