[INQ. NO. 2608M12] Aetech Co., Ltd. has come up with an innovative method to resolve labor shortages in resource-recycling operations by deploying AI-based robots.
Aetech Co., Ltd. participated in NextRise 2026, the largest startup fair in Asia, held at COEX in Seoul from June 18 to 19, and showcased ATRON, an AI-based resource-sorting robot.
Regarding ATRON, which operates based on 5.5 million data points collected from 24 locations nationwide, an Aetech spokesperson explained, “It demonstrates 99.3% accuracy and processes up to 96 pieces per minute, and sorts a total of nine types of sortable waste, including PET and PP.”

Composed mainly of a vision box and a robotic arm, ATRON recognizes the various types of waste by using sensors mounted on the vision box, and the robotic arm performs the task of sorting the waste into precise locations based on the recognized types.
Aetech developed ATRON based on deep learning to enable it to perform these tasks, ranging from waste-location detection and classification, to plastic component analysis, object- tracking on conveyors, and statistical analysis of waste data.
According to Aetech, ATRON has increased sorting speed by up to 240% and reduced working time by 126%. This has therefore resulted in a 279% reduction in sorting costs and a decrease of 860 kg in daily carbon emissions.
“Working at recycling sorting facilities is perceived as a ‘3D job’ (dirty, dangerous, and difficult), leading to severe labor shortages; however, ATRON can help resolve this issue. Currently, about 35 units have been sold domestically, and we plan to proceed with exports to Japan in the second half of the year,” remarked the company spokesperson.
Aetech’s various AI and robotics-based resource-recycling solutions are being manufactured to increase resource-recovery rates by more than double compared to the rates of the existing waste-treatment industry.
As the quality of recyclables improves and the amount of waste incinerated or landfilled decreases due to the company’s products with improved sorting accuracy, it is expected to contribute to promoting the circular economy by reducing waste-treatment costs and carbon emissions.

Non-Contact Dry Cleaning System

August 26, 2026 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2608M04] Removing fine foreign particles is a critical task that determines yield in display- and battery-manufacturing processes.
As processes advance ‒ such as larger panels and the realization of high resolution ‒ the importance of particle-removal equipment has grown. In this context, Korea’s AF ONE CO., LTD. has presented a non-contact dry cleaning system developed in-house.
AF ONE participated in K-Display 2026, recently held at COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul, and demonstrated its proprietary cleaning brand, BUSC. This system is designed for a non-contact method that eliminates physical friction with the substrate.
The company’s CEO explained, “Unlike the ultrasonic or whirling methods primarily adopted by existing overseas equipment, we have improved cleaning performance by independently developing a ‘blow-up’ method that compresses internal air and sprays it through dual nozzles.”
A specially designed head shoots gas to detach foreign particles, while a controller sucks them in to prevent particle scattering. The CEO added, “We implemented a system through fluid analysis so that foreign substances are immediately sucked in without being blown away, even when air is blown downwards.”
The system can be customized for various shapes, including flat substrates, 4D curved surfaces, roll-to-roll surfaces, and metal masks.

Dual Parallel-link Robot Arm

August 26, 2026 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2608M03] While semiconductors and displays use silicon and glass, respectively, as substrates, they share a common characteristic: they involve the repetition of complex etching and coating processes in a vacuum.
Consequently, robots deployed in these processes require high precision and fast operational performance.
T-ROBOTICS, a company specializing in robotics, exhibited a dual parallel-link robot arm reflecting market demands at K-Display 2026.
This product, which also won the nation’s Minister’s Award at the K-Display Awards held in conjunction with the exhibition, fundamentally eliminates arm sagging and vibration. This enables precise and rapid transportation of objects weighing up to 240 kg even in high-temperature environments of up to 500°C and high vacuum conditions.
In particular, it was designed with a minimized turning radius to reduce the space required for installation at manufacturing sites, and it incorporates sealing technology to maintain the vacuum environment ‒ as well as outgassing suppression technology to prevent the release of minute gases.

A spokesperson for the company explained, “Inside the chambers where display processing takes place, there are environmental factors that are difficult to manage, including toxic gases. Our technology’s outstanding feature is that it rapidly moves substrates through very narrow doorways using only the robot’s fingers.”
According to the company, by applying dual parallel link technology, fluctuations can be reduced by half even when the same force is applied. The length of the robot arm can be adjusted from 3 to 7 meters, depending on the size of the robot.
T-ROBOTICS was originally a company that developed vacuum robots for semiconductors, and it began manufacturing display robots in 2007 as well, currently holding 10 domestic and 33 international patents.
Currently, there are three companies worldwide that produce display-related robots, including T-ROBOTICS, a company that remains strong in the fields of Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). T-ROBOTICS plans to continue targeting areas where other companies are strong in the future.
