Project Title

Robotic Grinding Cell

Finished Product

Hand Tool

Project Description

Automated material handling and grinding operation for three (3) different part types. A six-axis floor mounted robot transfers parts from an inbound carrier to the grinding station. The robot performs a dedicated grinding profile on each part with compliance in the end-effect and grinding belt to account for part-to-part tolerances. Completed parts are loaded to an outbound carrier. Operator interface panel allows for easy selection of multiple standard part setup recipes and quantities.

Features

  • Flexible robotic handling and grinding operations
  • Easy operator batch load & unload of parts
  • Average Part-to-Part cycle time of 20 seconds
  • Automatic machine stop upon lot completion

Benefits

  • Fully automated grinding process
  • Improved part consistency
  • Eliminated unsafe handling of parts during grinding
  • Increased production throughput
