Precision deburring of machined components is a strenuous and boring job for operators. VMC’s and HMC’s can produce components in large numbers and all of these components require deburring before assembly. Deburring can also be completed using the same machines, but it is inefficient to utilize expensive machines for post process operations.
Typically manual deburring requires the use of multiple tools such as pneumatic rotary tool, files, hand scrapers, reamers, countersinks and abrasive pads. Operators have to follow a particular sequence to get the required results and aesthetics.
6 axis robots equipped with high speed spindles and tool changers are perfectly suited for precision deburring applications
We have developed a unique solution for precision deburring
- Specialized compliant spindle with tool changer and speed variation from 3000 to 30000 RPM
- Customized fixturing with a magnetic table for quick component changeover
- Flexibility to use tools from silicon carbide and aluminium brushes that require low speed operation to tungsten carbide burrs that require to run at high speeds
- Dual stations for improved efficiency
BENEFITS OF ROBOTIC DEBURRING
- Consistent results and improved aesthetics of the end product
- Eliminates dull and repetitive job for the operator
- Complex shapes can be easily deburred
- Offline programming using simulation software to increase robot utilization
- Consistent and uniform force can be applied for precise material finishing
