Deburring, Cutting, Grinding

Overview

EFORT Deburring solutions automate deburring, cutting, grinding and material-removal processes for cast, forged and machined components.

The cell architecture is configured according to component material, geometry, weight, required finishing quality and production cycle.

Customer value

Robotic finishing improves process consistency and reduces reliance on manual operations involving abrasive tools, sharp edges, dust, vibration and heavy parts.

The automation concept can be used either by the robot to manipulate the component or the robot to manipulate the process tool, depending on accessibility and process requirements.

Key capabilities

• Robotic deburring;
• Cutting and material removal;
• Grinding and surface finishing;
• Dedicated process tools and end-effectors;
• Part-handling and tool-handling configurations;
• Vision-assisted positioning;
• Flexible fixtures for different component families;
• Standardized or customized finishing-cell concepts.

Typical applications

Castings, gears, motor housings, cast-iron parts, aluminum components, heavy industrial components and machined products.

Engineering and process validation

The process can be developed using simulation and offline robot programming to verify accessibility, trajectories, tool orientation and expected station operation before installation.
