Robot cell eliminates manual deburring
chore
Robotic deburring cell eliminates dusty and noisy working conditions and repetitive movements in unpleasant positions associated with manual deburring, which also often resulted in poor work.
Robotic deburring cell eliminates dusty and noisy working conditions and repetitive movements in unpleasant positions associated with traditional manual deburring, which also often resulted in poor or variable quality Automation is the answer, as Fastems demonstrated with its new DBL robotic deburring cell at EMO 2003

FMS features flexible fixture storage
Coventry-based Viasystems has installed a new, flexible manufacturing system (FMS) for machining the front and rear extrusions that go into electronic equipment racks.
The robot removes burrs efficiently and to a consistent, selectable quality standard, allowing operators to concentrate on other tasks.
DBL is a standard, modular system built to provide a customer with the best solution.
The cell can work as a stand-alone unit or as a part of an FMS, as shown at the exhibition.
It can be installed in a day and moved from one place to another easily if the factory layout changes.
The cell is equally appropriate for medium or large batch production as it is for repetitive production of large single pieces that require a lot of deburring.
It is possible to use CAD geometry of the component to program the deburring cycle, rather than having to create the program using the teach-in method.
The result is faster programming, which may take place in advance of a physical part becoming available.
