has been designing deburring robot cells based on six-axis industrial robots for years. The company has added a Machining-Robot-Cell option to its collection of offerings, which includes deburring robots that can perform additional processing.
The company says its experience with automation solutions with robots has positioned it to easily become a supplier for robot-assisted mechanical processing.
The company’s six-axis industrial robot is suitable for a range of machining technologies: drilling, milling, thread cutting and the like; dry, wet or using minimal lubrication. It enables all exposed sides of a cubic workpiece to be easily reached. In addition, a robot can alternately pick up grippers and tools and is therefore suitable for multifunctional scenarios.
The limitation of a robot for mechanical processing is its comparatively low rigidity. It cannot offer the repeatability of precision guides available on a machining center. Its use is therefore well suited for applications with correspondingly large tolerances and small chip depths. The programming can compensate for deviations from the ideal path at the reversal points within certain limits.
The company says the cell’s operation is simple, as it is designed for usability. Users do not need advanced CNC programming capability or robotic expertise. According to the Kadia, only one master point is defined for each machining detail. This is easy to correct. The approach paths and transition movements to the next feature are predefined. Every process-relevant dimension on the workpiece can be read in plain text from the drawing. If a workpiece is out of tolerance, the operator can quickly and easily correct the corresponding workpiece and tool coordinates on their own.
