𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮 - 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰: 𝗔 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Our second top post from 2024 spotlights this 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻!   A manufacturer of steel rolled rings was faced with a demanding manual finishing process. Each ring varying in size and weighing up to 285 lbs. required a flash weld to be removed for further processing. Operators used handheld angle grinders to manually remove these welds, leading to fatigue and high turnover.    This repeatable robotic solution resolved many of these challenges! Bulk pallets of steel rings are presented to the FANUC America Corporation R-2000iC/270F robot via a roller conveyor. A 3D vision system is used to identify the ring location and orientation for the robot pick. A powerful hydraulic EOAT gripper selects a part, and a KEYENCE CORPORATION laser identifies the flash weld's dimension, location, and geometry. Dual 10 HP Acme-compliant abrasive belt heads grind the OD and ID of each ring to a specific witness. After the grinding sequence, the finished parts are re-palletized.    To learn more about robotic grinding visit: https://lnkd.in/eURq9aCy #YearInReview #roboticprocessautomation #robotics  #automationengineering #MaterialRemoval #FoundryAutomation

𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰: 𝗔 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 As 2024 begins to wind down, we’re taking a moment to revisit some of our top posts from the year—one each day this week! Thank you for being part of our journey, following along, and engaging with us throughout the year. To kick off the week, we’re spotlighting 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗭𝗶𝗻𝗰 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀—an application that enhances efficiency, consistency, and safety in this manufacturing process. This turnkey dual robot system is capable of deflashing 7 varieties of castings with speed and repeatability! Understanding The Robotic Finishing Process:  1. Raw parts are freely presented on an indexing conveyor belt. 2. FANUC America Corporation iR 2D Vision identifies part orientation and picks parts with a SCHUNK - Hand in hand for tomorrow parallel pneumatic gripper. ATI Industrial Automation automatic tool change modules automatically change the grippers on demand. 3. To achieve the required finish, the 18-30 second finishing sequence uses coated abrasive belts on Acme-designed servo-controlled front floating dual contact wheel heads. 4. Castings are placed back on the conveyor belt. Stay tuned as we continue sharing the highlights from 2024! #YearInReview #roboticprocessautomation #robotics  #automationengineering #MaterialRemoval

𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 A leading hand tool manufacturer was looking for a robotic grinding system to minimize the manual labor required to finish their parts. While the system’s labor reduction provided an immediate and compelling ROI, the benefits didn’t stop there – the system also improved finish consistency, reduced abrasive media consumption, and maintained steady production throughput. These parts required a parting line to be removed at an impressive 50-second cycle time.  𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: - Unfinished parts are loaded on the conveyor belt  - 2D vision locates parts on a backlit section of the conveyor belt - A FANUC America Corporation LRMate 200iD robot picks a single part using a SCHUNK - Hand in hand for tomorrow gripper  - Parts are presented to the Acme-compliant abrasive belt grinding head for parting line removal  - The grinding sequence takes place, and parts are re-gripped to reach all surfaces - Finished parts are dropped into an exit chute bin Learn more about Acme’s expertise in robotic material removal: https://lnkd.in/eURq9aCy #RoboticGrinding #RoboticProcessAutomation #RoboticMaterialRemoval #FANUC #HandtoolIndustry #Robotics #Automation
