PerfectEdge Robotic Finishing Solution Performs Tight Tolerance Chamfering and Deburring
October 14, 2010
Designed in collaboration with Arrow Gear, it includes a six-axis MotomanDX1350D industrial robotand a precision indexer with hollow chuck controlled by a Yaskawa Sigma-5 servomotor for fixturing shafted gears.
The cell has an eight-slotprotected tool holder and an Alfred Jaeger spindle that provides the muscle,speed control and holding torque to perform the most demanding tasks. PerfectEdgehas the capacity to process 20 inch diameter by 10 inch cylindrical parts. Designedon a common base with fork pockets, PerfectEdge can easily be deployed orrelocated.
Programming is easy with menu-drivenmaterial removal software. Motoman Robotics' powerful G-Code/PointsImporter off-line programming software drives the robot from your part data. G-Codeconverter translates the CAM file into programs that are downloaded to therobot controller. PerfectEdge then provides consistent, predictable results,part after part.
The PerfectEdge cell features a polycarbonate andaluminum full safety enclosure with electrically interlocked access doors. Aparticle and fume extraction system is included, making PerfectEdge easy toconnect to an air handling system. Repetitive stress injuries and operatorfatigue are eliminated, reducing scrap rates and improving safety. It iscompliant to ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999 and other relevant ISO and CSA safetystandards. A CE compliant version is available upon request.
