NAME Robotic deburring cell and superfinishing technology

DESCRIPTION

Robotic polishing and deburring system, equipped with force control. Many testing tools can be installed. It has a structured blue light measuring system. Components can be large, up to 1.5 m in diameter. Multi-sensor coordinate measuring machines with granite table with 3+2 and 5-axis measuring capability for measurement under stable laboratory conditions. It is capable of measuring by point-to-point contact sensors, in scanning mode, measuring with optical scanner with 3 laser beams with 17µm accuracy and 60mm scanning window. Measurement software installed are MCOSMOS, MODUS, MSURF with the possibility of off-line programming. Machines are equipped with automatic stylus change and a complete set of different stylus types, lengths and materials. Machines are equipped with workpiece and axis temperature probes for monitoring and error compensation. The cell is completed with an Alicona 5U roughness tester for scanning and measuring high precision cutting tools.
