Robotized Deburring
You've heard the saying "deburring is a tedious job..." ‑ why not automate it?
Fastems' DBL (Deburring and Loading Cell) is a modular robot cell designed for deburring and automatic loading applications. Deburring, which often is a dusty, noisy, unconfortable and repetitive task becomes a thing of the past. And simultaneously, the deburring quality, which often varies significantly with manual deburring, can be consistant and easily maintained at the required level. The DBL can be used as a stand-alone unit or it can be integrated with a flexible manufacturing system (FMS).

Innovative concept:
Consists in spraying a fluid (water or oil) at a pressure between 300 and 3500 bar (4,400 to 50,700 psi), depending on the material to be deburred.
It removes burrs left after the machining process, and allows cleaning of the surface of the parts.

Flexible, precise and efficient – even with changing task definitions
Short product life cycles make high demands on the flexibility of deburring machines. The perfect solution: modular KADIA deburring robot cells ensure simple adaptation to varying tasks and parts.
Flexibility to the ultimate
The make of robot used can be freely selected by the customer
Parts are fed in by roller conveyor or gantry system, depending on customer preference
Designed to customer requirement for dry or wet operation with oil or emulsion
Different system concepts depending on workpiece size and cycle time
Combinable with conventional transfer deburring machines to form hybrid deburring systems. This possibility extends the processing flexibility of the robot with the advantages of axis guided machines (short cycle times, exact positioning for long travel distances etc.)

Very High Pressure, by water or oil jet : is used when the parts to be deburred are made of relatively soft materials. In such a case, the pressure is of 250 to 1000 bar. This technology gives greater importance to the fluid flow rate.
Example of materials : aluminium alloys, copper, brass, plastic by-products
Example of parts : pump bodies in the automotive industry, interior parts of watch mecanisms, locks parts, mechanical parts made of materials such as described above.
Specific dedicated equipments : Triplex pump : with flow rate up to 30 l/min, deburring heads with fix and/or rotating jet.
Ultra High Pressure by water or oil jet : is used when the parts to be deburred are made of relatively hard materials. In this case, the pressure is of 1000 to 3500 bar. This technology gives greater importance to the fluid pressure.
Example of materials : stainless steel, heat-treated steels...
Example of parts : injectors in the automotive industry, mechanical parts, outer parts of watch mechanisms...
Specific dedicated equipments : Ultra High Pressure pump : with pressure up to 3500 bar and flow rate up to 5 l/min ; deburring heads with fix jet.

With the installation of filling to coordinates km No, FRICKE presents another innovation which defines new standards.
Realized in construction of stainless steel robust and prepared for the automatic control of hole of plug, this installation, in addition to the precise filling étalonnable, guarantees to you before a a whole thing: a high efficiency. Because while on the usual machines the container is led to the valve, in the case of the installation with coordinates km No, it is exactly the opposite! That means immense time-savings, in particular for fillings of pallets of different containers. The relatively light valves move at an enormous speed and are cleaned easily and quickly because of the fact that they comprise only three parts having a direct contact with the product. Times of change of equipment are reduced thus to a minimum.
Other advantages: the filling is carried out almost without foam and is also appropriate for critical products. The follow-up of integrated level guarantees a rising of the valve here corresponding to the rise of the level of filling. And independently of the size of the container and the quantity, all the operations are memorized and available on call. What appears complicated is however realizable by a person in three stages only:
to position the pallet (in lower part of the installation)
to document the positions of the containers by "teach in"
to start the process of filling

Is one of the most versatile proposals, thanks to the use of an anthropomorphic robot with six axis of movement, implemented in a polishing island with "intellingent" units and a suitable warehouse it is possible to obtain high qualities and precision.
The working is executed on brushes or abrasive belts by a robot that faithfully replaces the man, taking the pieces to be worked from the appropriate loader and carrying out the working cycle on the polishing stations.
the polishing groups are realisable according to many parameters and characteristics, but also the model and the amount of installed robots changes depending on the working requirements.
Who chooses a system of this type wants to obtain a finish on productions not too much high or must work pieces of particularly complex shape. In contrary case he is well to take in consideration the alternative rotary table.
