Robotic deburring depends on whether the selected tool can approach each edge, maintain suitable contact and move clear of the part. Use these seven checks to review complex metal parts before choosing a cell.
Robotic polishing abrasive selection affects material removal, scratch patterns, tool life and final appearance. Learn how to compare abrasive belts, non-woven tools and polishing wheels, develop a suitable grit sequence and validate the process with representative metal parts.
A polished part needs to meet more than a visual expectation. Learn how to define surface finish acceptance criteria, agree inspection methods and check consistency before approving a robotic polishing process.
One robotic polishing cell can serve several compatible part models when the tooling, programs and finishing process are planned together. Learn how to define model-specific setups, measure changeover time, confirm the first finished part and account for product switching in production capacity.
A repeatable robot path cannot deliver a repeatable finish if the workpiece shifts, flexes or hides an area that needs polishing. This guide explains seven fixture and gripper checks to make before validating a robotic finishing cell.
In a robotic polishing cell, the robot can carry the workpiece to stationary finishing stations or carry the finishing tool around a fixed workpiece. This guide explains how part size, payload, reach, force control, fixtures and cycle time affect the choice.
