Grinding or airplane interior composite materials
PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
- grinding composite materials of aircraft interiors is a tedious process that is mostly done by hand due to the sensitivity of the composite materials, a great experience of the sander is required in order to process the workpieces in a proper way
- ensure grinding of the surfaces of composite materials while maintaining a constant force on the surface
- simple exchange of workpieces
- simple exchange of sanding paper
- simple workpiece jig replacement
- simple to use user interface for operators
SOLUTION
- 6-axis KUKA industrial robot
- system for regulating the force on the surface to achieve extremely high surface quality & repeatability
- a simple and robust manual system for sanding paper exchange
- offline trajectory planning
- creation of routines for simple interruption of the cycle and automatic exit of the robot from any position in case of interruption
- SIEMENS PLC & HMI system for monitoring the robotic cell
- simple workpiece exchange
