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
