Grinding of bathtubs

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

  • sanding bathroom tubs is a tedious process that is mostly done manually. Manual work cannot maintain the quality of the final surface, due to operator fatigue and deconcentration
  • minimize the cycle time
  • provide a solution with automatic sanding paper exchange
  • to ensure the quality of sanding the surfaces of bathroom tubs while maintaining a constant force on the surface being processed
  • simple workpiece exchange
  • simple user interface

 

SOLUTION

  • 6-axis ABB industrial robot with synchronized rotary table
  • using a system for regulating the force on the surface, extremely high surface quality and repeatability of the process is achieved
  • automatic sanding paper change system with 4 paper magazines and automatic checking of the paper removal and placement using an advanced vision system
  • using the same paper change system for two robots
  • offline software for generating grinding paths (CAM)
  • each program can be loaded onto any of 6 robot cells
  • simple procedure for returning the robot to its initial position from any point without any collision risks
  • SIEMENS safety PLC system for monitoring the robotic cell
  • SIEMENS HMI adapted to technology and customer requirements for intuitive and simple use of the robotic cell
  • built-in VPN client for remote access and support
  • simple workpiece exchange
