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
