Deburring/Inspection Composite Equipment

Industry: Automobile / Mechanical parts

Process: Inspection, Deburring

Actuators: ISCA4 \| Controller: XSEL

The multi-slider type orthogonal robot of the NS series has been adopted as equipment to remove burrs from machine parts.

One of the two Y-axes is used to deburr the parts, and the other with a camera attached is used to check if the deburring was successful.

By simultaneously processing and inspecting parts, it was possible to make the line compact.

In addition, it is possible to reduce labor expenses and stabilize quality by automating the tasks that had been done manually.

Process: Cutting

Actuators: RCS2-SA7C-A-60-16-900 x2

In a packing machine, ROBO Cylinder was adopted for equipment that cuts packaging film to a set length.

As shown in the illustration above, two ROBO Cylinders are used to grab both ends of the film and send it out for cutting.

When air cylinders were used, it was not possible to synchronize the two, and film damage happened.

With the ROBO Cylinder, the synchronous function of the SSEL controller can be used to prevent film damage.

Industry: Electronic Components

Process: Inspection

Actuators: RCL-RA, TT-A2 (built-in controller)

The table top robot TT series and the Micro Cylinder RCL series have been adopted as inspection equipment for buttons on electronics.

First, the Micro Cylinder RCL performs a push motion to measure the height of the switch on the electronic device.

Then a set distance is moved back and forth to push every switch.

Previously, when using an electromagnetic solenoid, the z-axis had to be adjusted every time the product type changed.

The manual labor has been reduced after switching to the RCL.

Process: Press-fitting

Functions used: Positioning and Pushing

ROBO Cylinder® was adopted for equipment that performs both processes of applying silicon to a printed circuit board and press-fitting a cover.

While the printed circuit board is moved with the RCP3-SA5R on the bottom, the coating and press-fitting are performed with the RCA2-TW4N on the top.

Automating a manual process has doubled the production efficiency.

Also, the changeover became easy whenever the workpiece changed, which reduced the amount of man hours necessary.
