Robo Feed A30 Robotic cell for E-bike gears

+40% efficiency and productivity

SECTOR:

Metalmechanical

Location:

Padua, Italy

CUSTOMER

Spiral Ingranaggi srl, a company specialising in the production of gears for various industrial sectors and part of the TFM group

REQUIREMENT

CNC machine tool for the production of 5 different types of pinions, using a Gleason L11006 gear hobbing machine

OBJECTIVES

Spiral Ingranaggi srl’s decision to integrate our RoboFeed A30 Plug&Play into its machine park was motivated by the need to optimise space, without compromising the safety of its employees, and allowing the robot to work in perfect synergy with the machine tool, achieving a cycle time of 90 seconds. In this specific case, due to the limited space and to ensure safety, it was decided not to insert barriers around the island, but to take advantage of Sick’s laser scanner.

Solution: RoboFeed A30 Plug&Play

After the first meeting with the customer, the technical team found the RoboFeed A30 to be the most appropriate choice to be able to respond and achieve the objectives set, using the FANUC robot, M10iD/12, weighing 12 kg to be able to process all five types of parts.

The RoboFeed A30 features:

The RoboFeed A30 is a plug-and-play, robotic solution with a tower warehouse with drawers integrated into the structure, a double bay for loading and unloading parts without machine downtime and a FANUC M10iD/12 anthropomorphic robot for servicing the CNC machine tool.
We enhanced our production by integrating a range of accessories that gave the RoboFeed Spiral a unique identity.

Double wrist

with pneumatic gripper with three jaws and workpiece pushing system for loading into the machine.

Centrifuge station

to remove oil residue after machining in the machining centre.

I am very satisfied with the performance of the robot island. The efficiency and precision with which it operates is really good. The team has done an incredible job in implementing and managing this system, demonstrating an operability that allows us to achieve pre-determined levels of productivity. I recommend RoboFeed to companies that want to innovate and bring added value!
