Robo Feed C20 CUSTOM Mobile collaborative cell for shredding knives

+35% productivity and increased orders

SECTOR:

Metalmechanical

Location:

Castellarano (RE), Italia

CUSTOMER

HT srl, a company specialising in the production of parts for agricultural machinery.

REQUIREMENT

Set up two DOOSAN MYNX 6500/50II machining centres dedicated to milling, a single mobile collaborative robotic island to be moved as required.

OBJECTIVES

HT srl decided to integrate our RoboFeed C20 Custom into its machine park. This choice was motivated by the need to optimise the milling process of two machining centres, without compromising the space and safety of its own employees, thus being able to use a single robotized island on two different machining centres.

Solution: RoboFeed C20 Custom

After the first meeting with the customer, the technical team found the RoboFeed C20 robot island the most appropriate choice to be able to respond and achieve the objectives set, using the FANUC 10 kg Cobot, CRX10iA/L, to be able to process all types of parts.

The RoboFeed C20 Custom Features:

The RoboFeed C20 is a Plug&Play, mobile collaborative robotic solution, arranged on a trolley, with retractable legs, equipped with ‘zero points’ for quick and precise repositioning after each move.
In order to optimise efficiency and improve production processes, our technical team designed specific jigs for each workpiece, together with two OnRobot double grippers: one with two magnetic grippers and the other with two jaw grippers. Both wrists are equipped with a blowing system to clean both the machined parts and the machine grips. In addition, the Customo RoboFeed C20 includes an option for quick wrist change, both robot-side and gripper-side, to provide greater flexibility and versatility during operations.

Barriers for a collaborative cell

To ensure safety when handling workpieces with sharp and angular contours, we have installed protective nets on the sides and light curtains on the front. These measures allow easy access to the operator in total safety.

Functioning of the photoelectric cells

The photoelectric cells are activated as soon as the robot starts to move. When the operator enters the area to pick up the machined parts and deposit the blanks, the robot stops, while the machine tool continues its machining cycle. Outside, in an easily accessible position, a push-button panel has also been installed that includes an emergency button, a button to request access and a button for resetting after access.

Customised pallets with integrated jigs

To optimise efficiency and reduce machining time, we designed an innovative system for positioning materials on the C20 table. This system involves the use of easy-to-handle customised pallets with integrated jigs that enable stable and secure placement of blanks or machined parts. The process is simple: we have provided the customer with two pallets, one containing the workpieces, positioned on the workbench, and the other located outside the work area waiting. This allows the operator to make the exchange efficiently and without interruption. Once the machining of a pallet is complete, the operator will be able to enter the work area and exchange pallets without difficulty. Thanks to this system, we guarantee greater autonomy and a significant reduction in loading and unloading times, allowing for smoother, uninterrupted production.

Mechanical parts for the machining centres:

We did not stop at supplying the robot and its components, but also took care of the integration of complementary mechanical parts on the tables of the two machining centres, such as the AUTOBLOK pneumatic vices, to ensure optimal operation of the CNC machine tools.

  • Magnetic Gripper: MG10 ONROBOT

I would like to express my complete satisfaction with the robot island installed in our machine park. Thanks to its efficiency and precision, we have noticed a significant improvement in our production cycle time. Furthermore, I would like to praise the assistance provided after the installation. The team was extremely professional and helpful in making additional improvements to optimise performance. Thanks to your innovative technology and attentive support, we were able to increase our productivity significantly. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to other companies looking for advanced industrial automation solutions.
