Robo Feed C20 Mobile Collaborative Gear Cell

+ 30% more orders and production

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

Automation of the loading/unloading of a machine tool for machining gears and pinions

Goals

  • automation of a machine tool
  • compact and mobile solution without protective nets
  • reduced cycle time

Spiral Ingranaggi srl, part of the TFM group and specialised in the production of gears for various industrial sectors, needed a compact automated solution to optimise the loading and unloading process of a GLEASON machine tool. The main objective was to reduce the cycle time from 3 minutes to 120 seconds, while maintaining high safety standards for their employees.

Solution: Robo Feed C20 Custom

After the first meeting between the customer and our technical team, the Robo Feed C20 Custom solution was identified as the most suitable to meet the requirements and objectives.
The system chosen included the FANUC CRX-10iA/L collaborative robot, with a load capacity of 10 kg. This customised version of the Robo Feed C20 was designed to integrate seamlessly into the machine shop, improving both production efficiency and operational safety.
Compared to the standard C20 solution, this time the island itself has some differences.

The features of the
Robo Feed C20 Custom

In this specific case, the CRX10iA/L collaborative robot was installed on a pedestal fixed to the floor, positioned to the side with respect to the machine front to ensure maximum accessibility during retooling and maintenance operations.
The trolley becomes in effect a mobile warehouse with retractable legs, equipped with ‘zero points’ for quick and precise repositioning after each move. This layout allows operators to pick up parts without interrupting the production cycle and in total safety.

Elements of the C20 robot cell warehouse

Mobile warehouse

with support frame for the customer's customised trays, intended for storing unmachined and machined parts. In order to be able to take advantage of even the largest customer tray, pivots have been inserted to position it and make it stable. A retraining station was installed above the trolley to facilitate the robot in correctly gripping the workpiece and loading it into the machine for machining.
