DEBURRING ROBOT FOR AUTOMATED MACHINES

GEBE2, an EMPOWERING TECHNOLOGIES’ sister company, for instance, provides deburring robot with advanced options such as tool changers, automatic parts delivery, offline programming, and vision systems. These types of customizations offer versatile solutions for manufacturers in various sectors.

We are deploying automated deburring machines that mimic the careful movements of skilled operators. Using either abrasives or cutting tools, these robots are equipped with rotary and linear effectors capable of achieving speeds and applying forces that manual labor cannot match.

To further enhance productivity, our deburring robots are equipped with automatic tool-changing systems, enabling them to switch between  sanding effectors or cutting tools as needed, without human intervention. This boosts both performance and autonomy in the deburring automation.

The cells are also equipped with a customized abrasive and cutting tool magazine (horizontal, vertical, rotative…) to meet perfectly the production needs.

A key factor in ensuring the quality and consistency of robotic deburring, chamfering, and edge-rounding is the regularity of the tool’s motion over the part. GEBE2 addresses this with our offline programming software (OLP), which enables the creation and simulation of precise tool paths. This guarantees smooth, repeatable results and allows for maximum control over the deburring automation .

In various industries, from automotive and aerospace to manufacturing and heavy equipment, deburring is a critical process that ensures the quality and functionality of parts. Burrs, which are small imperfections or rough edges left on a piece after cutting, milling, or casting, can affect the overall performance of a part, causing issues such as misalignment, wear, and safety hazards.

Eliminating these imperfections is essential to maintain the precision, durability, and safety of components.

Cutting Tool Deburring

The cutting tool deburring process is applied to metal or composite parts to convert sharp edges into chamfers with precise geometry and controlled tolerances.
