DEBURRING
COBOT DEBURRING
Collaborative robots provide consistent, nonstop operation. They work just like a human operator which is the key to quickly applying an OB7 to handle your deburring operation no matter how large or small. Often deburring is a secondary operation that drains manpower and commits resources that are better used in other areas. However, by simply teaching OB7 to perform a manual deburring task just as the operator would, you can have a robot complete the process without delay while improving quality, consistency and safety.
OB7 can "present" a part shape to a deburring wheel or it can load and unload a more elaborate system for chamfer or deburr. Light deburring or heavy, simply show OB7 the number of passes through its learning mode and it will perform exactly as commanded. Speed, number of passes, and over 360 degrees of rotation can all be applied with ease, and with 7 axis, OB7 can maneuver to suit more complex shapes. With the ability to relocate and bring OB7 online quickly, you can begin work in minutes and let OB7 run 24/7 if needed.

DEBURRING COBOT BENEFIT AND USES
OB7 next generation cobots offer a vast range of benefits for deburring:
-
24/7 ‘Lights Out’ operation: With collaborative robots in place, equipment can run around the clock, with “lights-out” operation to maximize uptime and equipment ROI. Employees need not check on the cobot until the start of the next shift or operation.
-
Optimized Efficiency and Quality: OB7 cobots will complete the required actions with high repeatability and efficiency, eliminating scraps caused by human error. OB7 does not have to be programmed, but can simply be physically moved into position by the operator.
-
Enhanced Productivity: Your workers remain your most valuable and impactful assets. With cobots completing dirty, dull, dangerous tasks, those employees have more time to spend on higher-value, more impactful and innovative tasks — the ones that cannot be completed by robots.
-
Ultimate Flexibility: OB7 can be easily moved, set up and integrated with nearly any machine in the facility. This flexibility and versatility yield a much higher ROI than stationary robots that must be extensively programmed for use with one piece of equipment.
-
Increased worker safety: Some cobots are used for other processes such as holding tools and parts for a consistent, high-quality — and safer — operation. By completing these tasks with cobots, your personnel are further removed from some of the most dangerous processes in the facility.
