46 minutes, including live Q&A. Presented by Troy Kirby, Production Manager, and Kevin Meister, Application Specialist. Originally presented as a Gear Technology webinar.
What's covered
A full deburring cycle on a cluster gear, narrated shot by shot: OD, tooth flanks, tooth ends. Behind it, the pneumatic compliant platform developed over four years. Offset and pressure adjustment, wheel-wear compensation, and media selection.
Results on our own floor: scrap from 10% to 1%, throughput doubled
A live no-code teaching demo, unedited
Production setup of an OB7 tending 1965-era hobbing machines
Open table versus enclosed cell, including lead times
Live Q&A on minimum practical batch size, high-mix shops, and collaborative speed limits
Your speakers
Troy Kirby, Production Manager for Productive Robotics, designed our force-controlled deburring system using our own OB7 cobots and walks through it here: the setup, the force-control features, and the results. He is joined by Kevin Meister, Application Specialist at Productive Robotics. Kevin has helped over 100 manufacturers automate processes from welding to deburring.
OB7 cobot deburring runs daily on our shop floor with double the throughput and scrap reduced from 10% to 1% compared to our old manual deburring.
