Excess Material Removal Station
Problem
The client needs to eliminate excess material during the manufacturing of parts, which is done through upset forging. The excess material generates unsafe conditions when handling pieces, which may result in injury or death to the operators.
Solution
The new automated machining station consists of a transfer table with an implemented Keyence system that positions parts in a way that allows the robot to take it and identify any surplus material. If any excess material is present, the robot will place the part in a plasma system, remove said material, and deposit the part in a rack.
