KUKA removal robots get rid of edges for plastics industry

In the plas­tics indus­try, mate­r­i­al removal robots are need­ed to get rid of unsight­ly edges that are left over dur­ing the mold­ing process. KUKA removal robots are used for sev­er­al of these removal applications.

One plas­tics indus­try man­u­fac­tur­ing using KUKA robot­ic removal makes plas­tic tobog­gans and child seats. KUKA stat­ed that once the work piece comes out of the blow mold­ing process, there are plen­ty of burs on the edges that need to be smoothed and evened out.

Debur­ring, one of the many KUKA removal robot­ic appli­ca­tions, has to be applied to these pieces to make them uni­form. With­out this KUKA removal process, oth­er pieces that have to be fit into the seat or tobog­gan may not fit, which could cause dam­age to the entire product.

Uni­for­mi­ty is impor­tant for plas­tic pieces, which is why many plas­tics indus­try man­u­fac­tur­ers turn to KUKA removal robot sys­tems. These robots pro­vide con­sis­ten­cy and speed that aren’t achiev­able through man­u­al applications.

These removal robots from KUKA are high­ly flex­i­ble. They can per­form sev­er­al dif­fer­ent removal process­es like debur­ring, drilling and cut­ting with just a sim­ple change to their end-of-arm-tool­ing. This means that one robot can do the job of sev­er­al machines or dif­fer­ent work sta­tions on the line, cut­ting down on equip­ment costs for manufacturers.

When you’re look­ing for a mate­r­i­al removal robot from an indus­try leader, KUKA removal robots are one of the most viable options for your process.
