Robotic Spindling

Auto­mat­ed spin­dling can pro­duce a more con­sis­tent, pre­cise, and over­all high qual­i­ty prod­uct (com­pared to man­u­al work) for a vari­ety of appli­ca­tions. Spin­dling robots are excel­lent choic­es for appli­ca­tions such as mate­r­i­al removal, debur­ring, milling, or pre­cise rout­ing. They help to make work pieces clean and uni­form for man­u­fac­tur­ing processes.

Since the spin­dling process pro­duces large amounts of dust and par­ti­cles dur­ing the mate­r­i­al removal process, an auto­mat­ed robot helps to keep humans free and clear of the result­ing haz­ardous work­ing environment.

Depend­ing on the spe­cif­ic needs of your job and appli­ca­tion, there are a vari­ety of EOATs (such as the Colum­bo Pneu­mat­ic Spin­dle) and robot mod­els (avail­able from Fanuc, ABB, Motoman, and KUKA) to enhance your spin­dling productivity.

For instance, the LR Mate 200iB from Fanuc is a cus­tomer favorite. It is a very ver­sa­tile, com­pact robot that can be used for numer­ous appli­ca­tions, mak­ing your pro­duc­tion line more dynam­ic. There are a vari­ety of mount­ing options and it has the abil­i­ty to flip over back­wards, increas­ing its over­all work enve­lope. Addi­tion­al­ly, the LR Mate 200-iB R‑30iA can use machine vision for guid­ance and inspec­tion, and has high joint speeds that max­i­mizes through­put, sav­ing the con­sumer time and labor costs.

Motoman takes pride in their EH80 mod­el that is a mas­ter at tack­ling han­dling appli­ca­tions at high speeds. With an 80 kg pay­load, inter­nal cabling, and a huge work­ing enve­lope, it is hard to beat. 

The KUKA KR 60 HA (seen in the video above) is incred­i­bly accu­rate and made with fin­er gears to be able to pre­cise­ly fin­ish jobs in a vari­ety of appli­ca­tions. This mod­el can tack­le 30 kg, and the oth­er two mod­els can tack­le 30 kg or 100 kg! 

Anoth­er cus­tomer favorite, the ABB IRB 140 gives the pro­duc­tion line a mul­ti­pur­pose robot (IP 67 rat­ing) that can rotate 360 degrees with fast accel­er­a­tions and com­plete a large work­ing enve­lope. It can be mount­ed via floor, sus­pend­ed, or wall. This reli­able IRB140 robot is a tru­ly a great addi­tion to any facility.
