The Necessity of Material Removal Robots

Mate­r­i­al removal is prob­a­bly one of the most used and nec­es­sary group of robot­ic appli­ca­tions avail­able for man­u­fac­tur­ing today. While weld­ing and mate­r­i­al han­dling appli­ca­tions are nec­es­sary for mov­ing things down the line or piec­ing them togeth­er, the pieces them­selves would not be formed with­out the var­i­ous array of dif­fer­ent mate­r­i­al removal appli­ca­tions avail­able for robot sys­tems to perform.

Cut­ting is one of the most com­mon of all the mate­r­i­al removal process­es. Any work piece will more than like­ly have to be cut at one point or anoth­er to make it the right approx­i­mate shape for what­ev­er prod­uct it will become. This piece could get pressed in a mold or weld­ed to anoth­er piece or even fit togeth­er by an assem­bly robot, but it was that mate­r­i­al removal robot that first had to cut the piece and send it down the line.

But it isn’t all front of the line work for mate­r­i­al removal robots – they’re per­form­ing impor­tant process­es at the end of the line too. Mate­r­i­al removal robot­ic sys­tems are debur­ring prod­ucts to make sure that there are no sharp or oth­er imper­fec­tions on the piece, and pol­ish­ing robots work to take off all of the grease and oth­er grime that may get on a prod­uct dur­ing pro­duc­tion. These robot­ic mate­r­i­al removers are there to improve the aes­thet­ic of a piece. If a piece looks good, and all the pieces are prop­er­ly cut and assem­bled, that is half the bat­tle, and most of that bat­tle was per­formed by robot mate­r­i­al removers.
