Project Summary:
A manufacturer of industrial valves came to KC Robotics to find a cost effective 8 axis robotic solution. The company’s overall goal was to integrate the robot in a laser cladding application.
Application Goals:
- Work Envelope: The customer required a large work envelope to accommodate the laser cladding process of their part.
- Tilt / Rotate Table: The customer required a tilt rotate table to adequately access their part.
- Rotate: The process dictates that we rotate their part up to 25 RPM continuously throughout the process.
KC Robotics Work Cell Details:
FANUC Arcmate 120 RJ2 with Aux Axis Package – A reconditioned 6 axis robot with 16kg payload and 1667mm of reach outfitted with an auxiliary axis package featuring 2 additional axes of movement.
Fanuc Powermate Controller – We utilized a FANUC powermate CNC controller to control the rotational axis of the tilt rotate table. This allowed us to continuously turn the rotational axis at 25 RPM.
Troyke: KC robotics utilized a Troyke TIL-25-C tilt rotate table for the external axis’s to drive.
Operator interface – Push button interface with Start, Hold, Reset and E-stop.
