FANUC America Authorized System Integrator Redin Production Machine developed this snap ring groove deburring system using a FANUC LR Mate 200iD robot to automatically debur the parts in less than 30 seconds.

The system starts as a proximity sensor alerts the FANUC LR Mate that a part is ready to enter the system. The FANUC robot picks the part and places it onto the collet. The collet clamps the part, and the spindle rotates. An air motor with deburring wheel starts and the FANUC robot moves into position to deburr the inner diameter of the part. The FANUC robot holds the deburring wheel in position for one revolution and disengages. The FANUC robot then positions the deburring wheel to the outside of the part on the outer diameter groove for one revolution. The spindle stops upon completion, and the finished part is unclamped, picked and then placed in front of a sensor on the exit side of the conveyor. This process repeats continually using a specialized deburring wheel, which can debur thousands of parts before needing to be replaced.

This one-of-a-kind robotic deburring system is just one of many high-performance automation solutions developed by Redin Production Machine for their satisfied customers. To learn more about Redin Production Machine, please visit http://www.redinmachine.com.
